As long as you have minimum 200 miles you 'should' be ok, I'm saying 'should' since lets say we cover 100 miles of a 160 mile route only to find the way shut for some reason ... you still need to get back

Of course you could always get a 5l container for that bit extra if needed :beerjug:

What level of ability would you need for this, guys?
Would a GSA with lardy boy pilot and limited off road experience be up for the task ?

Oh, and where do you ship the bikes from?
They're starting direct flights from Aberdeen to Iceland next year and I really fancy a bike trip there.
If not up for the whole rufty tufty off roading, perhaps I could partake of the shipping?

Most of the gravel roads aren't particularly technical at all, the more difficult parts tend to be river crossings which require some confidence although there are many unsealed roads which are quite simple to ride.
In your shoes if I fancied it and had little relevant experience, I'd consider using the months ahead to become more comfortable.

The bikes ship out of Immingham.
Mark's sorting the logistics so don't wish to speak out of turn but there's always scope for some to bail out of any sections they're not happy with and ride round.

Hi Mark,

Emailed you regarding shipping dates from Immingham, not sure if you got it as I'm away at the moment with intermittent wi-fi. If you get a chance could you let me know outbound and inbound dates to get the bike to and from Immingham?

Thanks and hope to confirm ASAP
