Cape Town to London February 2025

Hi all.

I am planning a trip from Cape Town to London in February 2025.  I'll ship my bike down to Cape Town from London, and then ride it home via the Western Route.  Planning is going although getting visas before I go is proving logistacally difficult - can only start to apply 6 months before you get to the country, althopugh I dont have any firm dates of when I get there.  Any advice gratefully received on visas, or anything else!

Also if anyone is going to be travelling that route at that time, please do let me know.  Be good to meet up.   

I'll post updates as and when.
