Thats awful!! isnt the UK embassy doing anything about it??!?!?
Yes the reason i was looking at tours first is mainly due to security.
The route would mainly follow the trans africa route going egypt, sudan, ethiopia, kenya, tanzania, malawi, mozambique, zimbabwe, botswana, nambia, south africa and my partner grew up in cape so he know where to avoid there.
I definately want to keep away from somalia and the kenyan coastline.
Though we may have just recruited our local backstreet mechanic, who is a big hungarian guy, which would help in 2 aspects.
Just read about the problem of the front wheels snapping off on pre 2003 bmw f650s. hmmm, pushing me towards the XT 600 but how safe is it to drive with a jerrycan of fuel on the back?
