TAR14 EP4: 'It Was Like a Caravan of Idiots'(Siberia)
apskip:
Teams did not arrive in Brasov until 0920 and they had the RAODBLOCK and DETOUR to contend with. With the exception of Brad/Victoria, they should finsh at between noon and 4pm. After the pitstop, they have about a 3 hour drive in the middle of the night (more during the day time) to get to Bucharest airport between 3am and 7am. The best route Bucharest to Kransnojarsk after 3am is one of these 3 combinations probably taken by the 3 leading teams:
There are 3 choices for the first flight, OA382 OTP ATH 0940 1115 or OA942 OTP ATH 0945 1205 or TK1444 OTP IST 1050 1215
Second flight is SU296 ATH SVO 1310 1730 or TK1415 IST SVO 1335 1740
Third flight for all 3 is SU779 SVO KJA 1055 0540+1
Note: there are also inferior routes through Paris or Frankfurt requiring leaving earlier.
The next best combination, used probably by all other teams, is:
OTP BUD RO9233 1040 1110
BUD DME MA106 1440 1910
Moscow DME Krasnojarsk (KJA) S7071 2220 0645+1
Note for all routes that transportation systems in Russia are set up to funnel through Moscow(logical in the case of goingn from Buchrest to Krasnojarsk but not very logical for Novosibirsk to Delhi.
Slowhatch:
The wooden building must have some local significance, otherwise why put the cluebox there? The closest thing I could find is the church pictured in this album: note the log pattern and the streetlamps. The photos aren't tagged, but I think it's in the Ovsyanka vicinity that Chateau found earlier.
puddin:

--- Quote from: apskip on March 02, 2009, 08:25:11 AM ---Typical progression of legs in Amazing Races goes an average of 5 legs before an NEL. However, in this case the timing suggests that a TBC is more likely than a NEL.

But the map tells us there is a pitstop in Krasnoyarsk so?

And TAR6 had a Leg 4 NEL, so it wouldn't be anything new.
