Blimey! That’s a trek & half Simon, will take a look!

[g6mow]

It certainly is Ian. He’s a braver man than me !!

[Zytec]

He’s a braver man than me !!

And me

[Wolfie]

I wouldn't even want to go there in a Tank... with air and naval support...

[Olde Coney]

Maybe he could get some advice from Noraly.....its not a trip I would consider....even when I was able

[Triple Parts]

Wow, I reckon that's about 3,000 miles! He sounds out of breath just filming the bike

[malc87]

No chance , I won't visit any country where various regions puts little value on life.
Hope the trip goes well and safe for him.

I think of the two going around the world and were told not to go into a real volatile country Iran in January 2025.
There still there in prison and that country has deteriorated so much due to world events.

The idea doesn't appeal to me at all,but we all must follow our dreams. Long time dead and all that.

I've subscribed and will be following his exploits. I hope everything lives up to the dream.

No chance.....too many scumbags around that way. Life is cheap there.....why do you think they all have 10 kids

[TimH1]

Me neither. Though not just due to the safety concerns, more to the bureaucracy you encounter- I've ready lots of accounts of such trips and they seem to involve regularly spending hours or days waiting at borders & consulates for visas etc., plus being stopped to check your papers (& get a bribe) numerous times a day. Never sounds too much fun.

The reason for having 10 kids is a numbers game so there is more chance that some will get over here to pizz me off

And to the original question,

Not a chance in hell would I ride through anywhere like that, look what happened to the couple that rode through Iran

[malc87]

They were strongly advised NOT to go to Iran Mike?
And what mess they are in now some 18 months later

[Doctorpayday]

If i was a lot younger and had sufficient funds, maybe?

But I'm not and never.

Good luck.

He has had a few days of sorting out paperwork insurance etc which had held him up unexpectantly .
Although he had filmed quite a bit of content he is struggling to get it off the camera and onto his laptop. Last time I heard off him he was intending to speak to his Grandson via FaceTime to talk him through the process!!!

Pending then.

My lad's just turned 19 and seems to have the travel bug. Last week the idiot went to Transnistria. No, I didn't know either but it's an automonous breakaway territory that aligns itself with Russia. It's on the Ukraine/Moldovan border. It's one of the places that the Foreign Office advises against all travel to.
Anyway, he managed to get in and out unscathed. Fkn idiot.

When I was 19 I considered a weekend camping at Scarborough an adventure, never mind going to the edge of a warzone in an unrecognised state .
That said, I was also a fkn idiot at that age and did stupid things that now, as a parent, I'm ashamed and mortified by.

[Mitsui Spy]

But he did get a fridge magnet so that's the main thing eh?
