Hey all,
Just bought a minsk off Mr. Cuong in Hanoi. Will be setting off in the next few days for a northern loop and then return to Hanoi before attempting the Na Meo crossing.
For anybody interested we will be traveling to Lang Son, Cao Bang and possibly Ba Be before heading up to Bao Lac. From there we will spend some time in the north around Meo Vac, Dong Van and Yen Minh and then descend to Ha Giang and Bac Ha. Finally we will end in Lao Cai and hop the train back to Hanoi. My visa ends on the 5th of Dec so I'd like to be back by the 2nd and this may cut some of our visits out (Ba Be?). Mr Cuong has generously offered to check over the bike before we then head on to the Na Meo/ Laos crossing..
Anybody have any tips or contacts we should hit up along the way? Should I update this topic as I go along? Not sure if anybody is interested but I've got great info from this site before and would love to contribute if anybody has questions...
Thanks!
Chris
