Here is the plan!
We head north from Bangkok in Thailand crossing through Loas up to the Chinese border. Heading north in China till we turn left to travel around the Taklanman desert to Kasghar in western China before crossing in to the Stan’s.
We enter Kyrgyzstan for one day before crossing Tajikistan on the Parmir highway and the Wakhan Corridor along the Northern Afghanistan border then off across Uzbekistan and Kazakstan into Russia.
Early plans had us crossing the Ukraine but this was all changed; and now we are going to stay in Russia and across Belarus into Poland to head north through Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia to re-enter Russia to visit St Petersburg before crossing into Finland to finish in Helsinki.
This should all take 60 days!
Once we arrive in Helsinki I’ll decide where to from there. If Penny is still going very well and I feel she’ll make the trip to the UK, I’m heading off from Helsinki with Reg and Mitchell Toohey and their car, back to the UK to put Penny away in a friends barn till our next adventure!!!

Nordkapp from Helsinki is around the corner and it is quite surreal looking North towards the North Pole at the end of Europe – and the roads South through are phenomenal!!
Just a thought…

Sounds like a fantastic journey. Let’s hope that Russia does not present any difficulties besides the usual ones inherent in such a journey.
