Hello,
Is anyone planning to be crossing Turkey and or Iran during July?
Am crossing Europe now and will reach Turkey in a couple of weeks.
One thing....Batty is not the fastest 2 wheeled beast, and is happiest at around 40mph....see vegibike.com

All best

I think Batty will need a check-up in İstanbul..So we are making ready:tools for her and welcome drinks for you at our club garage.
Best Wishes

Hey Harry,

If you need help or a place to stay in Ankara, send me a pm.

Cheers,
Ozgur

Hi Harry.
if u have a short break at Istanbul come to the heart of the city called Sultanahmet (BLUE MOSQUE) and ask for Angel's Home Hotel which is only few steps away blue mosque.There, u may see some european/turkish bikers travelling on the same rote with u or also some bikers have a short break in istanbul as u :)

I want to leave the Netherlands the 20ste Juni. The plan is to be in Turkey 3 weeks later. From Turkey i go by ship, ferry to Russia.

Maybe can we meet another?

I am currently in India, crossing over to Pakistan in about 2 weeks. Then continue to Iran, Turkey etc.
Would be good to meet up for a beer somewhere.

Cheers,
Frank

Hi Frank, just in Gelibolu now and heading east via Goreme, Erzurum and Van...should be nearing Iranian border around first week of July, with 2 weeks to get to Bander in the south. if this is anywhere near you, send me a private note and we can exchange numbers etc.

Good luck if we don't meet this time.

How did you get on going through Pakistan and Iran? I was hoping to go through from India in a few months time but the visa for Iran seems to be a problem. Is there any way to get through and into Turkey?
Many thanks
Alex

Iran and Pakistan
 

Hi Alex,
In fact I did not manage to get through Pakistan from Iran. Iran was grt, but have heard that UK has cut diplomatic ties now.
One Guy I heard took a boat from Turkey to Russia, then across the Caspian to the Stans, and then into China , before dropping into the top of Pakistan.

So maybe you could do that in reverse?

Have fun

Harry

Am in Chiang Mai for HUBB meeting...are you here?
