Any Af Kule walks in September?

Are you planning any walks to Af Kule KKOB? I've wanted to do it for a while now, but never been around when you've organised them in the past, & I'm nervous of doing the walk on my own in case I had an accident.

When do you fancy doing one ?

Any day in the next couple of weeks would be good if we set-off around 5pm.

Anyone else up for it ?

I'm not out for a couple of weeks yet & wouldn't be able to go before 9th. Hopefully not coming home until the last weekend of Sept

OK. I'll check what I've got to do in the next few days and then I'll fix a date for one while you're out here.

Me and my wife would be up for it. Any chance of some more details as I am not the fittest person in the world but I am able to do a couple of hours of walking.

There's a description of the walk in The Fethiye Times

http://www.fethiyetimes.org.uk/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=viewid=159itemid=84

The walk down from the top of the cliff is very steep and, subsequently, the walk back up is pretty hard work even for an old mountain goat like me. :D ;):D

How about Monday the 21st September ?

In order to get the best lighting conditions for those wishing to take photographs, we'll be meeting at the Af Kule turning on the road from Kaya Koyu to Gemiler Beach at 5.00pm. For those of you that are not familiar with this road, the turning is about 200 metres past the large "Sea Eagle" on the right-hand side of the road. Details of the walk are in the Outdoor section of The Fethiye Times, at http://www.fethiyetimes.com/ but we'll be cutting out the initial walk along the road.

You can copy and paste 36°34'29.67"N, 29° 3'15.71"E into the "Fly To" field of Google Earth for exact location of the meeting point.

All the dolmuses from Fethiye / Ovacik / Hisaronu to Kaya go to Gemiler Beach and will stop at this turn by request. There is plenty of parking space for those wishing to use their own transport.

I'm not arranging anything in regards to food at the end of the walk, as there are plenty of options available.

Please make sure that you bring at least half a litre of water for your own use, and wear sensible shoes as a large part of the pathway is strewn with loose stones.

In order to get an idea of the number of members likely to be taking part, please contact me through my profile.

That date's good for me. As there are several families on our complex areound that time, I'll see if there's any more that are interested

That sounds good to me. The more the merrier.
