So me and a friend are planning on an expedition to Mongolia in summer 2015, he is a medical student and has to do 6 weeks working abroad as part of his course, and so we decided to make it a full experience by driving there
We're just starting the planning process and plan on a southern route, through europe, turkey, iran, the stans, china and into mongolia, around 10,000 miles there
We were inspired by the mongolia rally, but due to the extra cost we are choosing not to take part in the official rally. I of course plan to use a landy, but we might go with the rally sprirt and use a cheap (crap) car, drive it there and then leave it there, donatong it to charity. If a landy, ill drive it back of course while he's doing his elective.
So weve got plenty of time to plan and get things sorted and save up some money
My current thoughts of vehicle are either my RRC back home, stick a diesel engine in it as its currently engineless. Or buy a 110 or 130 but ill look into this. a 110 or 130 may be best but means extra cost, and tbh itll probably cost quite alot to do anyway, whereas I already have the RRC so that saves abit
Current musts are long range tank, fridge, some kind of tent(probably roof) and the rest.
I will most probably sort the vehicle and my mate will sort visas, paperwork etc but we'll of course help each other out.
Anyway, any advice on route, visas, passage etc is more than welcome but im looking forward to it already
