Ok the route....

Righto, well I am not one for too much planning, afterall you can't plan fun! Also I am dictated to by the current situation. So the route east gives choices of Russia and the trans-siberian highway or to go further south through Pakistan, India, Myanmar. Unfortunately Iran aren't letting in bikes with a engine bigger than 250cc (knew I should have got that CRF!) so that puts my route further north. Dropping into Pakistan means going through the Stans .. particuarly Afghanistan and I'm not ready for that.

Hence the northern route through Russia and Kazakhstan. I only have 30 days visa for Russia so I have to make the trip to Vlad in that time. So through the baltics to St Petersburg, Moscow and then onwards.

Vancouver is planned from Vlad.. after that I have no idea. I'm assuming my TomTom and Booking.com will be enough to get me there!
