Looks like caravan got into Russia without problem. Hope plans are going well G. Just checked out your website - only 6 months to go!!!

Griff, Thought you might be interested to know that www.mikeandcarolgoest.blogspot.com are leaving for Ukraine, Russia and Mongolia using a TAB caravan this Sunday. Not all the info on their website is accurate especially valid UK tax for Mongolia - not needed so not sure where they got that...

G - Landy not sold afterall. We're off to Oz Jan 2012 for a flying visit. Then planning our next overland trip out there - back to work and saving hard again meantime. Which way round this time? Decisions, decisions Hope your plans are going well.

Should add that it's 1998 300 / 2.5 TDi model and there's currently just under 100K on the clock but we may just go past this while completing our trip.

Greetings from Flores! (near the land of the Komodo Dragons). Looks like we have to consider selling our vehicle LR Defender 110 CSW - Foley's specialist fitted. All details re: mods can be found here Overland With Kids | » Land Rover Vehicle Preparation Extra heavy duty suspension (as most of...

Hi T2Man, all good this end thanks & feeling fine. Talking reports - we just posted one by our 10-year old - Palin the younger. Thought Griff might like to see too - re: volcano climb - know he's into rocks and stuff. All the best Cassie

Just to clarify, our diesel only costs are £3,326 (10.5%of total spend) i.e. £10.87 per day / 11.6p per mile or 07.2p per km for all 4 of us. The other cost is if we were to include everything we have spent and then give a cost per mile. Cassie

Have posted 10 month costs of our trip from UK to Malaysia. Thought it might be useful since last update. Bit of an increase in our cost per mile (inclusive of everything i.e. food, visas, accommodation etc.). Currently we are running at 1.10p per mile/0.69p per km for all four of us. Think we...

Bevhelee, Have just PMd you. Cassie.

Have posted costs re: China (maybe useful to compare for those considering shipping as an alternative) - page down to second half of the following link. Overland With Kids | » Mud ‘n’ Tow to Laos plus China Report & Costs All the best Cassie

Cool! Much obliged. Many thanks. Cassie

Thanks Sirus. Assume a 'no, no' to DIYin this case. But if stuck (in China), is there any guideline available? Will try local garage meantime.

Should have added - LR Defender 110 CSW with BFG AT tyres.

Our tyre tracking is out. Can anyone help us with the measurements so we can re-align. For example, if we are looking at both the front tyres only - what should be the difference in millimetres front to back of each (front) tyre. And measurement in distance from the inside of one tyre to the...

Greetings to everyone from China! - Hello! - Hi! - NI HAO! (Bevhelee and ourselves together safely yesterday). Two Land Rovers, 4 adults, 3 children transiting together over 26 nights to Laos. So far we are finding costs very cheap - lovely food, good accommodation. Big huge meal today for...
