Norfolk England 10th May 2013 Windspeed 35mph Temp: 6*C Hello all our loyal followers! We are back again in sunny England after 6 months back in OZ whilst Tin Can froze through the English winter in a hay shed somewhere in Bedfordshire. Tin Can’s wintering place- a hay shed! The plan is to do some touring around the UK and…
Since last year I’ve been researching the visa requirements. I thought I’d describe the requirements for the outward leg of my journey. Ground work The research pointed to doing it a number of ways. Get the visas before I left or on the road. As I have an ambitious plan to see as many countries as possible allied to a…
After 20 months of planning and preparing the trip the time has arrived to begin. The final weeks were hectic and stressful just getting to the start line. But I got there with a load of help from my support team, advisers, helpers and friends. It was truly a team effort to get me on my way. And I just…
The last two months! Getting stressed over the last things that need to be done, but also getting excited over almost leaving. We can see the finish line of the preparation stage and can start to look forward to setting off. I must say that I start to look forward to the leaving part more and more. Preparing for a…
In exactly ten weeks from today we will put Panda on a ship to Canada. 10 Days later we will hop on a plane to bring us there. In the mean time we will do our last preparations. Last weekend I prepared one big TO DO list so that we finally have everything in one list and can start crossing…
We are now in the last 13 weeks of preparations for our epic road trip. So much is happening every week that I will start writing weekly updates from now on. I got inspired by the blog of Aussie Overlanders, an Australian couple that has the same start date as us, mid February. They also post a weekly update, which…

Now that Panda is almost ready to test her wheels, it is time for us to decide which direction we want to steer her to. We have traveled a lot the past few years, but always with a backpack and public transport. For this trip we do not want to plan too far ahead because the idea is to take…
earthcircuit.org We were heading for the beach; we knew that much after weeks in Panama City. What we didn’t know was exactly where we were going – we’d already bent the back of the bus a few days before trying to find the sea down a rocky track. All along the coast, the easiest places to get too are resort/hotel…
We have covered a little over 2 500 km since leaving Cochrane and the last four days have been amazing…!! I am busy with a detailed post about today’s ride from Keystone in South Dakota, to Ainsworth in Nebraska…!! The Big Fella and I popped in to see Mount Rushmore… The hammer and chisel I was carrying was confiscated by…
Nossas metas nessa expedição são bem conhecidas: chegar a Barrow no Alasca e depois alcançar o final da Ruta 3, depois de Ushuaia, na Argentina. Mas o que muita gente esquece é que há 3 continentes e muitos países no meio desses dois destinos. Uma dúvida recorrente de nossos amigos e leitores é a rota que faremos nessa expedição. Por…
Aufmerksame Leser haben inzwischen bemerkt, dass unser ursprünglicher Plan für den amerikanischen Kontinent anders aussah, als das was wir jetzt tun. Das hat leider auch seine Gründe und die erklären wir hier… Vielleicht hilft das dem einen oder anderen, der ähnliches vor hat bei seinen Vorbereitungen. Hier ist uns in der Vorbereitung ein Planungsfehler unterlaufen. Ausschlaggebend für die…
PD, Santa Ana, El Salvador I’ve updated our map and simplified it, because it was a little bit rubbish and a huge bit frustrating to update. We now have one overall route map, and for any travellers who are interested there are separate country maps showing our camping spots. From now on I will endeavour to furnish those maps with…
The Peru into Bolivia Border Crossing at Yunguyo Written by Logan and Brianna Pribbeno More information at http://PanAmNotes.com We crossed from Peru into Bolivia at the Yunguyo border town on a Sunday afternoon. This is a relaxed border mainly used for travel to Copacabana. There is a one hour time change between the two countries. We arrived at the Peruvian…

Having drafted our ‘ideal route’ (roughly W. Europe – Scandinavia – E. Europe – Turkey – Iran – The ‘stans – Russia – Mongolia) we started to look more closely at a time plan. This led us to the realisation that we would be hitting Southern Siberia mid- winter and could expect to face temperatures of -15⁰C to -39⁰C. In…
Yes, I admit, it’s all very exciting. The ferry is leaving in 10 days and if it wasn’t at night time we would be standing on the deck, looking at the soggy Island disappearing behind. But it will be at night and so we’ll probably sit in the bar, toasting our very last pint before the road. 10 days left.…
30.07.2010 Visa – the endless story Have been to the Lebanese embassy today. Thought I’ll get the visa right away. Not a change, but will collect it tomorrow. 31.07.2010 Family dinner and admin stuff Just another Visa done: LebanonOne final Visa missing: Nepal (but that’s not mandatory as I should be able to get this at the border as well…
Morocco 16th July We take a day trip to Tangier, Morocco, crossing from Tarifa. North Africa’s coast is almost tangible, its vast mountains visible in the distance, from the town. The ferry taking only 45 minutes to cross from Europe to Africa! Once we boarded the boat we were asked to queue to have our passports stamped which took about…
FRANCE<br /> Normandy Bonjour mon amis! The overland adventure begins! (8th June 2010) We cross the channel, from Poole, England to Normandy, France. Two hours later, we are in Cherbourg and our first stop is the D-day beaches at Omaha and Utah for a dose of history. Standing on the hill overlooking the beaches, we can almost picture the assault…
