London to Capetown October-ish 2015
I'm currently planning a trip from London to Cape Town, keen to start in October but could postpone for a short period if the right person/people are keen to join.
At the moment I'm leaning towards going the eastern route through Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya and beyond. I potentially have a friend who lives in Kenya joining for the last half half and someone else in Addis Ababa is also interested. I speak a bit of basic Swahili and hoping to be better by the start of the trip.
I'd love to take a route down the Western side but I'm apprehensive about doing that route solo.
I'm thinking of doing the trip on a DRZ-400. I'm 26 and fairly easy going. I've learnt basic repair skills on a 3 month course and hoping to have another three months of learning under my belt by the time I leave.
If you're interested (for part or all of the route) or know anyone who might be please let me know!
Jimmy
EDIT:***********************UPDATE**************** **********************
Now settled on doing the Western route, a couple of people are keen to join but we could do with a with a few more interested riders!
