This unforgettable expedition offers you a breathtaking adventure filled with stunning landscapes, challenging terrains, and the awe-inspiring beauty of the Greater Caucasus Mountains. Rising to an altitude of 4,466 meters, Bazardüzü Mountain is the highest peak in both Azerbaijan and the South Caucasus, providing spectacular panoramic views. From the summit, you can admire the border mountains of Azerbaijan and Dagestan, as well as the rugged cliffs of the Greater Caucasus. Despite its impressive height, the Bazardüzü Mountain tour is considered a technically easy climb. Located in the southern part of the Greater Caucasus range, the mountain’s slopes are home to rivers that flow from Shahyaylaq, embarking on a long and roaring journey towards the Caspian Sea. This journey is a perfect choice for those seeking unforgettable moments in the heart of nature and the thrill of embracing the grandeur of the mountains. Before joining the Bazardüzü summit tour, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with all the details of the tour. This is especially useful for first-time climbers and will help you avoid unexpected surprises. Being informed in advance about the physical challenges, the length of the route, and the weather conditions will ensure that you are well-prepared. **Day 1: Baku – Guba – Khinalig – Kharibulbul Heights (2783 m)** After breakfast at the hotel, we depart for Guba. The journey from Baku to Guba takes about 3 hours. After making our final purchases in Guba, we continue our journey to Khinalig village (2 hours). In Khinalig village, we stay in guesthouses.

We continue by vehicle up to an altitude of 2900 meters. Carrying our backpacks, we hike for 2 hours to reach the campsite at 3250 meters. We set up our tents at the campsite. After lunch, we take a short hike up to 3400 meters.

We’re still working to get more people into these Meetups, but our goal is to give PlayYourCourt members a few social tennis outings each week in addition to your practice sessions and Challenge League matches. These Meetups are co-ed, super laid back, and all skill levels are welcome. Post your skill level and a suggested court in the comments section so we can round up as many players as we can for some tennis fun! Also, if you’re looking to meet new practice partners or play some matches and you aren’t already in the PlayYourCourt Community, you can go here to see what we’re all about and sign up: https://www.playyourcourt.com/tennis-community/columbus-oh/meetup/ If you love tennis, we’d love to have you! Be sure and watch the quick video that explains how everything works. Happy hitting! - Scott

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
