Karelia, the Finnish border

Good day YaPovtsam respected!
Provoke me comrade Zmey 2007 his photos of hiking, I can not help, I decided to share my journey 2009.
Again Karelia, you ask again, pictures of sunsets and mushrooms, fish and berries? Yes, as you can!
Not really, I answer, that without me enough, I want to talk a little bit about life in the campaign, that hides behind the beautiful "postcards" and what we have, damn it, so drawn to these fabulous places ...

Comrades, 42 photo

So, leave behind two days train lyrics, overburden belongings, shaking on a first coat, and other sweet nothings.
1. Unload





What I love boating? Yes, because "evil force bears": do not need to count every gram, which then need to sweat, to drag over the hump, but that does not mean that we should recruit sun loungers and parasols. Long hike, by the way, starts zadoolgo before boarding the train, you need to think through every detail, every element snaryagu and clothing, we will go to the "nenaselёnku" forgot a sweater or ax may be very "iknutsya" Then, the North does not like "shapkozakidateley." < br />
2. Junk (not for the faint of heart)



After unloading, comes the most hated, as for me, work- collecting boats and packing things first, you need to associate a million knots, tighten the screws a bunch, sort clothes for Germomeshki, fend off mosquitoes ... Tin.

3. Shipyard



Finally, the dishes on the water ... Our route ran through a huge system of lakes connected by short rivers, so we chose katamarany- they are more stable on the waves of lakes and more Capacity than kayaks.

4. Finally, in the water.



Catamarans are not simple, and with masts and sails, no do not shoot all of two weeks to be like a crab in the galley, right? By the way, with a fair wind, laden piece of plate gives a good move, as much whistling in my ears ... True, bury had pretty, halyava- substance tricky and fickle.

5. Our Scarlet Sails.



The captain of the second ship was not inclined to zamorochki and sail made of polyethylene, though not as impressive, but easier then throw \ to give a local greenhouse, and the tape can always be repaired

6. The second in the squadron.



On the first stop, of course, Karelian beauty just stunned and hand itself stretches for fotikom ...

7. Sunsets, where do without them (I promise, many will not).



After the first move, and spending the night, we always plan dnёvku for adjustment equipment, cargo package at a more thorough and fine-tuning "Posudin."
Also, I will tell you, the more crap.

8. Lapping to mind.



Bears? Wolves? Fuck it, the crunch of twigs, the clatter and shouts of mad khalyavnykh blueberries Turia heard, perhaps even the Finnish border guards

9. Feed.



Naturally, Her Majesty fishing, good, not dark at night, especially uporotyh standing with fishing rods up in the morning, the same day trying not to fall overboard and do not snore.

10. The first fishing, all in a rush, and a novelty.



Here is the first river on our way, just a deathly silence, nothing gives rapids ahead ...

11. The entrance to the River.



Landscapes around a brush Vasnetsov and looking view of the shore Alionushka mystical place, the birds do not scream as much scary

12. Just twelve.



Finally perekatik first, a little bit of adrenaline, do not become wet.

13. rifts.



Distant civilization was trying podgovnit his erring children on the rivers often come across bridges, one escaped with only removing the towers.

14. Supersymmetric bridge.



But the second dog, forced to tinker.

15. Old, poor and unnecessary, damn him to fight.



But the escape routes were not, had to be unloaded and carried out under the bridge, the tourist can stop our only battle the elephant and not the fact.

16. Provision under the bridge.



By the way, Karelia all somehow associated with clouds of mosquitoes, and this is partly true, but if you opt for the parking \ snacking open and blown mesta- these bastards worry no more than in the middle lane. Comrades, the means-repellent is better to take different manufacturers, sometimes cheap can be much more advanced Offaly.

17. Snack on the spit.



Leksozero, the middle of our journey, the largest lake in the system went through a full calm, very lucky, the weather in the north is changing for half an hour, from solntsepёka the storm before the storm, and vice versa. Shovel on a wave would be sweet.

