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

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 ...

E To W Russia to UK 2019
 

Planning to leave Vlad or Mag end of July 2019 for London 3-4 months. Shipping to/from Australia. DR650. Hoping to follow Sibirsky route (BAM, OSM from Mag) if others interested.

buy me coffee , pick my brain ( if you can find it )

3 in 1 sachet of Nescafé and I'll bring an ear bud.

Ha ha , 3 in 1 , we can pretend were on the road

I hate 3-1

is it just me or do you ask this question every year?

It's not you. I do ask this question every year. Shit keeps getting in the way. Business, family greivances, money etc. Usual boring stuff. That's why I never commit. But keep gathering info and be ready incase the window of opportunity stays open.

If you ask it again next year I'm in. 2020 is the year I've set myself (for various reasons earlier isn't an option), and I'll be doing the Trans Siberian Highway to Ulan-Ude picking up some interesting points on the way. Then Mongolia, UB and thereabouts, back up to Barnaul and down through KZ to ride the Pamir Highway, thence the Silk Road through Uzbekistan, Caspian ferry to Baku and home via Georgia and Turkey. Not planning to munch the mileage, 2-300 kms on riding days and be prepared to stop and smell the flowers in between. Probably leaving around 1 May 20 so the Siberian leg isn't too cold; means the Stans will be hot (but the high roads will be OK) and I get back to Blighty Octoberish.

Russia
 

Very early stages of planning to ride across myself Ted I’ll be in no rush quite a few routes, options then will need to ship to Japan, plenty of HUBB searching, etc

We are planning on heading from Europe into Russia and up to the stans next summer

Bump !!! :innocent:

If your interested in a 'hanger on' and you keep posting I'll keep watching your ideas here Des. Your plan might be a bit too long duration for me but it might fit in part or (possibly) in full bier

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.

Bump... :D

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

that's insane if not impossible........


Anyway we are leaving on suzuki's drz400s 1th of May 2019 from Amsterdam to the east via Belarus, Russia, into the Stans through Kazakhstan, Kyrg, Tjajik, Uz, Kan with boat to Caucasus, boar Georgia, Ukraine, Moldova back home in six months.
We'll be interested in backroads/offroad. Suggestions are welcome!

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

@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
