London to Austrailia September/October 2012
Im thinking of getting on my bike and riding to Aus over the next few months if anyone has the same idea.
I dont have a plan as such right now, im open to ideas for routes.
Or whether theres only so far you want to go and get it shipped the rest of the journey. Either way it would be a hell of a journey.....

Thanks for tip. Did you write about you experience on here? Was wondering how much it cost you and the route you took?
Cheers.

Hi Daan,
I'm actually plotting a trip east and similar timing. Fancied going solo but be good to keep in touch and meet up on route. I'm planning Iran-Pakistan-India.. early days for me too, but looking to set sail in October.

I've been told by the locals here in Eastern Turkey, that October/November will be freezing with deep snow here. The motorway is 2200m above sea level, and trucks need snow chains.
