Heat or cold weather mainly?
Ok here is the thing. With my husband we have differing views on the type of weather we are going to encounter in our next trip, and therefore what sort of gear we should pack. We will bring layers, but can we send back warm stuff from Almaty? Will we be mostly cold during this trip, or mostly very hot?
We both agree we want to travel VERY light.
We will leave the UK late April, cross France south toward Italy, Bosnia etc through Romania and southern Ukraine. Then, by early May we will hit a bit of Russia, Kazakhstan, south to Uzbekistan. By mid-May we will ride the Pamir Highway and explore further before getting into Kyrgyzstan. Then up to Almaty , and all north toward Russia. Then entry to Mongolia by closer border we can find. Cross Mongolia June/July.
From Ulaanbaatar we will then get round Lake Baikal, Irkutsk and probably train to Moscow.
Then ride across Baltic states back to the UK late August.
Anyone who has done this road at that season (late spring / summer): outside of Pamir, is it worth bringing/keeping very warm clothing? OR will it be very hot?
Thanks.
