The Route - Stage 5

The final stage of Parallel World starts in Santiago de Chile, goes south to Tierra del Fuego and then heads north, maybe through Paraguay and Uraguay, possibly over the Andes and Chile, ("I might pop into Bolivia"), Peru, Equador and Columbia. Once Central America is crossed the journey continues to North America and Proudhoe Bay, the northernmost point of the Americas. Nick then heads down through the Southern States of America before climbing north-east to end Stage 5 in New York City. All that remains is the final loop to North Cape and then back to London.

Weather Conditions
In the deep south, at latitude 55, Tierra del Fuego is entering her winter
and there will be snow on the road. The R1 is not well suited to such conditions so we're looking at possibly having a set of wheels made to facilitate off-road tyres which would be flown out to Nick. It is semi-tropical in the central Americas and will be hot summers in the north,.

Concerns
"I don't have any on this part of the trip as I've done it before. Colombia is much safer and Central America has been calm for more than 10 years. Any troubles in southern Mexico seem to be less than they were, so my only focus is staying upright in the snow."
