I'm watching this thread with interest as I'm hoping to go to Samarkand this summer using either Iran, the Baku ferry or Russia, and ideally using 2 of those routes, so as not to retrace my steps.

Russia seems the least complicated at the moment.

Iran may still be an option and hoping that with an Irish passport I'll not need a guide.

Not getting a warm feeling about the ferry though

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
