UK to Africa or Aus very late09 or early10?
Hello all,
testing the waters on my very first thread/post to this forum. Am looking to join reliable travel partner/partners on a trip down through Africa or to Australia in late 09/early10. Hedging my bets as I am interested to see who's out there and what plans they have.
Am a virtual novice to all this but have had a bike licence for a number of years and acquired a Honda NSX650 last year. I have attended an off-road course and a mechanics course as well as researching Chris Scott's Overland book but that's about it. By the way I am no expert concerning the above by any stretch of the imagination regarding off-road skills and mechanics.
I am attending the HUBB meeting in Ripley 09 but probably won't be there until Saturday, but am interested to hear from anyone with ideas that are "further down the road" pardon the pun, to making it a reality. I am also interested to learn about any useful hints and tips that people might be able to offer as to sources of information, be it maps, courses, books etc.
Any constructive advice welcome, and look forward to meeting at the HUBB gathering if that's a possibility.
Thank you for your interest
