cheers Tim , did have a butchers but although it was pretty informative id rather speak to someone who did it without the aid of an unlimited budget and an unbelievably well prepared back up crew.:)

me and my girlfriend are looking to go this way but then on itno china and nepal.

Cool trip out there! I have a friend working in Novosibirsk (Siberia) so could email them for latest fuel prices etc nearer the time. Don't think fuel too much of a problem. From what they say roads are BIG problem and driving standards are well dangerous, a friend of a friend lost her mother in a crash in E.Russia so bit of a sore issue. Should be OK in Defender, advise travelling in more than one vehicle just in case...

Could join u in Northern Europe to Siberia section if time allows;-)

What you really need to do is get yer backside up to the Royal Geographical Society (http://www.rgs.org/HomePage.htm) in London.

A lot of people who do expeditions submit the details and they get stored in their libraries.

You'll also find the best maps available up there to look at routes etc.

Yeah, could do that, but it takes the spirit of adventure out of it. Far better to get road maps and compass ;-)

no harm in doing some ground work first. maps are a good place to start , learning basic words in russian might also be a good idea.;)

True, map and phrase book;-)

Ive been to Kazan, which is quite far east.. A very exciting trip, covered in my series 2.. The Russians are good people and some fantastic sights.
My back-up was a tool box and vehicle sympathy..
