Every local was convinced that is is inpossible to go via buchanka through the last stretch of the old road from Tomtor to Kadykchan… After they built the New Road nobody goes there…
We wanted to try anyway. Our colleagues from USA rented a second bukhanka for safety… First 100 km was bumpy but passable, we crossed few little rivers fording. We reached the border with Magadan Oblast… There the old road became much worse – when the new road is open since years nobody cares of it… After approx 7 km there was huge, 1 meter deep pothole blocking the road. Mud on the left, mud on the right… No way…
In addition heavy wind and rain started with a little pieces of ice falling from the sky…
It was net easy to take the decission about return to Tomtor…
Waterloo? Not! Just one more adventure!
