Stalker clear sky: How the F dyu get to the Garbage??

for some reason, it is impossible for me to get to my next target in the main plot: the Garbage. Im required to go there to get more info on the fang or something, early in the game, and once i reach the detination of the objective arrow which should normally lead to the garbage, it just reverts me back to cordon. It says: would you like to move to another location? and it just flips me 180 degrees. I checked my PDA and noticed that there was an arrow pointing away from the garbage and towards cordon, so i assumed that that was why i couldnt get through. Then i saw that there was an arrow pointing towards the garbage from teh swamps on my PDA, so i headed to the swamps and once i reached where i thought i could get to the the garbage, i once again was stuck. The arrow on the PDA was gone and was pointing away from the garbage again.

What am i supposed to do? is there something i need to accomplish first or wat? its probably something really retarded that i forgot, but help me out here guys.

Think it's a bug, happened to me in the world version with the 1.01 (1.5.03) patch. Do you have the latest patch 1.5.05? If not I would get it and start over as you're not that far into the game, and there's a good chance you'll encounter more game ending bugs futher down the road without it.

You can't use the swamp garbage path until you've first visited the garbage via the Cordon entrance I believe. Or you could maybe see if there is a guide like at the machine yard in the swamps or somewhere in the Cordon that offers to take you for money, but I'm not sure that will be available yet.
