I have some holiday i have to use up by the end of march, and was thinking just ride until i run out of country, or see how far i manage to get in 7 days. does anyone want to come with, or have any good routes or suggestions of hostels or b&bs?
7 days should get you to north africa matey 
I used to get to Baku on the Caspion sea in 8;) and that was in a truck:w00t:
