Rising into the sunshine from the chilly thick fog in Kutahya the Anatolian plateau begins to stretch out ahead. Less climbing for many days ahead is comforting.
Ahead by a couple of weeks, one walker David Jury has taken the Sufi Trail which is a 800kms trail from Istanbul to Konya. The trail is suitable for mountain bikes but not mine: the climbing probably even more challenging I suspect! In a few days I will be overlapping the trail and maybe see some trail walkers. In the meantime, a Sufi whirling dervish dancer captured in the revolving statue back in Kutahya.
Atlintas is not much to talk about and simply a hotel location on the way to Afyonkarahisar. I recall Brandon Wilson making it an overnight stay in his 'Along the Templar Trail: Seven million steps towards Peace' book, walking from Dijon to Jerusalem.
