London to Vladivostok June/July 2015
Hi all!
I am planning a trip riding from London to Vladivostok on my 2014 KTM 690 Enduro, starting June/July 2015.
Expecting to do it solo, but would like to see if anyone else is riding in that direction, and wants to hook up for any part of it!?
Rough route is as follows:
London-Kiev-Volgograd-Astana-Barnaul-Ulaan Bataar-Chita-Vladivostok.
Due to work commitments in London, i want to complete the journey in around 40-50 days. I want to ride the length of Kazakhstan and Mongolia, but pretty much race through much of Europe.
Let me know if you are interested and give me your thoughts!

We could combine our effort on some part of the route.
Hi Will,
I'm planning to go from Moscow to Almaty (Kazakhstan) via Tadjikistan.
I'm going to depart from Moscow on 13-14 of June. I'll be riding Suzuki DR650.
I have to meet my guide on 20th of June in Samarkand. And go with the group to Pamir mountains. We could go together with you from Moscow to Samarkand, then you could go further east to Mongolia OR you could continue with us and visit Pamir and go along the border with Afganistan. (I could send you guide charges if you are intersted in that part) Then you could go further to Mongolia. Samrkand to Almaty part will take about 17 days. Arrival to Almaty is planned on 7th of July.
Please let me know if you interested.
Kindest regards.
Leonid.

Will, I'm looking at going to Samarkand and back starting July 2015. No detail planning yet but Kiev was one of the routes I'd considered. I'm just in Hampshire so may be worth a chat to discuss routes visas etc., and maybe join up for the first week or so.

Its my dream too! Now I've almost made it a reality!
I have a Russian colleague who will take me through some of the basics, but nothing more than the basics! Never been good with languages!
