On this page I will be sharing with you some of the mountain routes I've been planning to tour. For the purposes of this set of tours I am excluding all mountains in the UK. I have however, incuded other areas outside of 'mainstream Europe' enabling me to add tours of the beautiful and fascinating regions of the Caucasus mountain range, including the Transcaucasus Trail through Georgia and Armenia, which add touring areas which many people wouldn't otherwise think of visiting. I have not (currently) included Turkey which could be considered as a seperate entity as almost the whole country is covered in mountains. More information about the mountains in Turkey may be found at URL: List of mountains in Turkey - Wikipedia |
