Cycle Touring in Turkey around Fethiye Tim Davies_0001.wmv

Griff — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 14:19:08 +0000

A video of some shooting I made while on holiday in Fethiye, I climbed all the mountain passes to about 30km distance. Some roads turn into rough tracks towards the top but reward with a pass and a descent back onto tarmac again. Turkish maps are useless – a worthy project.
