Kinvig is off Round The World on a BMW Dakar from 1st April..!
 

Well guys,

I've gained the 3 visas I that I wanted for my Round the World trip:

Mongolia,
Kazakhstan (double-entry *snigger*)
Russia (multi-entry!!!!)

I'll be getting visas for Uzbek & Kyrgistan later on this month.

I have a web site that will include a blog (when I've got inter-web access) and a Google-map based "Where's Dirk" page that will give my position (again inter-web access provided). There's a message board that the Hairy Bikers have left a message on. You can too. A pretty well known Round-The-World BMW celeb has agreed to do a foreword for my site in March (if his schedule permits).

My website is: http://www.DirkonaDakar.co.uk

I set off on 1st April from Clapham, London. Please come to see me off!

There will be drinks & a bbq on 29th March in Clapham. Please come and get food poisoning, 10 Park Hill:

I hand in my notice today at work - or at least I would if my boss would get back from the pub!

Kind regards


Dirk

the only "slight" niggle is that the mongolians misspelt my name on the visa.....
