That sounds perfect. I'm flying into Kyrgyzstan before the fifth. I'll need a day to work on my bike and then I'll head for the border. This will be fun!
How much have they quoted for this service?

Hi.
to join trip, contact Edward at Navo, use refrence 'China Jolly' or 'Joe's China Jolly'
"Edward / China NAVO Tour" <edward.zhao@navo-tour.com>
My Quote from Navo is 22300RNB or GB£2500, for 7 days in China.
from 'Torugart' on 9th Sept. to 'Khunjerab Pass' fairly fixed route.
this for two people, paper work & numberplates and guide in China.
Extra people would share cost of guide, so expect to pay less 1/2 above figure.
less still if U have spare seat in a car.
Finally Brenan, can we meet for chat,. ideal in UK somewhere,
would be nice foir my wife Heather to know some we should meet.
ring or .txt 07778 000888
still 6weeks before we set off on ferry to Amsterdam!
getting Excited now,
Joe.

Hi Joe,
I just wrote Edward. I'm sure I'll here back from him soon.
I'm working in Italy at the moment and I doubt I'll be up in the UK anytime soon. I'll give you a ring soon. You can add me on Facebook, Brennan Dates.
I'm excited, thanks for setting this up!

Hi Tobern. I am in Bulgaria now and want to ride to Thailand. Timing seems fine to me. I plan to cross the Caspian, why you find this complicated? As for the China crossing, I would like to join.
