you might be lucky and find some tama but mostly it's just to try looks fortunately alexei's wonderfully named is up to the top. model of the book much of this is spin spin on this the is second to. give up and down to crash the blasts. still going. strong. enough it's. just a couple of days in the caucuses reserve had its on for the mountains the biosphere here is filled with unique flora and fauna some of the best hiking trails in the country. but getting to them wasn't going to be easy especially as there are plenty of places that even the wozzeck can't go. james take this one place it will be my bike. i'm on the blue one.

to get into the forest we needed to cross the nearby river but along the rugged palls like these you need to be careful where you're putting your wheels. problems of. simple he's pretty easy to puncture. the excesses of the thing you have. had to hold. and once we were up and rolling it was time to head across the water. on the bit lloyd. we're going to avoid boy. this is. alex a work says the head of a conservation pole and knows almost everyone based in the coax is national reserve he gets to go home most nights but they're all for restraint. does that live here

with their families three hundred sixty five days a year and their little enclave was on next door. the rangers are here to police the reserve and keep it as unspoiled as possible and even though it's still late summer they're already preparing for the winter. area comes a total of fifty four thousand take to us means we've got a lot to do considering that the group is very small the season is almost over shall we help out of course we can sure. help is always welcome. it was great to eat some real food after a long ride and lending a hand in the field seem like the least we could do. take quite a lot of this place and that includes several hungry horses so the more hay we collect now should be enough to. see the more through with.

how much someone could. after a couple of hours we gathered a mini mountain and ranger alexander took us off to collect all reward we still had a fair way to go and i was pleased to have someone else doing the hard work. ok in the stirrups. so i'm on butch here. which i guess means that alex says on sunday. and i'm hoping that it should make going up the hills a little easier anyway oh boy. here i thought. i. was all going to have got his rather spirited mount under control we rode off into the forest. got the calm one here the pass here can be a little treacherous and i was glad to have alexander leading the way down to the water's edge. we managed to cross over but with the

pathway getting narrower alexander was forced to turn back with the horses and alexei and i were on foot again but not for long. we're way past the museum to the river spring the whole point the water here is still fairly blowing so alex and i going to need something quite sturdy we're going to get down in one piece and i think. that mission do the trick nicely. as i'm. wrong to use one of the most popular summer school up here in the mountains and various companies offer trips down the river and extra crew to make up the numbers and it certainly helps with the paddling. but

it wasn't exactly white water as you can probably tell because of the fact that i'm still dry but we've made it way down here and now. we get to tackle the cliffs themselves. i was expecting in. the reserve and apparently one does exist you just have to climb up to it. what i'm worried about is that this is supposed to be the easy. grabbing a helmet and harness from the group at the bottom of the cliff but prepared for the ascent. a couple of close before this is particularly

steep. hill has got me through everything so. put my faith and. first attempts didn't exactly inspire a. didn't. say done this before and he's having a bit of trouble and what needs. doing. are you coming your way here. let's see how far we will get up. it seems to do this well you have to have incredibly strong finger it's as it's impossible often to cripple rope with the whole hand otherwise it can be a very painstaking process but after some long breaks and the old cotton brewers we

made it to the polls above. well we've made it to the top. broken up and. that feeling sort of. my shoulders are going to say but. i don't know if. i. finally we have mountains all around us and a clear road ahead and i like saying oh i could start a trek into the middle of the reserve we still had a long climb in front of us but at least it wasn't vertical this time. the trails just stumps it's even absent it thankfully it's been really tough so far it's the spacing. because i think it's all going to be worth it.

this trail has only been created in the last few years and it's made the tough journey up into the reserve considerably easier meaning more people have a chance to. enjoy it but there's still plenty of work going on up here to make the area more welcoming for tourists. something like a four hour hike into the mountains followed immediately by some construction work but. kindly. free released. from the national park. losing is done using ecologically friendly material and the team up here are busy creating two new houses for those visitors who prefer not to sleep out in the elements but for now it's a case that if you want a decent kit you bring your own tent. he's going to try to get her out quickly before the weather changes.

fortunately we've brought a modern tent with us and it was only a few minutes before everything was staked out and ready to go. home sweet. time. it wasn't exactly going to be haute cuisine but as long as it was hot and there was plenty of it it was fine by me. here take this you can warm up with some tea. i recommend drinking it with some honey from our local

bees because it's naturally effective. in the meantime i was enjoying a brew with a good dollop of honey and it's a bit of a local specialty here. the reserve is full of beautiful flowers like these and that means millions of be great caucasian mountain bees to be precise makers of the tastiest honey. in the region. miller has been a beekeeper in this beautiful spot for more than twenty five years and has dozens of hives in her back garden and their residents are incredibly well behaved. it's the first time i've ever seen anybody open a hive and not use smoke. told me that the bees were quite friendly and. seems to be the case. the bees are perfectly adapted for the mountain flowers and supposedly have the longest tongues of all honeybees.

all of them serving her majesty the queen. breeds the queen specially and uses them to start new hives here and across the region. the highly prolific and it doesn't take the work as long to produce a honeycomb like this just don't expect them to give it up easily. now we're going to share it with be. packed with sugar and energy the honey was a great start but i was ready for my main course. the chicken. with amused there are many wild animals out here and. we could even see bears today for lucky. they might come to our tent even.

