John braved the mozzies and set out to find the lake. He returned in half an hour with no lake. Although he had his phone and the osmand map to track his path he should of taken my phone and had google maps do he could see the tracks through the reeds on "satellite view".
Decided that we could not easily get through to our white road this
way we would drive
back to the main road.
Just before arriving we had a downpour of rain and the track was getting a little slippery, Glad we did not push through to the water.

Another track went through - a track on the map and in fact. Once to the small town, a good white road headed us back towards the
elusive lake.
The road became a track
the track just faint wheel
tracks the wheel tracks became ….
nothing.
We
had to make our own track straight towards the other track on our
map.
We were reunited with our lost tracks and continued.
We
did not see the lake at all.
Nice
to be out again just on tracks picking which looks the smoothest.
Slowly
back into farming and better tracks. Then popping out on a sealed
road.
We
met a police car who flashed their lights at us so stopped for a
chat. They obviously thought we were lost. They even rang an english
speaker to help us. All good we knew where we were going.
Into
a small village a good circuit around it looking for the way out. A
large flock of hawks flying about and standing on the ground must be
something dead but it is in the middle of the town????
Finally
found the road or rather wheel tracks across to the next village. Was
just a rough 2 wheel track no wonder the cops were curious….. Finally a small river crossing then a left turn onto a good dirt road. On the corner was a bus stop that is used more by the sheep than people I think...
Saw
these two big birds, more graves and lots of sunflowers again.
Turned off onto a very rough track to a small park called Sibinskiie Oziora
which has 5 lakes. The first track into the park we turned into it.
