[Paul]

Well folks, it looks like its all on

Me with my mate Dave in my 80
Tommo and Ecky in Tommos 90
Maybe Greg or Cal from Land Cruisers Overland in an LC?

Round trip UK, Romania, Ukraine, Poland and back to UK.

Highlights along the way:

Romania - Transalpina
Ukraine - Odessa, Chernobyl
Poland - Desert!!

Will be charging through Europe like France and Germany but not much there

Nice one - how long is the cruise planned to take?

 

[Paul]

Should be 9-19 April, it a quick one because of holiday etc and is a bit of a Recce Tour for future trips.
I worked in places like Ukraine and Russia for over 10 years so will be nice to see old pastures.

 

[Gav Peter]

Whoah, thats some distance in 10 days!!! Respect

 

[TonyP]

Paul will be looking forward to your trip report on this one. A few of us will be going through similar countries including Russia on motorbikes in July, so make detailed notes

In Romania you may want to contact Paul White who lives out there for a chunk of the year and has overlanders stay with him etc. He offers tours in the mountains and seems pretty flexible. I contacted him a while ago but haven't followed up yet http://www.trackranger.com/ . Here's some of the stuff they get up to http://www.trackranger.com/2009/10/land-rover.html . He did ask me if my 4wd was "up-to-it" as it wasn't greenlaning.
