A four day trip in the middle of January can be cold. The we pass some high places, between 1100 and 1600 meter high (Ankara lies at an altitude of 1000 meter). It is likely in the night between -5 or 0 C. (or who knows how cold!?)
The packing list shows what makes life more comfortable, everything that is missing of your equipment makes life 100% less pleasant!
Note: your cep telephone works almost everywhere in the area we go to, but only if you keep the battery close to your body (warm) during the night. Extreme low temperatures can finish your battery. In wintertime and early spring there are no snakes, spiders or scorpions. Hungry wolves and bears belong theoretically to the possibilities but aren't seen for a long time. And finally: wild boars are there!
