Boy I work with goes over to poland a fair bit, and when he said he was going across the polish border into Ukraine for a day trip, the polish folk he had befriended nearly had a heart attack.  They told him it was not safe at all.  This was couple of years ago so not sure what it would be like now.

Would recommend a bit of planning lads.  Calais to Donetsk approx 1,800 miles

Had a similar reaction when travelling around Romania a few years ago when we asked a few people about going over the border into Ukraine just for half a day. They thought we were mad! Really hope we get put in Poland, not too worried about who we get (England of course would be fun).

From what I can see it seems if you don't look like a foreigner, don't walk anywhere, especially at night and carry only a small amount of local currency (enough to bribe the police if necessary) you'll be grand in Ukraine.

Oh, and watch out for the wallet scam.

Heard about this wallet scam.  The would be tief swaps your finest leather wallet with 100 euro in it for a cheaper version with only 20 Euro in it.

Exactly. The same was said when I was going to mexico from california a few times, heard all these stories and it was grand. Take about two weeks to drive a camper across, I did route 66 before and thats what it took.Group A with england and we're laughing!
