(Very) Slow Bike To China
Started riding from Britain (home) in winter of 2013, aiming to get to China overland..
Down through Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Italy, Greece & Turkey.
Couldn't pass though Iran with UK passport :-( so took a flight to Kenya for a month.
After 18 months & passing through Uganda, Tanzania & Malawi, I flew to India & rode round there for 7 months.
Then up in to Nepal for 3 months before returning to Delhi & flying to Bangkok.
Now (November 2017) riding south to Penang, Malaysia before heading back up into northern Thailand by train.
Generally stay a month or 2 (or 6 ?!?) in each country then ride on to the next.
Not a hardcore cyclist, been known to dawdle, take a train, coach or ferry & get lost from time to time - no GPS, rely instead on TTS (Talking To Strangers).
