Volrider,

What on earth gave you that idea? Only a madman would attempt such a journey in one of these things.
Especially at this time of year.

What is needed is a good all round appreciation of the worlds current affairs, choose the route carefully, study the weather systems likely to be encountered for the timing of the journey and finally, quietly but with a little promotion go out and do it.

Keeping the distance to physically fly to a minimum would be a good option, which would mean flying as close to the 60 N as possible. This would eleviate a lot of the political events around the world affecting the aim.

In addition, keeping the countries airspace you need to penetrate to a minimum, will lessen the possibility of one country scuppering the whole event.

Besides, I have a consultants appointment to attend shortly.
I hope he finds something !!