because there aren't any berries and. are hungry for food because their hibernation is over now. so let's not leave any empty cans i. don't want to meet any hungry bears here. take precautions. now let's add some meat. when you camping there's always room for more calories and who can resist chicken from a can. that. everything is good. and after just four or five minutes on the boil it was time to dig in. jim's hundred pull over. this is porridge or soup for i don't know what exactly to call it it doesn't matter. we just need to eat it up with food we eat

out here needs to be filling with lots of calories so you have plenty of energy. and some for me. so how is it. surprising that anything about eight out of. i was completely exhausted and with darkness closing in i was ready to crawl into my sleeping bag and just hope that alexei didn't smell too much. secret laboratory tim kirby was able to build

with another long day ahead in the caucuses reserve aleksei was keen to get going shortly after sunrise and i sleepily wandered down to a nearby street. for. morning. very misty mountain day. and told me to try and wake up. in that. class in a decent cup of tea of course and around here it has to be some of the local brew. one thing that the russians and the british certainly share is a great love of tea and here in the sub tropical south the lucky russians actually have the climate that they can grow themselves this is the mets tea plantation

and it will be hard to believe but it's the biggest in the country. it's been here since the late one nine hundred forty s. but the whole operation was restored and modernized back in two thousand and six the plants themselves are extremely robust and able to survive winter temperatures which can drop below freezing but they have to be harvested carefully and one man who knows all about that his lady man who's worked in the tea business all his life . with this not. just the tips that the we make green tea from these leaves why don't you try some of the best and very healthy the healthiest and taste as part of a try can we of course want rule of it's a little bit better because of the tan and. i think i prefer mine in a cup. becoming an expert tea pick it takes time and experience but they're always looking for new recruits.

each plant has to be harvested up to eleven times a season and they set me to join. the give us come out of one of these issues in your absolutely so you can see why you need these sort of clothes but. when you think what a bad hole and each one of these sacks weighs around forty kilos and they're delivered daily to the new processing plant. is part of all the load from the fields and we're going to see how it's turned into the green. might seem works only automated production line and that's a two month job. just about but. they hear they go to the steamer the temperature is ninety degrees you. get you

know after that they're cooled by this ventilator. which beat them there we did. it but then they're dumb to go into earlier which whips them. what they teach on the tealeaves then subject it to easing with. the results look a bit like this. the process to use send to the packing factory and it's ready for the shops. that is the team making process from start to finish now all that remains is for me to sample the goods myself. and i have to say that drinking mountain tea in the mountains takes particularly good and enjoys tallackson i packed a. and set off again ready to make our way right into the center of the reserve. james check this place out. it's very interesting because it is here

about the russians german troops operating in the mountains that was during world war two otherwise known in this country is the great patriotic war the germans were aiming to break through to the black sea and oil deposits there. fighting in the mountains was a tough job considering the local terrain around us. there weren't any tourist routes back them. and the nearby considerably older landmarks. or the you more these stone structures might well date back a thousand years people began breeding livestock here in the tenth century shepherds use these structures as shelters if these twelve ruins are anything to go by a dozen shepherds would stay here at a time while their animals grazed up in the mountains or.

as we moved forward into the mists we passed on the travellers making their way towards camp and they told us we were close to an oasis. you can swim here. you're. thinking about having a swim. every weather was better go ahead. it's not cold. this is the round lake it's fed by six surrounding springs and it's clear waters team with wildlife and you know this lake formed as a result of glaciers making depressions in the ground it's likely to be hundreds of thousands or even millions of years old.

and just beyond its banks there's a view that's worth all the effort it takes to get here. though i said i want to see the most beautiful parts of the mountains and i think definitely counts it might have taken on with the day of walking in a pretty uncomfortable night and finally made it right at the heart of the call. is it been an amazing journey but i wasn't relishing the thought of lugging my pack down the mountain on foot but one of sorties a limb. development was about to come to my rescue. i have absolutely no. find of civilized way of getting it's about the best thing. in the last twenty. and.

i said goodbye to alexei and prepared to head down back to the city of sochi but before i did i thought i deserved a little or no the only thing that i want to do now is steal away my aches and pains in the banya or the bath house and it's probably one of the most russian thing you can do. or in this case is. l.o.l. i mean it's the british band yeah that's right can i come in thank you very much. i j i j that's all i was thinking and i can see pictures of the queen on the wall the cricket back here in there so what's a british about which is. well even very british and i think. the to do with the fact that it's like a british tradition to get. from everywhere in one place like. james looking has lived and worked in russia for more than fifteen years and he's turned his banja

into one of the areas most popular sport but it's not always been easy to retreat didn't work because people in russia they want to come on holiday to drink. and you know barbecue especially so their idea of vegetarian pitching and walking in the mountains you know it wasn't very. good but in the end we built the barn you know by new works and it all went from there. and as i went away to get changed the first room was heated up well wait and see what. the temperature inside the banya pushes one hundred degrees celsius more than two hundred foreign oil it's the process is all about getting rid of the body's impurities stiffening the system and having the man told me and hold it. and it'll be saying that some chemical. the whole experience is very intense and feels more like a tribal ritual than

a sponsorship but if you find yourself getting into lightheaded there's a sure way to wake you up again. body and soul. spits was less fun. it's. fortunately the pain is temporary and they have an extremely original recovery method. this really says.

ok so being covered with honey beaten with sticks and then boiled in a large pot might not be traditionally british but some things never change j something. that they are. told. is he's actually see i bring back from england. when i travel there. is. of course you know. what it's. called enjoying. it was an eccentric but wonderfully relaxing and to my trip into the reserve the scenery up here is incredible and a stark contrast to the bustling city a short distance below it is another side of sochi but no one should miss.
