The Silk Route
On 1st August 2007, Nick and Rebecca Foulerton will set off on a six month, 14,000 mile motorcycle journey, following the Silk Road across Europe and Asia. The route will take us through Europe to Venice, through the Balkans, across Greece and along the Black Sea coast of Turkey, into the Caucuses. After crossing the Caspian Sea we will visit the great trading cities of Central Asia and cross the Pamirs into Xingjian Provence, China. From Kashgar we ride across the roof of the world to Lhasa, before dropping down into the Indian sub-continent.Locations
