Look forward to catching up about your trip when you get back to Edi. Try to put if off for a week then I can come for drinks too!
That's a good quote. I was more than that for my trip (non biking) with climbing etc cover.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this.

I was just about to spunk more than a grand with Campbell Irvine (12 months, unlimited CC bike, 42 years old, worldwide) when I read this thread. Have just arranged cover for medical expenses with Navigator for £280! No excess, and renewable while you're away. (Not covered for bags/cash etc).

Simon, and everyone
Just a heads up for you. We just spoke to Yvonne at Navigator and their renewable on the road policy will no longer exist after the end of the year and they have no plan to replace it with another.

We were originally going with Healthcare International which quoted a reasonable £329 each renewable on the road with repatriation but when we went to book the policy the price has gone to £1440 for both of us ... ouch!!
Now getting a bit desperate as we are leaving on the 2nd Jan and still looking for cover.
