Help! First trip: London to Beirut
OK guys,
I've changed my nickname, and here's the post again:
Hey guys,
This is my first post on the site! This board is absolutely filled with great information.
Anyways, I'm planning my first long trip for august this year, and plan to ride from London to Beirut.
I live in the UK but actually come from Lebanon.
My provisional route is ride is the following:
1- Ride from London to Dover
2- Take ferry to Calais
3- Ride from Calais to Bourg-en-Bresse in France and stay there overnight.
4- Ride from Bourg-en-Bresse to Bologna in Italy and stay there overnight.
5- Ride from Bologna to Bari
6- Take ferry to Patras in Greece
7- Ride to Pireaus in Greece
8- Take ferry to Turkey
9- Ride the south coast of Turkey to Syria
10- Ride from Syria to Lebanon
Do you guys have any tips regarding my route? I'm thinking it should take me around 7 to 8 days.
How hard do you think border crossing will be? Should I be extra precautions for the Turkey leg?
I know the trip sounds quite pre-planned, but I don't really want to take much risk on my first long trip!!
Btw, if any of you guys will be along my route in august, then drop me a note and we can meet up for a drink.
P.S: I will be on a 2000 Yamaha R6.
