Who's planning a UK - Mongolia/Russian/Vllad Asian trip for 2019 ?

[*Touring Ted*]

I'm just putting the feelers out if anyone else has this on the horizon. I've got an idea to leave the U.K in May 2019 and heading east to Mongolia.. Maybe sell the bike there or keep going. In absolutely no rush whatsoever but obviously wanting to finish before the winter.

It would be nice to share plans, ideas and maybe even the road.

Hoping to do something big next year Ted, but not decided where yet, looking for inspiration. Biggest trip so far is UK to Thailand via Turkey, Stans & China in 2014. East again is one possibility.

Hi Ted,

Planning to do Stans, Mongol, Bam and ROB in 2019 via Iran, starting from Turkiye.

The route roughly will be as : Iran, Turkmen, Uzbek, Tajik, Kyrgz, Kaz, Mon, Rus.
After completin BAM and ROB, possible to pass to Sakhalin and Japan or back to Omsk or Ufa by Train and to Turkiye via Georgia or Ukraine, Moldova, Romania and Bulgaria.

Want to do this trip with a WR250 R. Hope to complete it in 3 months.

If can't catch 2019, in 2020 I hope ...

I will be heading back to the UK from Magadan around that time if all goes according to plan. I will be riding an Enfield Himalayan. Your timescale works well for me.

Well we are thinking about giving it another try this coming year. After shipping our bikes to Europe from Canada in 2017 we only made it as far as Ukraine where my wife ending up breaking her wrist.
We have been back in Canada but our bikes remain in Belgium awaiting our return.
Heading east from Belgium sometime around early May is what we are looking at.

Planning something similar route + date, but I need to pick up a bike in Mongolia or somewhere. Anyone planning to sell around July or August? Can ride the bike back to UK

The ferry from Bodø to Å on the Lofoten Islands is well worth taking.
