Update as of 14th March 2013
This trip is looking more positive now as a group appears to be emerging:
1. myself - 1 rider - definite starter;
2. Imran (@imraali) - 1 rider - possible starter;
3. James (@Markoja) - 2up - possible starters;
4. Fearless - 2 or 4 people with 1 or 2 4x4, possible starters, willing to take the Chinese guide;
5. Leo (@leonardo) - has expressed an interest. Send me PM Leo if you have any specific questions. Re bike, I will be riding an R1200 GSA.
Lisa @ NAVO will be arranging all of the bureaucracy for us - we just have to show up with our vehicles at the Touragart Pass in Kyrgyzstan on 20 Aug 2013.
There is still time for this trip to happen but we will have to pick up the momentum somewhat. If anyone else would like to join us then do please get in touch ASAP.
I also have a new Chinese contact who will be able to advise on Tibet and the chances of obtaining permits and will post a further update once I hear from him.
