hu mongolia event question
 

I will be in Europe during the time the Mongolia event is going on. would like to try to make it but have one little question..... how long Days would it take to ride across Russia and Mongolia to make it to the event? applying for a Russia tourist visa for my trip and wondering if i would have to apply for multiple do to travel time? also what would be the average mile one would be traveling in a day, as i understand the roads are almost non existent. any help would be greatly appreciate. thanks

That's a REALLY hard question to answer, it depends entirely on you, and what you're riding, and your experience at long hard days in the saddle. I would look in the Northern Asia forum for discussions on crossing Russia, and see what the general consensus is.

According to google maps, it's 8785 km from Paris to UlaanBataar, and 109 hours driving (at the posted speed limit). If you're a superman, you can probably do it in 10 days easy. Us mere mortals might want to take a little longer. The roads across Russia are NOT good!

thank you
 

have done a couple iron but rides over the years but always on US roads. new to the adventure bike so not going to do anything crazy to start, will look at the other meting in europe and if i feel adventurous will try for mongolia . visa will be main deciding factor i believe as of right now, thanks for the info love the sight and info

Heya Grant, Susan et all

I am planning my trip to be at the Mongolia meeting, I am in the depths of Russia at present.

Grant and Susan I hope you don't mind I have a long shot question, I have a 1 month old FT-6 Panasonic that "The Old Summer Road" claimed the LCD screen on so now I cannot see what picture I am taking and cannot use any modes.

In my long shot question is anyone coming from Canada or USA that can bring a replacement camera?

In the USA etc it is called a TS-6, I am happy to paypal upfront if someone can help.

Either way unless I become Grizzly Bear lunch I will see everyone at the Mongolia Meeting.

Many thanks, Andi

sorry can't help off-hand, best of luck!


you CAN buy cameras in Ulaan Bataar.
