After a year planning this trip only 5 weeks to go. This is my big trip as part of my end of work "gap year". Tent and Sleeping bag on order, most other things sorted. Waiting for passport to be returned from Azerbaijan Consulate then only 2 Visas to go. As this is my first blog you will have to bear with me while I get things sorted. When we have left I aim to post a blog once a week, but much depends on internet availability.
