Hi All, I'm heading back to Kyrgyzstan in August/September this year, starting in Georgia and going via Russia and Kazakhstan. My question is regarding a section in Kazakhstan. From the Russian border at Astrakhan I need to head for Bishkek. I can either go all the way north to Aktobe and then head south again on the M32, or go as far as Kandyagash and then head south towards Shalkar. Has anyone done this route from Atyrau to Shalkar via Kandyagash? I'm mostly interested in the availability of petrol along this route. We will have a range of about 400km. Any thoughts on this route would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Hareti