18. Mirror Lake during calm. Incidentally, to the farthest point on film 40 km.



Equator campaign we always note the tourist bath, a device about which I would like more detail, so this process is sacral and holy. "The basis of the" need to heat most of the day, an hour to leave schepochek not work, you need a lot of firewood, dear Anonoimus.

19. 'hard labor in the blanks.



Once the stones approach is simply impossible, the wisest time to komanduet-.

20. Steam generator coal.



Finally, the hoisting of the dome, it is important to good glue joints wide tape and take a bath for the film at least 200 microns, otherwise the whole day trahanina awry.

21. Squatting territory brazen malorosami



For skeptics: inside you can comfortably bathe together, certainly polyethylene stenki- is not polished lime, but after a week without hot water procedural goes "bang».

22. The modest decorations inside.



While the men were engaged in complex engineering works, building and felling, women were busy preparing varenikoff with chernikoy- More vkusnuypirogek she will tell you.

23. Nachinki- for themselves, not in public.



24. Careful female hands



Good After bathing, drink pivas specially taken for a bath as he eyes Mulia transitions, beckoning in the morning steamed-banks came his hour will be no mercy!

25. For thousands of kilometers away from home, away from the cities, without mobile and computers, can be happy ...



In general, the subject of food, I would like to reveal to fill up, as tourists are often quartered zhruschey tushnyak bomzhpakety and, if at all starving and miserable.
The basis of the food make cereals and porridge, kartohu taken on soups and soup, nothing at all in the hope of taking the gifts of nature, too, you can not, you can cool vstryat, so you need to take canned, but more on the N / C.
Do not forget about vegetable oil if povezёt- in Ratzon will be a lot of this.

26. nyamka.



If you lucky rybaki- on your desk will be heaps of crunchy croutons, perch, or a noble Ushytsya.

27. Soon it will be delicious.



28. Ushytsya fresh fish, but living in drinking water- it's something, so do not forget spices and lavrushechku.



29. And what is good for breakfast manochka, but with a Chernichko Sakharkov ... After two weeks on this berry is easy to start to see the numbers on board planes flying.



Practical advice on how to avoid conflicts a la "and then I was hired on all casino endlessly cook?" "I also want to fish all, do not want to cook, zhrite tushnyak bread": duty plan before departure, in pairs in the end for the entire campaign will be only a couple of days of cooking, the remaining time will be fully relax. And nobody obidno- everything honestly.
We are fortunate obtained heterosexual couples: woman on a delicate process, and you currently drags water, firewood Ruby, stir and muzzle trading.

30. Dezhurit- not so scary.



Last lake on the route, with the main dalshe- river rapids, a farewell appearance.

31. In these landscapes, it is not surprising that the ancients thought, as if the earth is flat.



32. The last sunset on a wide surface.



33. The banks begin to shrink inexorably ahead poroga- heard the roar becomes a little ssykotno, and soon everything will start ...



Thus, the river Lieksanjoki first rapids. People who do not zabyvaёte about saving vests and stirrups on catamarans, how many people ruined by carelessness and bravado, for God's sake, be extremely careful, obey novichki- captains buruny- it rocks, they need to circumvent, sit on kamni- can turn, and then - the card will fall

34. input.



35. Second ekipazh- gone!



36. Start the main program Marlizonskogo ballet, already a year later murahi walk back ...



37. Foam yama- most dangerous place for error is not only a clear command execution, and no panic.



38. us extend, mice Siberians, we have firmly made.



39. The view from above the threshold



40. inflatable toy in his mighty arms ...



Last Vecherni special ritual burning of old stuff to the songs, I do not know exactly what it means, but respected for many years.

41. Kodunstvo, however.



F \ railway station, final destination, all ever so ends ...
So, friends, a good recipe pohoda- normalized zhest that was not boring, well thought-out route with the possibility of emergency in which case the waste, and, most importantly, good, friendly company, no random people, drunken morons and do not forget you with this time, they need to communicate closely, think ten times if you decide to go with those whom do not belong to the soul.

42. Do not karely- inventors' padonkafskago yezyka "?
