There is a link - the BAM road. And we did do it.

A bit problematic at times but, as you saw in the ADV thread we met Poles in 4X4s coming the other way who did it as far as Tynda before turning south for Mongola.

8340SU said he was planning to follow the BAM east only as far as Sevrobaikalsk.
My second post was a query as to what was he proposing to do once he got there, as there is nowhere else to go except further along the BAM to Tynda - or turn back.

sorry Tony, I misread your posts. I thought those places were along the BAM

I will likely pick your brains along with Colebatch closer to the time if that is ok.

If Zheleznogorsk is a closed city then my only advice is to stick with the BAM road ... the P419.

Maybe its a pity, but the road between Bratsk and Severobaikalsk is not that tough ... its 90% dirt, with a few short bits of asphalt. As Tony says, it can be a bit tougher and more interesting between Taishet and Bratsk.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
