We all like a bit of fresh air... We all like a bit of celebration... and the 2 together is rather nice... So 17 of us (mainly VSO's vols and staff) headed to Manzushir monastery/temple/museum/ruins.... to spend the night and 4 of us decided to come back to UB by foot as done last May 2008. The idea to climb the Tsetsegun uul (2300m) and the head down to the city, it's about 7-8 hour walk...
i know i shouldn't compare but this time not only we had a lovely warn/breezy weather but also and above all we didn't get lost!!!!!! so all good times!
the beginning of the afternoon, chilling by the ger...
night time the celebration starts, all you need is some music and a lot of happy people!
all in, no matter the age!
And next day, the walk... and here we start...
perfect blue sky!
perfect blue sky!
This one is for my fellow manzushir walkers: do you remember, this is the spot were we had lunch and nearly died frozen...?
the amazing owoo, this time snowless!
the group: Claire, Aki, Chris, me
the boulder fields haven't moved...
We are oh! so close... this is the presidential valley... if you get 2 close you might have a close encounter with the security...
to avoid them we had to go down and up the mountain again... and as you can imagine no, i wasnt very happy to have to climb again!
and Zaizan! this is the south of the city... from there we took a bus (down there in the valley i mean!), the wrong bus... so ended up having to walk still...
