OZ to UK, 2003
 

Would like to leave OZ for the UK around March/April. Haven't done any concrete planning yet, just dreaming and reading, but need to start. If anybody is planning on leaving Darwin for Asia around the same time let me know and maybe we can swap stories and provide encouragement.

Hiya!
Great stuff. Hope you get started really soon.
Im from Singapore and will be doing my trip from Singapore-Malaysia-Thailand-Myanmar(if possible)India-Pakistan-Iran-Turkey-Bulgaria-Yugo- all the way till Ireland. My departure date is sometime end Feb to March 2003. Im awaiting my carnet paperwork, and will be apllying visas for 5 countries that i need. Myanmar, India, Pakistan, Iran, Bulgaria. I suppose you'll need the same visas too.
My bike ('89 Dommie) is now being prepared, waiting for new gaskets before we sew her up, and then to make some racks & panniers and i will be ready. Lets keep in touch.

Cheers

interested in the same route at the same time - you have no specific dates set?

My husband and I rode, on 2 Honda Shadows, from Newcastle N.S.W. to France. If you want to, email me or ring me on 02 49970139, and I may be able to answer any questions you may have. Will give you heaps of encouragement that is for sure. If you want someone to show you the way. . . . I wish!!!!!

Thanks for the replies. Dalbir, sounds like your well advanced with your planning. Pretty exciting time eh? Mark, have emailed you. Hi Carol. Having followed the HUBB postings for a while I think you win a prize for being most keen to do it all again. Will certainly contact you soon and greatly appreciate the offer. Also nice the offer to show me where to go. I usually just get told where to go!!!
Current plan is to leave Darwin for East Timor and Island Hop from there. Anybody know why this can't be done?

Regards

John

Well, it looks like its all go at this stage. A couple of us have made contact and have arranged to meet in Darwin in April and head off to UK.

Hi ;

I have similar plans ,but the otherway around. Somewhere in April i will leave Nepal to head back home. But will travel intensely in Pakistan and Iran ,but just a little bit of India.

I have prepared notes for these four countries ; where to stay in which town and some notes regarding to countries etc.

It may help you for accomodation plans , so if you want i can e-mail it to you.

Hi USL

Yes thanks. That sounds great. Hope your having a great time.
