I've tried to add the *gdb File but the server said it was to big :eek:
I'll break it down later and try to do it again.

This is the trip I dream of doing and the reason I started riding DS bikes.

The reason I post it here is to seek some advice from all you well traveled guys.

All travel is done with the following taken into account:
1. Petrol stops arranged approx every 300km.
2. Stick to roads as close to the borders as posible.
3. Lots of gravel.
4.Visit as many of the WD's along the way.
5. Camp where possible.
