Agri, Turkey: October 1971
The Safaris Overland bus I was driving from India to London, seen here parked in the town of Agri, in north-eastern Turkey. Several hours beforehand we had driven into Turkey from Iran at the Bazargan border crossing. I'd been driving through snow, on and off, since we'd been in north-eastern Iran, near the Afghan frontier. I hadn't expected the snow to come so early; in fact, I'd hoped to be back in England several weeks before, considering we'd left London back in July for a trip that included diversions down to Athens, the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, and Srinagar in Kashmir. The Ford Transit mini-bus parked in front of the bus was operated by Frontier International, another British overland company.
