Hiking Event

On Saturday, February 21, we will be holding a hiking event in Şile. Our hike will take place around Darlık Dam and its surroundings. The event has limited capacity.

Our route starts from Korucuköy in Şile. We will proceed along the edge of Darlık Dam, turn around in the wooded area, and finish back at the same spot. It is not a difficult route; there is no rock climbing, river crossing, etc. There are slopes in places. The round trip is approximately 15 km. We will choose a nice spot along the way to stop for lunch. We will also take short breaks during the hike. For those who have been on previous hikes, it will be a similar route, but slightly longer. Estimated hiking time is 5 hours. I may change the route depending on weather conditions and demand. The current weather forecast does not show rain, but it may change.

Meeting time at the club: 08:30

Bus departure time: 09:00

Start of activity: around 10:00

Return: around 16:00

What to bring for hiking:

• Ankle boots (recommended. Even if the weather doesn't look rainy, the ground may be uneven and muddy; therefore, waterproof, ankle-high hiking boots are recommended).

• Backpack (large enough to carry your daily water, food, and personal needs. Around 20 L should be sufficient. Unnecessary weight makes hiking more difficult.)

• Sufficient water, drinks, and nutritious snacks that can be consumed quickly

• Trash bag

Check the weather forecast as the event date approaches and dress accordingly. It is recommended to bring a light change of clothes in case of sweating or getting wet.
