We did a trip to Kiev and experienced the over zealous Police. Also you never achieve what you think should be your average speed. I guess we should be allow 10 days for the drive.
As for stopping at Barnaul, we have to leave the van somewhere and from what I have read that part of the road is more suited to a motorcycle.
I first read of your exploits reading the Sibirsky Extreme. It was from looking at and reading that that encouraged me to want to travel further. We did the Indian Himalayas self supported and part of my inspiration for this trip is your website and also reading about the pace of change in some of these countries.
I cannot contact you directly through a PM, but would appreciate it it you could PM me.
Thank you very much for your advice.
Regards Neil
