March '09 UK via Mid East to Cape Town
 Anyone (or two) interested in travelling with a hombre down the classic East Africa route?
Looking at riding from the UK down to Bari, Italy, catching a ferry to Greece, then riding through Turkey, Syria, Jordan and jump on the ferry to Nuweiba in Egypt and burning on through the Sinai to Giza. From the Pyramids, begins the classic route down to Cape Town.
My bike's an XT600E ('Beth'), already completely prepped. Beth is waiting for me to get my ass into gear, to squirrel the finances together.
I haven't done any serious off-roading before, so am booked onto the BMW off-road skills course in Wales at end of June to skill up, practising on a G650Xchallenge.
July 4-7 I'll be at the HU rally in Ripley, Derbyshire, so we could meet up there to suss each other out???
