British adventurers Tom Allen and Leon McCarron set out to follow Irans longest river the Karun by human powered means Their aim is to go beyond the politics and explore the culture and geography of this most misunderstood of nations and have a great adventure doing so But despite Toms previous experience of travel in Iran they find that cultural differences run deeper than theyd realised And when the oncecalm waters of the Karun turn nasty they wonder if theyve bitten off more than they can chew
