Five Quick Questions
If I could only give one piece of advice...
Watch your weight - less is best. You can find your everyday needs in most places.
The most essential thing I took with me
A sense of humour and our little box of Hamleys magic tricks!
The most useless thing I took with me (non-human)
Our highlift jack and a second spare tyre.
Most ingenious self repair of the trip
Never needed. But we have been told by truckers that a big, well chewed lump of chewing gum will seal a leaking diesel tank perfectly! (That's a Nessie top tip.)
Would I recommend it?
Personally we prefer the taste of wrigleys gum.

Iran, India, Asia, China and Russia (2006 until 2008)by nessie
Our trip was in a Landrover 110 300 Tdi with a roof tent. We drove from the UK to India via Albania, Turkey, Iran etc then we shipped to Asia and left through China and Russia. A superb trip with many great experiences.
One thing we would advice is to have the facility to sleep inside for dodgy areas or bad weather situations - fortunately this trip had very few bad weather days.
We only sold our Landy because we wanted to spend many years travelling this way and, for us, a landy was not a sensible longterm living vehicle.
