Gray Railway Journeys of the World - part two

---

Hi!

And we're back - not entirely as expected, but with a new name, and some more ideas...

We're now contemplating the Silk Road for the next in the Gray Railway Journeys series. As to how we approach it, that's a different matter - currently it's a similar approach to the trans-siberian.
When do we want to go?
Which places are critical?
Is the route even viable?

in answer to those questions:

1) slightly later thatn the Trans-Siberian - we think - weather to be further investigated! most likely late spring
2) Samarkand seems to be the most critical - so far....
3) the route is viable, but at this point a little variable....further investigations required here too! and not via Iran currently - although my personal preference would be, given time, to take in locations like that.

So....sometimes next year it looks like we'll be on stage two - I'll keep you up to date of course!

Dave
