Portsmouth to Ulaanbataar via the 'Stans' 2012 on a C90 (or similar)
After getting through a few trips on four wheels (all clapped out motors!): UK to Casablanca, UK to Prague and most recently UK to Timbuktu. I have finally accepted that there is no real challenge unless you are fully exposed to the elements.After the Timbuktu trip I realised that the slower you travel and the more open you are to interaction the more rewarding the experience. As a result I have opted for a trip to Mongolia, will try to raise money for charity in the process, on the ultimate means to move slowly and iteract; a Honda C90 (or something very close to it).Hoping that there's someone out there who has done similar and can give some advice, in particular the Caspian Sea crossing and border crossings through Turkmenistan, Uzbek and Kazak.I will be a small team of three but always room for one more!!John Badger
