Matts Charity Rally to Mongolia (via China) Thread

[matt splat]

Pretty it isnt, strong it is!!

[matt splat]

Quick update…..

I now have my visa’s for….Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan Krygyzstan and Mongolia.

I just need to get my Kazakhstan, Russian and Chineese visa’s and thats the beaurocracy out of the way!

[imperialdata]

Bet you’re glad those are sorted.

So what are you taking along for border police bribes then?

[matt splat]

Lots of shiny things mate…..

Silver pens, little keyring LED lights etc.

Border guards are like magpies, anything silver or shiny will do!

wish i was coming with you mate

[Radar]

I wish that I had the time, the money and bottle to do this too. I hoe to see Matt off. Myself and ID are toying with the idea of riding with him from London to the coast or something. Not sure if we are allowed. Hell of a good cause, deserves our support.

You are most certainly welcome gentlemen []

My local school has got the kids involved with my journey, kids helping poor kids, it warms your cockles.

Thats my daughter on the other side, as proud as punch.

Good stuff Matt, restores your faith in human nature

Ive been BIG sick for 2 weeks now, everybody thought i was sensitivity to my vaccinations.

Back from the hospital for x-rays.

Ive got pneumonia with 2 weeks to go……Bugger!

[imperialdata]

If you want me to step in for you……

Actually, only kidding, I have a dentist apointment that week.

It’s a shocker the pneumonia thing, how long is that likely to last?

[Radar]

Blimey Matt that is bad news, will this mean you can’t do the trip??

[matt splat]

Nothing will stop me making the trip mate.

Im just sleeping a lot at the moment, still have pain in my lungs after 10 days of anti biotics. I feel like Ive been ten rounds with Tyson.

Its not the best start to the rally, but it is what it is.

[Radar]

Jeez, you have more determination than I! My hat is doffed in respect!!

What roads will you ride from London to Dover? I am still hoping to join you riding from London to the coast if the weather is OK. (I am a real grade 1 whimp)

[matt splat]

I am riding from Islington to M2 to M20 past ashford to folkestone. About 80 miles, a nice blast if the weather is good.

A horrible ride if it isnt!
