I am planning on riding to Magadan in March/April 2019, from the UK via Belarus, Kazakhstan and Mongolia. I will be returning to UK, September/October, return route will depend on how long it takes on the outbound trip.

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.

I headed out on my trip 5 years ago after only 2day my partner's father died so I made the decision to come back, next year I'll be in Morocco with a bunch of mates and I think we are biking France. 2020 I'll be have my bike transported to northern Asia I will be flying out to pick the bike up and ride back,
Not sure if that's something u would be interested in doing, I recall reading somewhere that some one in Europe takes your bike in a truck across Asia then u pick the bike up, maybe some one can spread some light on this

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

@Touring Ted, @Samy
My wife and I are scheduled to kick off May 2019 from Paris to Russia, Mongolia, Russia, (ROB, Magadan, Vladivostok) Japan, SKorea, SEA back to France.

Or who knows Indonesia to AUS.

It's all a question of timing...no need to be camping in the snow of Siberia.

We'll be poking along on a pair WR250Rs

Keep in touch
Chris and Fanny
