were used Eugene and my photos
waved us here in Europe for the weekend 18-19 December. In Belarus. Trample snow, pokonyachit campfire, in general, just relax. place outing identified wetland reserves Swans moss. The mere definition of the wetland was able to lure us back, let alone the Swans moss generally sound. Route solid and had no kroili it on the go. The group rather traditional: I, Eugene and Sergey.
Friday night with the Belarus station by train BSc Moscow-Polotsk. Trains warhead strongly outperform Railways trains even at the expense of cheap tea (8 rubles, against 24). And beer there is officially in the price list the conductor and it is as much cheaper.
morning were in Polotsk. Station in Polotsk fairly typical. The only thing that I immediately caught my eye - lack kontazhki. Path is - no wires. Brought us to the diesel.
from Polotsk local suburban diesel station Alescha. Alescha - terminus, but they can go to Nevel, in the same suburban diesel. Morning, overcast, snowing.
returned a mile back along the paths at the same time pofotkali our diesel.
On "Steam Engine" last picture even out the competition was not accepted. But the snow - it's art effect, not a shitty photo quality. Well, their business.
2,5 kilometers to the NW of trodden road. Crossed the road, kerf into the woods. Come Time change one's shoes. The guys put on snowshoes, I pinned the new overshoes from "equipment." Snowshoes I also have, but I wanted to check overshoes and themselves in terms of storm snow (which, incidentally, was sometimes greater than 30 cm).
After a while, what felled then sprinkled with a little road directions which coincides with our (west) and the guys took off snowshoes.
For this dear were still miles 4 until track is not over. She did it in akkurat The Lake Deep.
Then he walked a little on the NW to Lake unharmonious. Pathway was viewed.
unharmonious have figured how to live further. Stop for the night was still early, but already think it made sense. Like spending the night at the lake. Like azimuths and windbreak. Combine all It was not difficult: the two kilometers to the south were two lakes - Curves and Chermistsa. Go to them it was necessary to first hooked azimuth clearing, then another pair of km. south on her.
reached the northern shore of the lake is crooked. And we need to get to the south. Between the shores of 250 meters, but mindful of the case with the guys from Bauman at Onega, burst directly does not like. Circumvent the bushes too. Agreed to a compromise: go on the ice, but at the coast, with one foot almost stepping on shore, and trying (at least I tried) do not approach each other.
rounded the lake, were on the ligament between lakes. It also decided to earthed. Actually the choice that was not great - a feeling that almost everywhere around the lake marsh, and become far from the lake did not want. Here (on the shore of Lake Chermistsa) was something Tipo mound. Next all trite. Entering the camp, cutting sushnin, campfires. Snow decided not to drown. Why, because the number of whole lake water. Not without someone's mother's hacked a hole. Cutting through the hole is in a technical secret I still can not reveal.
bite, sat by the fire. Uyutnenko so.
relish nakupavshis, pokonyachili, porasskazyvali stories about bears and lynxes that attack on a sleeping tourist and went to sleep. At night there was a blizzard.
Today we need to go around the lake as a Chermistsa and come in Dretun. Had begun to bend around the lake on the ice, but because of the snow in a large quantities of water began to act. Crammed the shore. Emerged from the lake to the power lines, in the hope that under the LEP will be some technical trail. Not finding thereof, have gone along the track parallel to power lines and going right in the Dretun. Vista was beautiful and brought a lot of fun.
In Dretun left with a margin of a couple of hours. Enough time pokostrit, cognac finish, walk and take pictures station.
From Dretuni suburban diesel back to Polotsk. There was barely enough time to change seats on the train to Moscow. Nedurnenko ate in the restaurant car. Spent there for three thousand 120 rubles. I would also like brandy for 18 thousand rubles to try (never drank brandy for 18 rubles), but I was not given.
Another was a small fotovylazka in Vitebsk.
Track who need.
