We considered hitching to the main start of the Truso Valley walk. But unsure if we’d get a lift, and more concerning, a return lift with Corrie, I drove the 3.6 dirt track. I’m absolutely NOT doing any more dirt tracks … we lost a piece of the wheel arch on the return.

The walk itself was busy with people and 4×4 passing us. Note to self: if we want to get down another dirt track, we need to rent a car / and driver.

Along the valley are abandoned Ossetian villages. One guidebook warned there may be Georgian soldiers as it’s close to the South Ossetian border. We didn’t walk that far 😂

I left J at a cafe when the path had a sheer drop one side and I walked onto a thermal sulphur pool. The scenery is majestic.

We drove onto Sno. And we hope it doesn’t Sno. Even more majestic mountains as we drove here.

We are parked up, just off the road (no dirt tracks) adjacent to the huge stone heads. I like a bit of the bizarre, but do they all have to be bearded men?
