Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran????

Don,t forget Syria & Israel. Israel is ok but don,t know about driving thru Syria
 
Been thinking about this and I reckon ideally you need to find another couple with your adventurous spirit (maybe on this forum?). Two vans are better than one. You’ve got support and help when,or if, you need it. When we went to Morocco we found a lovely couple from this forum who travelled with us and whilst Morocco isn’t Azerbaijan or Iran it was still a bit scary for us (We’d only had our van for 6 months) but knowing we could help each other out when needed was reassuring. We laughed when they got fined for failure to stop at a STOP sign. They laughed when we got pulled over for speeding. Daft stuff but it made the adventure so much fun and we’re still good friends with them now.

I’m beginning to wish we hadn’t sold our van.

Agree that a loose convoy would be good. Don’t know if you followed the blog of the Grey Gappers? They are thinking about doing it, in fact suggested the additional countries after Turkey. They’re just trying to put their working lives in some order so they can travel.
It’s not too late to buy a new van!
Anyone else?
 
Hi Catherine. Someone from another forum was asking me about going to Turkey. Have you found any problems with going there? I'm not brave enough to go to Armenia and Georgia. Meg

The Aged P’s have been to both Armenia and Georgia. On independent trips. Said both countries are lovely and definitely worth visiting. Both Consuls so far have confirmed that pet passport are fine for the dogs and we don’t need visas. Insurance on border. Lots of POI on the P4N app. Go on ... come with us! If your friend would like to join us, pass them my mob number. Probably start in Turkey around January/ February... but need to sort timings out as Spring is best for EVERYWHERE.

Just a cautionary note. Turkey is an increasingly fundamental Islamic country so attitudes to females is not to western standards When travelling through in 2014 in some places my wife felt distinctly uneasy when walking alone in spite of being modestly dressed. This is especially true in the less touristy and remote areas.

Thanks. Have hubby and two dogs and know to be sensible and sensitive.
 
I've not been around for the past few days due to Camper Jam and starting a new job, but wanted to share another great travel Vlog, the charismatic and multilingual "Bald and Bankrupt", currently travelling through Georgia. He doesn't travel by MH but explores off the beaten track and meets the locals, one of the best channels on Youtube IMHO.

Easy to get round the LHD requirement, drive round in reverse.
No one would notice.
 
Unless things have changed, you need a carnet to cover your vehicle entry into Iran, and British citizens must employ a minder to accompany them
