Sommerens tur kan gjøre på de fleste sykler som er beregnet for off road. Transalp, Varadero, Vstrom, U name it :-) Gjerne også en GS 1200. Det som er viktig er at man kjenner begrensningene til utstyret sitt. En tung sykkel er, vel tung. Den er tung å reise opp når man har veltet, og velte vil man....

Men, jeg har jo stort sett holdt meg på landjorda ... her er det jo muligheter for en del vading ... da bør vel kanskje også ha ett skift med kjøreklær/støvler? Ja, det er definitivt noen detaljer å tenke på :scratch Ta bare med ett sett med kjøreklær og støvler. Du vil bli våt og du vil være våt i...

Har du noen formening om hvor mye sånn ca en sånn tur vil koste? :D Turen blir på 5-6.000 km. Du trenger bensin. Kan du bo i telt? Du legger lista selv når det kommer til utgifter. La oss si en halvliter på mila. Det blir 300 liter à kr. 14 i snitt. Mellom 4 og 5.000 i bensin. Litt mat. Burde vel k...

Ta en titt på denne. Vi elsker det vi gjør, men vi er sårbare. Gjør det DU kan for at dette blir din beste sesong Uten skader og uten uhell!

Jeg har et par med Alpinestar Scout støvler. Disse er helt vanntette og veldig behagelige å ha på. Ulempen med dem er at når de først blir våte tar det vinter og vår å tørke dem igjen. Jeg brukte disse på Kolaturen i 2011. Der krysset vi en del elver og støvlene ble kliss våte. Etter en uke blir det...

Flotte bilder og inspirerende reiseskildring, også for oss som ikke er "hardcore adventure" :thumleft Hva er forresten totalbudsjettet for en sånn tur? Det er litt vanskelig å si hvor mye penger som går med. Det å reise i Russland er billig. Vi brukte vel noe rundt 21.000 i måneden. Det i...

We did spend five days in Magadan. Through Adrian, which we met in Yakutsk, we got in contact with Olga Izotova. She runs an adventure company specializing in hunting and fishing trips and trips to the Gulags amongst other things. She also coordinated a lot of stuff for the BBC when they did some st...

This is our complete route :evil http://i740.photobucket.com/albums/xx46/EtronX/Trans%20Sibir%20eXpedition%202012/5%20Trans%20Sibir%20Tomtor%20to%20Magadan/TransSibirTomtortoMagadan69_zps89fd5812.jpg Then some statistics from my sometimes meandering mind :deal We left Norway on the 1st of July. We c...

As we left Yakutsk Walter came to me. He gave me three of the Gold Road of Bones patches he has designed and made up. This is the proof that we have done the Road of Bones via the Old Summer Road. When, and if, we made to Magadan I was to give one each to Erik and Steve. If we didn't make it I had t...

After a good nights sleep in Susuman, for the last time on this great adventure, we saddled up the bikes. Our next and last goal was Magadan. Some 730 kilometers from Susuman. It was a strange day. The weather started out nice. Just some minor adjustments was needed on the luggage :D http://i740.pho...

The Russian gas stations in the boonies are not quite what we are used to in our neck of the woods :evil In Russia you park your bike by the pumps and the you go to the cashier, who usually sits behind solid glass. Then you state the amount of cash you want fill for, or the liters you want, and put ...

After the Arkagala River we were now cruising :evil First stop was the vacated town of Kadykchan. An old coal mining town. Kadykchan, in translation from the Even language, means “The Valley of Death”. The reason for this name are the underground lakes in the valley. Sometimes they erupt to the surf...

We left our host after a short hour. Warm and feeling good. It was about 60 k's to the river and we were following another river it most of the way. The roads were good and the rain had stopped. We came to the river and there was a pretty long bridge there. From our side it looked OK. Maybe not good...

That day we rode for 12 hours. Due to a late start we were in our tents just after midnight. We wanted to reach the Hunters Camp marked on Walters waypoints, but it got dark and we decided to call it a day. It had been the most magnificent day. The scenery was stunning. We crossed lots of rivers and...

You might expect that when you travel through the wilderness of the Sakha Republic you would meet lots of wild animals. The area is vast. Yakutia is the largest subnational governing body, by area, in the world. Just slightly smaller than India. If Yakutia was a country it would be the eight largest...
