Dear Barry,

Looks like a fantastic journey, and 3000km in nine days seems reasonable enough. I note that you crated by truck rather than doing the roll-on/roll-off by train. Would be great to hear details about how this worked, who made the crate and with what, and whether you'll try to stow the original crate for the return journey. And how does the cost stack up with train transport. Finally, if the crate does arrive upside down, some of us will want to know about that too -- with pix!

Ride safe!
