Russia/middle east/other unusual destinations

deanb · 14 June 2015 17:53

Whilst some of these topics about Russia,The middle east and other far flung places have already
been posted on here over the years,they are all over the place. Therefore i thought it might be
a good idea to put all the diaries,trip reports,articles in one place making them easy to find !

Please feel free to add any far away unusual topics you have.

Some of these are from very old magazines so bear that in mind.

PLEASE CLICK ON EACH PAGE TO READ AS FOCUS BECOMES CLEARER !

There are some that i do not think have been posted before so will begin with one that is from 1977.

Thanks for taking the time to scan and post all these separate pages Dean. I have just finished the Kepstowe report, good stuff. I believe T/N`s very own Harry Monk was driving for them at that time!
