Ride Far,

Our start dates are a few weeks off, but I do tend to take my time in places, so I think you may catch up, ha. I also have some friends in South Africa and a few paperwork things to deal with so I may drag my feet leaving. Right now I plan on arriving in Egypt around Late January-February of 2016.

Hi Jmi, just a quick update.
I am defiantly going to leave South Africa in April, reach Europe in summer.
How are your plans coming along ?
Cheers
JC

Hi Jmi…. sure, I’m full speed ahead on the ride and gearing up to arrive in South Africa in late September and start the adventure :thumbup1:

From HUBB and Facebook, I’ve counted about eight to 10 overlanders, both bikes and 4x4s, heading northeast toward Egypt at about the same time, so it should be a decent stream of adventurer traffic in that direction.

Cape town to europe
 

We are leaving from Cape town & heading up the west coast....may pass a couple of you & have a beer
Cheers

Great route!

Still interested
 

Hi Mark,

Just a quickie to say don't give up on me. My cylinder kit is being worked on at M-Tech out in Bend, OR as we speak, and both my shocks are currently being rebuilt in NC. What a guy has to do!!!

Hi Mark (Ride Far)

Ive put a map up of what I intend to do on another post. I think if it all goes well I should pop out in Zambia around end of September. As you can see from my route I then plan to head back north so I can do the east side of Lake Tanganyika which Ive wanted to do ever since working out there and also up to Kenya to go to Sibiloi National Park up near lake Turkana Kenya.

I then will head back south and down the east side of Mozambique.

Hoping we can catch up for a beer or two. Hope you enjoyed the blog I sent you.

If there is anyone else keen to catch up and do this you can check out my post on here Morocco to Cape Town starting July 7 or my blog.

Hey Pat, sounds good. If you enter Zambia in late September it would be close, as I plan to to arrive in Jo'burg in late September. Hopefully you'll get stuck in the mud and delayed on the track to Lubumbashi... no, wait... just kidding! bier

Hi Omar, I will be going through Egypt next year around June, I definitely would like to keep in touch with you
Cheers, JC

Hey Jmi, I sent you a PM...

Such a cool route. Hope all goes well!

Likewise sent you a PM. Planning to start riding north about late October.

JoBurg to Kenya and back
 

Hi everyone.

Hope to fly to Joburg end of October, buy bikes and ride up to Kenya and back (seems so easy!). Plans are progressing slowly. Would be great to meet up with anyone else doing similar.

I'm in
 

Hi Mark,

I'm in. Check your email.

South Africa here we come! :D

Hey Jmi... not sure if it's a good idea to post emails on a public thread, but I sent you a PM and yes, we can start email exchange among you, Crawford, me and anyone else interested.

I don't have your email address yet, but you'll have mine in the PM, so email me and we'll get this thing rolling. bier :thumbup1:
