Planning UAE-Iran-Turkey-UK .........in December ?
Hello all,
Earlier this year i was beginning to plan the journey outlined in the title of this thread.
At that time, i was due to complete a contract in the UAE at the end of July. This has now been extended a number of times and will almost certainly now finish in early December, which i imagine is not the greatest time to ride a sports bike back through Northern Iran, through the Turkish mountains and on into Eastern Europe.
Europe i know about, but what of the driving conditions in Northern Iran and on up through Turkey ?
I was looking at the Tehran-Tabriz-Bazargan-E80 to Istanbul and on to Sofia,etc, route, but i'm sort of assuming that the roads in eastern Turkey and northern Iran will not be too good, but does anyone know if the main roads that i intend to stay on, are usually ok ?
I've tried looking at the history of weather conditions in the area through this website Weather Forecast & Reports - Long Range & Local | Wunderground : Weather Underground which is a mine of information, but it only really covers main towns and cities.
Anyway, if anyone has experience of the route during winter, i would be interested to hear of them and perhaps someone living in the area might have some thoughts.
Thanks in advance.
