I'm feeling much better today. I head down the Goynuk Valley, through forests and a river gorge. The scenary, especially in the gorge, is lovely. I take a short break for a swim in the beautifully clear, COLD, water; but otherwise do the entire section in good time. It's just a pity that I didn't have this level of fitness at the beginning of the walk. Fiona takes a rest from walking and relocates our gear to Kemer.
Near the bottom of the gorge I disturb three deer like animals. At the time the track is in a narrow cutting, and the animals jump across the top of me to escape. After a bit of research on the internet, I think that they were probably Mountain Gazelle; although few mammalian identification guides are premised upon viewing only the underside of the animal.
Today's tortoise count : 3
