After having the crazy idea of driving round the world in my truck, I spent all day on the net looking round for information.
I came up with the three roots show above, the black root goes the "classic" root around the world, this would also be the most hassle free root, as being a UK Citizen The only paper work I would need is business visa for Russia which is easy to get.
The EU and USA/ Canada should be no problem, unless you spend to long there, Ofcourse there would be the usual import export paper work for the truck, but that would be just that paper work as it would not be staying in the USA.
After looking at this map of Russia I came up with this root.
*UK*
Liverpool,
London ,
Dover,
*France*
Callia,
Paris,
*Luxembourg*
*Germany*
Frankfurt,
Leipzig,
Berlin,
*Poland*
Poznan,
Warsaw,
*Belarus*
Brest,
Minsk,
Mahilyow,
*Russia*
Smolensk,
Moscow,
Nizhiny,
Kazan,
Ulfa,
Chelyabinsk,
Kurgan,
Petropavil "Kazakhstan"
Bmsk,
Novosibirsk,
Tomsk,
Kransbyarsk,
Irkutsk,
Ulan Ude,
Chita,
At this point on the map the road runs out, forcing you to go down in to china or get a train to "never" and drive to tynda then go vier Neryungri, Aldan, Yakutsk, Magaden (a large mining port).
Going into china really put me off, I can imagine the paper work, for the "crazy westerners".
I did a bit more digging and found this great site, Practical details on driving through Russia and Mongolia (Feb-2005)
They drove the opposite way from Vladivostok to Southampton, The site has an alternative root following the transiberian railroad.
I have yet to explore ether of the other two roots both of which head down under china, after going past the middle east. One root then goes up and thought Japan and the other goes down thought indonesia and south America.
I think I have final found something to do with one of my domain thingstodobeforeidie.co.uk. Now all I need is some cheap hosting, and more importantly the funds to do it, taking a year or so off work wont be cheap. Never mind the £4000 that would be needed for shipping costs alone.
