G'day from Australia
Hey - We're Harry (36M) and Liss (30F) and we're in the early stages of planning a 9-12 mo. Lon-Syd ride starting Aug 2020. We've been lurking in the shadows of the HUBB for so long so thought we should actually start getting involved.
We're currently in Sydney, and spending as much time as possible trying to find good on and offroad routes in New South Wales to build up my skills for the big trip (we've heard West Africa has some particularly rugged main roads).
Planning to keep track of our progress on Youtube so we have something to look back on. At the minute it's mostly Liss being a learner and falling over a lot, and Harry riding bikes that explode. We're riding a Royal Enfield Himalayan and a DR650 at the moment, but we'll swap out the Himalayan for a matching Suzuki by the time we set off.
Loads of questions we're trying to work out at the moment, like:
-Where to ride in Australia pre-trip,
-What gear to travel with,
-To camp or not to camp,
-Can we actually cross West to East Africa without taking a year on its own, or packing onto a plan at some point?
-Travelling with a drone (scare stories from Iran),
-Not-to-miss places in Europe,
See you in the boards and on the road!
