Magadan to Yakutsk
Hi Adrian
Sorry for delay in replying, I am back in the UK after deciding to leave my bike in Magadan due to mechanical problems. Crankcase cracked by a nasty rock.
The road from Magadan to Yakutsk was far more enjoyable than I expected and I did it in four days. However, a lot depends on the weather conditions you get. Rain can turn the road to very sticky mud in places. There were no sections that I would describe as particularly difficult or requiring anything more than reasonable skill levels.
As far as accomodation is concerned... I camped just off the road twice with no problems at all. It does get cold at night in the hilly sections tho and I stayed in a road workers cabin one night. They guys are brilliant and I was well fed and warm as toast.
The only thing to beware of is the long gap between fuel stops from Susuma to Ust-Nera. About 410km i think.
Feel free to ask any further questions. I will try and logon again later.
Enjoy!!
