Turkey was going to be our last chance to get any work done on the truck to "Western" standards. I decided to make an unplanned visit to the last known Scania dealer to get the brakes checked and got rather more than I bargained for. They did the work for free, laid on a minibus to take the passengers into town and threw in a buffet lunch as well. Thanks Aydin if you are reading this, we're very grateful!
After that we pushed on to Karanmanmaras, but the delay had put us a long way behind schedule and we couldn't find anywhere to camp. Finally, I decided to pull of the road first place I could. In the darkness what we didn't reallise was that we were camped on an army tank firing range! Good job it was the weekend, our big orange truck would have made for pretty good target practice!
