2018 ADVENTURE CAMP

MUĞLA, ULA, AKYAKA 22 Nisan 2018 - 13 Mayıs 2018

Antalya'daki Kültür Rotaları Derneği'nin işbirliği ile düzenlediğimiz bu kampta Karya yürüyüş yolunda temizlik ve işaretleme çalışmaları yapıldı. Akyaka'da başlayan kamp Marmaris'te sona erdi. Grup 2-3 günde bir yer değiştirerek bazen kamping alanlarında bazen köy okullarında bazen de yol üzerindeki uygun yerlerde çadırlarda konaklayarak, yaklaşık 150 kilometrelik bir alanda çalıştı. Bir yerden diğerine giderken çadırlar ve diğer eşyalar KRD'nin sağladığı araçlarla taşındı.

Grubun liderliğini geçen yıllarda olduğu gibi yine Fransız kamp liderimiz Joseph Favre Felix yaptı. KRD, liderin ülkesinden kampa geliş ve gidiş yol giderlerini karşıladı. Kampa Belçika, Fransa, Hong Kong, Makedonya ve Rusya'dan toplam 6 yabancı gönül geldi. KRD'nin gönüllülerinden 2 kişi de sürekli grupla birlikteydi.

Joseph'in sözlü raporuna göre kamp çok iyi geçti. Katılımcılar da KRD de memnun kaldı. Kamp ziyaret eden bir gazeteci de Türkiye gazetesinde kamp hakkında bir haber yazdı.

KAMP TANIMI :

GEN-01 ADVENTURE CAMP IN CARIAN TRAIL 22.04 – 13.05 RENO/CONS 10 vols

This is a unique work camp for nature-lovers and back-packers. We invite you to walk through a very beautiful landscape, amazing views and a wonderful natüre. Carian Trail is Turkey’s longest footpath passing through villages, beaches, ruins and rugged coastline around the southwest corner of Turkey.

This spring, a group of international volunteers will be cleaning parts of the walking route in Bozburun and Datca Peninsulas and other areas mainly on the coastline for 3 weeks. The work consists of clearing lots of scrub, waymarking and making paths. Volunteers need to be prepared to walk several kilometres during the work each day and to work with sharp tools. You should bring old clothes, gloves and good boots. There will be a GENCTUR leader and a local leader who speaks Turkish-English. There may be other local helpers as well on some days.

W: Clearing scrub and bushes on paths. Waymarking, route-clearing, garbage-collection along the walking route. We would also like someone to photograph or film activities on the route and make a blog or short film.

A: Mostly wild camping (sometimes on beaches) in tents that will be supplied or sometimes a village house or pension. Sleeping-bag, and mat are necessary; you can bring your own tent if you like. F: Materials and food will be supplied by the organizers or local authorities. Volunteers will be responsible for preparing meals for the group by daily turns.

LO: A great majority of the route follows the coastline passing through small villages near Marmaris, Datça, Akyaka and Bodrum. Check them on the map, you will admire. On your off days, you may be able to visit town centers, beaches or ruins.

Meeting - Closest airport is Dalaman, then Bodrum. We will be meeting in Akyaka on the afternoon of 22 April. Akyaka is on the main bus route from Dalaman Airport to Marmaris and the bus takes 1 hour to Akyaka. At the end of three weeks, 13 May, we will drive from Bodrum to Dalaman and we can leave you at either Bodrum or Dalaman Airport. Volunteers can join for 2 weeks or for 3 weeks. Work camp site is safe and secure.

I decided to go 2 weeks at the end of March to the region of Muğla in the south of Turkey to help the association Culture Routes Society to maintain hiking trails. Pruning trees and renewing markings for hikers.

There were about ten of us there. We pitched our tents in a campsite in the town of Bodrum the first week and near Marmaris the second week. By the sea with a magnificent view every time! Every day, in small groups, we each advanced on a part of the Carian Trail. A huge 800 km path on the Turkish coast between Dalaman and Izmir with incredible landscapes and a rich architectural heritage (Greek amphitheatre ruins for example)!

This first work camp experience was most rewarding for me. I met volunteers from different backgrounds and countries (Russia, China, Macedonia, Turkey) and learned more about Turkish culture. We went through villages and talked with locals, very curious about our work in their area. I became aware of the importance of our work by speaking with them. If we brought the tourists to them, they could then take advantage to sell them agricultural products (honey, olives) and other handmade objects. We were helping to create a local economy!

I have fond memories of it and I hope to go back there next year to continue the work on another part of the Carian Trail with the same coordinators of course! They were just great!
