I think crossing a border is usually a case of hours rather than days, but there is a possibility of the visa itself taking several days, usually in a main city in the country before, we arrange the visa, and then return having explored the local area. Here is my explanation of the carnet...

We are using two Garmin Quest units, and as I said, Garmin are very good, but makes are every bit as good. Just make sure you get one with the ability to load new maps onto. Our GPS had a complete meltdown when we went into Germany (fixed shortly afterwards), I don't think it was quite ready for...

Unfortunately, I cannot confirm this right now, but Daniel has 'map source'. This gives him a basic map of the world, but it gets a bit thin on the details outside of Europe and US. Map Source does allow third party map makers to create their own maps for use on the Garmin, and while these are...

Sorry for not updating you all on the progress of the Lone Wolf Expedition. We haven't ground to a halt, and the expedition is currently in Luang Prabang, Laos. Dan's journals take a long time to write, and unfortunately, his laptop died (on which all the journals are written) at the beginning...

After a month on the road, and a few days off it, the team are in central Iran. Highlights so far have been going into the bear caves in Chiscau, travelling through Romania and seeing Vlad the Impaler's castle. Our first day in Istanbul, driving to Goreme through the salt lakes. The underground...

Count Draculas castle? Seriously though, go there! The lone wolf expedition went through there earlier this month, we've got loads of photos and journals of our time there. As for tracks/ routes, I'll have to ask Dan. See our journals here: Lone Wolf Transglobal Expedition Nick
