Shatili to Roshka - Running through the Caucasus Map

Stage three follows a dusty jeep track for most of the way. Don't be persuaded by the kind locals that offer you a lift. Instead, push up and over another pass and finally reach THAT bridge, Survive this and you'll have five more kilometres to the village of Roshka. The last portion of trail is all uphill and overgrown forests & fields. The going is tough but the scenery is well worth the toil.
