Help needed, route avoidance areas, UK to Australia
Hi all
we're at very early stage planning UK to Australia. I want to start with as specific a question as I can before going into further detail another time.
Between UK and Australia we are considering we could go through:
Route 1 - Turkey/Iran/the Stans, then briefly into China and then down into Pakistan then India or
Route 2 - we could go Turkey/Georgia/Iran/Pakistan/india and miss out the Stans. (We do not wish to go Russia or Mongolia). We wonder especially if the Stans may be too difficult to ride 2 up heavy loaded. So our question is:
Is there anywhere/areas you would say we could not physically ride it 2 up on a fully loaded R1200GSA???
Previous experience - We are happy riding on ripio gravel, packed dirt, bad tarmac. But we really struggle on wet mud and sand is just too much for us (& our clutch). We've already done an 8 month 42,000kms trip BA/Ushuaia/Alaska with lots of ripio roads in Patagonia and the Caraterra Austral. We've also done UK, Nordkapp, Romania, UK 2 months (just got back) & numerous road tours in Europe.
So, where might we find impassable or just really difficult 2 up and heavy?
