Hi Valakut,

It sounds like we are going to be about around the same time so keep in touch and when we have a definite route plan we should all make contact.

Team of three motorhomes
Hi Everybody,

Our trip is looking good we are looking like a team of three motorhomes/overlanders at the moment crossing Mongolia and China, We are OK as a team of three,however, we would consider 1 or 2 more motorhomes/overlanders to join us if you are going our way at the same time and that would cut the cost of the guide in China.

So if you are thinking of joining us please let us know asap.

Dave.

I and my wife are planning to travel to Sydney from Ireland via Istanbul-the Stans-Mongolia-Loas-Malaysia. This would start early 2014. We have a 4x4 Sprinter camper and are looking for a group to cross China around June 2014 with to bring down the costs.




Thanks Trevor

Good luck Dave - hope it goes well for all of you!

Looks like we will be in China around the same time, but we are planning to enter from Kyrgyzstan and exit to Mongolia. Maybe our paths will cross!

If anyone is interested in joining our group please get in touch!

Andy

Crossing myanmar 2014
Hello! we are planning to cross Myanmar between February and March, we have a safe contact and thanks to him one group is crossing now (we are waiting for the report from our friend in the group) and another will cross early February. The cost with this guy can be around 1000 dollars including food and hotels (sleeping half night in the vehicles) and all the permissions with escort.
Prices are per vehicle for 5/6 days it can decrease depending on the number of participants. Anyone interested?

Hi Lisa,

Yes we are and have booked a guide, there are 3 converted trucks/vans in our party and we will be sleeping in the vehicles most of the time, we are well into the planning and in the next week or two we will be paying a 50% deposit for the guide. if you would like to join us I would first have to consult with the others in the other 2 vehicles, our itinerary is that we are meeting on the border of Russia and Mongolia on the 14th June then crossing Mongolia and the Gobi together and arriving at the Mongolian/Chinese border on the 29th July (this is where you could meet if you didn't want to do Mongolia with us) to take the trip across China with the guide then exiting China at the border with Laos on the 1st August.
Let me know as soon as possible about the above itinerary and if it fits in with you and if so I will speak with the others,

Kind regards

Dave & Lesley

Helloooooooooo
Hi I am Ken Holmes I live and work in China,going on 7 yrs, new to the HUBB, cannot navigate my way around the HUBB but ride a 1200 ADV GS and own a CHIANGJIANG 750. I am very annoyed at people taking advantage of other like minded people who wish to travel through or in China by motorcycle. Cannot offer all the answers, peeved at people in China wanting to make money out of bike riders because it is apparently difficult to organise everything. Open to like minded riders, annoyed I cannot make the first meeting in Shanghai but open to all comms. Attended my first gathering in Dayboro, QLD, Australia last September and loved it. Have ridden many roads, know many good places, have many good friends in China who ride bikes and treat riders with respect. If I can help in any way please contact me on larryken67@gmail.com
