Where is the furthest you’ve taken your MoHo? (1 Viewer)

[Brains]

And this is my 2021 plan... would do this with Seabridge - trip of a lifetime I reckon - about 145 days in total - 71 days out to Beijing on the red route and roughly the same back through Mongolia

That is my idea of a trip !
I assume you have done the research, is there a English speaking operation that does anything similar ?
I speak fluent bar German, which gets me bier und wurst, but it's not good enough for more than a single sentance at a time

 

[HandyAndy]

Crete for me.
Chania > Athens ferry
Greece
Patra > Ancona ferry
Italy
France
UK..
and I was on deaths door with Pleurisy. went straight to hospital when I got back.
I have never coughed so much in my entire life.. I think my old man was glad I left

 

[mitzimad]

Ah, yes you are right - it is a quick turn around. Have been to Beijing before and there are many stops on the way including camping at the Great Wall etc,

It is around 27000km trip

200 km per day for 20 weeks would be my idea of hell

200 km per day for 20 weeks would be my idea of hell

And my idea of an adventure of a lifetime, although I would up the daily mileage

 

[Chris51]

Have looked around. Can’t see any other firm doing this kind of trip.
They do say they get a few non Germans in the tours and they don’t have a huge problem Also I have time to brush up on my schoolboy German and I am very good at shouting to be understood!?

Might be in the same party as a uk Motorhomer as in a letter in issue 224 of Practical Motorhome , signs as Mike Annan. Impressive succession of journeys in convoy, i don’t buy the mag as such but get it as package on Readly subscription , excellent value if you like mags.

For those contemplating longer trips there are inspirational photos under his name on Flickr.

we did Morocco 3 times in the mid 70’s which were adventures and wanted to do Asia next but unfortunately never did.

 

[MyrtleGuru]

Iceland.
Longest journey in distance, time and cost.

Yes, definitely cost Have been to the Faroes and Iceland on previous occasions (without the van) and looked at taking the van there and almost needed resuscitation when I saw how much it would cost.

Suffolk but I have been hundreds of times, does this count as the furthest.

Well Lowestoft is the furthest east in the UK, so extreme in that sense

 

[Cyclewalkbob]

Sicily, and Palermo was quite interesting to drive in, along with the long viaduct motorways the Sirocco winds and a HGV who was blown of the edge of one of the Viaduct motorways. His cab was halfway over the side of the motorway about 80 mtrs high, it was only his load that stopped him dropping.
Were we worried - nah, we were VERY worried!

Narva on the Estonia / Russia border last year seemed like a long way and it is a dump.( Russia across the river)


This year Mhamid in Morocco. 2333 miles according to Google. It is also a dump but a dump we really liked

 

[pseward152]

Just to be boring we've been to Italy in the van.

Getting insurance for medical condition is starting to get

 

[mojo]

Shame there are no English speaking tours that replicate the many interesting tours that Seabridge offer only in German.
China and back for 165 days @ £70 per person per day approximately.

I’m sure Lewis is a very nice chap though!

Wait til Harris finds out!!!

Scotland.....

........from Poland.

Almost the other way round - Ammanford (Wales) to Poland

 

[Themselves]

Scotland.....

........from Poland.

Back in 2009 we met a Lad from Poland at the border of Scotland and England. He was on a bicycle having pedalled his way from Poland to London and then Lands End and was heading off towards John oGroats. He had enormous homemade plywood panniers on the back of the bike with about 20 kilo of tins of rice pudding to keep himself going.

So, I read recently that NZ had banned the importation of used motorhomes and only brand new vehicles would be allowed in so I guess you must have just snuck in before that became the rule

I haven't heard about that and would be curious to know more. I have recently been made aware that anyone importing a motorhome into NZ from the UK and Europe must spend several thousand pounds having it fumigated before it's put on the ship. This is to keep the "stink bug" out of NZ, but you don't actually have this nasty little insect in the UK.

If you take a look on the Seabridge website you will see more info there

We've only done two shakedown trips so far in the MH but on the visit last week to the Plassey near Wrexham we saw a MH with Chinese plates....

Unst, apparently the most northerly inhabited island in the UK. Stunningly beautiful, as most of Shetland and Orkney are!

We thought we were adventurous heading down to Portugal one year, whilst waiting for the ferry we got chatting to a couple who told us about their travels. They had taken their van down the silk route to China and back then after that put it on a RO RO ferry and went down to Argentina and done all the countries down there Bolivia, Peru etc They pointed out a website I think it was the Silk Route Club that listed all their travels.

 

[seakay22]

Istanbul and then a little further into the Asian side to watch the Turkish Grand Prix, 2010. And that was in a VW t25, there and back without a single break down, a 42 night trip in total. UK down to Ancona, ferry to Patras (camping on deck), Delphi, up the coast to Thessolonikki, Alexandroupli then overnighting for a few days by the lighthouse on Kennedy Highway by the Bosphorus. Had a night at Sile on the Black Sea too. Got a new van coming next year, a PVC, maybe I'll do it again ?

 

[Glandwr]

Zagora the last large town before the Sahara in Maroc, we went 75km further south following the old tin sign that said "50 days by camel to Timbutoo" in French then the wife made be turn back

In the other direction Irapetra on Crete the southernmost town in the EU

Karesuando Sweden, what a great trip all the way up through France, Belgium. Holland, Germany, Denmark and E45 Sweden and back via Baltic coast and Denmark Germany & France. 13 weeks in total, looking forward to returning.???

 

[wanderer]

Well if they can come to us, then I guess we can go to them !

Looks like this is the route between China and Europe.
It's around 13,000 km drive so about 4-5 month drive if you stop and look at stuff.
Start now and it's Shanghai for Easter !

We have done this exact route , a couple of problems are the Caspian Sea Baku to Turkmenbashi I am not sure there are dedicated ferries we had to blag our way onto a commercial ship (the accommodation was so bad I now think Brittany is 5 star) . I also think you must have a government appointed agent in Turkmenistan ,Georgia , Kyrgyzstan . The burning gas craters in Turkmenistan at night were fantastic , they caught fire in the 70,s and they cant put them out . There were no campsites after Goreme it’s either wild camping or cheap hotels/guest houses
