Aziz took us to another area of unexplored shafts, and we left the vehicles at the village of Ain Bechar after another tea stop. We headed up the mountains of Igiwan Lkikab, joined by the “mountain goat”, Mustafa. Mustafa knows this area very well due to looking after the family sheep and led us to three shafts.
The hike up took some time, as there were no paths, we merely follow the tracks of sheep, over limestone pavements and upwards. The first shaft was fairly shallow and descended by JC on a lifeline, but was blocked with mud. The next area we went to had two shafts very close together, both of which were descended but with no way on.
As we finished our descent of the hillside, we had more tea and tried the local, delicious honey.
