Australia to UK 2016 via Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Europe
 

Hi Guys :thumbup1:

Just thought I'd put this out there.
I'm planning mid 2016 Oz to UK. Shipping bike through South Korea to Vladivostok. Riding Mongolia, Kazakhstan then on towards Moscow down through northern Europe and eventually the UK.
Have always planned this to be a solo venture but some company would be good.
I'll be on my Triumph Tiger 800xc.

Hi, will you do/avoid Macadan and Road of Bones?

I'm not planning on going that far north. Planning to follow the Russian Chinese border round to Mongolia. Then back into Russia and into Kazakhstan.

Me too
 

Hi , as it says above I too would like to join your group or just whoever is going, have done all of Europe, in the UK now doing volunteer work and flying back for Xmas then it either a Tiger. Xc or a V Strom, must be a good idea to have two bikes the same though,
Will be bunked down in Sydney for the term in Aus

Regards Davo

Let met know your thoughts and we'll go from there if your keen

Hi Davo, there's no group only me. With regards to bikes, take what ever you want. Not sure it's massively important to have the same make and model and I guess it all depends on you overall budget. I'm taking the Tiger as that's what I got. See how things pan out but would be worth maybe having a chat when you're back in Sydney to see how things are aligning/panning out.
Cheers

oz to Europe
 

Hi man.
How much is ur budget for that trip?
I have plan to drive back home (Estonia ) with dr650 next year but im not sure if i haave enough money for that....
And some company would be nice also.

I'm budgeting at approx $100 per day (hopefully less) for 100 days plus shipping flights visas insurance etc

How much is cost of garnet?
I have send them emails......but havent get any good answer. ..

From what I've found out I won't need a a Carnet De passage for Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan or Europe. Happy to be corrected on this but thats what my web searches have resulted in

Hey there Barney,

My best mate and I are also planning Oz to UK next year, although earlier than you by the sounds of things. We've also got a similarly hopeful budget to you.

We're planning on taking off in February - riding as much as we can South to North in Oz (we're Melbourne based), before shipping to KL and continuing from there. Just researching the China crossing now, and it goes without saying that the bigger the party, the cheaper the crossing. Did you plan to ride through China, or just around it? (Not sure what you meant by 'shipping through South Korea')

Very open to joining forces if it benefits all parties.

Hi Barney

You could look at this RR which is on now ongoing with a group from Chiang Mai Thailand to Vladivostok and reports on Hotels, Roads also some details on border crossing.

Could be of interest to you with good information.

I and a group of 2 Chinese riders will leave Shandong Province in June 2016 on a ride to the UK and back with our outward legs along the lines of yours.

If you decide you wish to travel into China then PM me as I could be able to help with some contacts with agents who can arrange all the correct documents to legally entry China on OZ plated bike it's not easy but can be done at a cost
.
Now do you miss the report posted on here just recently.

Here is a link for a guy who got his none Chinese plated bike across the border from Russia into China without a agent or a guide.

Please keep me updated with your plans and maybe we can tie up along the way.

Hi Jimmy, I haven't planned on venturing into China on this trip and due to commitments in March back in the UK I couldn't start that early. Re shipping through South Korea. I'm basically shipping the bike from Oz to Vladivostok. It'll go in and out of Korea crated if that makes sense:yes:
Cheers
Neil

Thanks for that. I'll have a look at those threads over a coffee this morning.

No worries Neil - all sounds great! Good luck ;)

May 2016 is now looking fairly firm as the month for departure. :scooter::scooter::scooter:
