We set the alarm for 6am and packed up and left. The walk started round the mountain on a lovely path that passed through a brilliantly built wooden yayla (high mountain villages where locals take their cows only during the summer).
We saw some bear poo filled with cherry stones on the path in the forest which was quite exciting so we are keeping our eyes peeled for bears.
Then a long zigzagging track began up the river to the next Yayla.
As we were approaching it, three small boys, who later introduced themselves as Ahmet, Osman and Husain came charging up to us to greet us. Though when they got near they got a bit shy and hid behind a rock before slowly edging nearer.
We got our photo taken with them which they were very pleased with.
We have been told that pretty much no tourists walk this route so I don't think they see many.
We continued just past the yayla and stopped by the river for lunch before heading up the pass to a tarn with another incredible camping spot.
I got heat stroke as we were walking up so when we got to the tarn I just collapsed on the ground and fell asleep!
We found this fridge plugged into a tree on the walk up to the yayla. It appeared to be a bit of a joke or 'modern art' but a useful cupboard!
