Last summer in Karelia

I want to write my first post about Karelia

Hello to all fishermen, tourists and fans of Russian nature. In particular, Karelia!
Last summer was able to go on a wonderful fishing and leisure in Karelia on Vygozero and so I decided to make a small photo report! (after the cook then read several similar topics)

Let's go)

Fees and preparations have begun for a couple of months before departure! To coordinate the composition of the "Expedition")))), that those who have the inventory (burners, boats, tents, motors, etc., you can go on and on), how many and which machines will go and the ultimate power of our way (ie . where we were going (your CEP))! Initially, all planned arrival on the Kola Peninsula, but not grown together with the host of the party, and therefore rushed to Karelia!
The first and most of the people went to the day before us (we did not let a freak at work) on June 16! Well, the two of us came from work at 9 pm on the 17th all started quickly ship to leave for the night, and all the major cities slip before they come to life after a dream! In short, we will start his approximately 12 start 1st night, drinking some coffee and tea beforehand on tight! The next point of our route was Rostov!
In Rostov we waited, we took to the cargo that is not got into those machines that went before, and cans of gasoline under which we will have to fill in the last gas station before the Congress of the forest as the forest had to drive about 120 km and more than any municipality (and so far, we do not know what we are)
At 4 am we arrived at the Yaroslavl road just a fairy tale: the empty road, the fog begins to get light in the distance shows the city!



Yaroslavl slipped quickly, especially on the navigator, finally do not have to think further moved to Vologda !!!
With excellent mood "Karelia is waiting for us," we were flying along the road stopping only to "move to the wind" on the side of the road))))). Cops gone, empty road, krasotischa!



each



So we pёrli without stopping the song "Gaza Strip" almost to the Vytegra not yet started here so that's the main road ...



The way to compare how washboard, all covered with small ripples!

Posted in [mergetime] 1340801312 [/ mergetime]
In Vytegra we stopped at a shop to buy a few cans of energy, smokes, and moved on to Pudozh! There have already been paved path, and went on roadsides rock.



And finally, it seemed a welcome pointer region borders, but by this time we had really wanted to sleep because it is run out of energy, and stores not yet come across on the way!



Empty road with a normal coating, a little quite decent vibration in small pits, a lot of branches in hand with leaving the forest (taiga), dirt roads, often without direction, periodically caught unclear settlements 5-6 houses collapsing and distortions, of which residential only two and they do not understand how there! Begin Karelian landscapes with white sand and a thick pine forest stunted.



And so we move on Pudozh! On the road we call guys (by the way with communication there are some nuances) that went before, and said that the last locality in which there is petrol, as I understand it Kuglozh Max.
I forgot to write earlier, but better late than never)))) !!! Before the trip, it is necessary to purchase a sim card as megafonovskuyu Only there you can catch a megaphone and that not all pre-connect services deshovoe roaming! Communication MTS and Beeline disappears as you approach the Karelia and appears only in the large settlements!
Finally we got to Pudozh, some time went without bond since It was with Beeline and MTS! Immediately began to look for salons MegaFon had to drive through the town to find a vegetable store which housed the office of a megaphone))) bought two SIM cards with a balance at 200p each, and no services are not connected! Later 200r. we went for 10-15 minutes of talk time! On the outskirts of town we stopped at a cafe in the hotel, the building which seems to be some sort of an island civilization on the background of gray buildings of the city, ate perfectly, took power engineering and moved on to look Kuglozh (on the map it was not, that is very alarming)!
Once again, the drizzle stopped and see what was on the roadside vzgorkom!
Before we opened one of the many Karelian rivers that winds through the vast expanses of forests and hills!
And we have it uvidili navryatli esle not loggers, who bared one side of the river!



We go further, looking Kuglozh))))) We pass the turn in the forest Sergeyev, where we need to go further, and filling and no, although guys said that the charge should be before turning !!! Getting nervous because goryuchku in the tank at the end, decide to stop and get in touch with the guys that they clarified where this fucking Kuglozh look! I call the camp and ask:
 - & Quot; Che then we're going - go, all the characters look, turn already passed, and no Kuglozha seen! Where damn us to fill cans for boats, and they themselves have salyara at the end? & Quot;
Guys neponyatkah we meet:
 - "What Kuglazh you are looking for, we had to refuel in Pudozh !!!!!»: blink:
Starts output of emotions vosnavnom in obscene form))) and we understand that due to poor communication or hearing Maxim Sergeich we lohanulis the full program:!: There to meet us netoropyas rolls swaying from side to side buhanochka! Brakes her! We asked the driver where Closest refueling and how to ride it? The answer shocked us, the next refueling were Pudozh 120km before him or before him Medvezhyegorsk we 76km and salyarki sensor in the tank was already in the red zone, and it was already in the evening! And the mileage so the locals call just as if they were his steps checked)))!
The choice we had, and we went to Medvezhyegorsk hoping for a miracle ....! And it happened, as we lasted until the filling is not clear on what that magic Karelian pairs probably the arrow tank we just prayed! Zaprvochka good TNC benzinchik there 92 and diesel fuel at the same price 28R-plus per liter! There we all cans filled, the tank filled to the full with a more 40litrov salyary taken (as it turned out not in vain)!
Further our path lay back to turn on and there is still Sergiev 60km via unmade dirt road through the marshes to the Sergiev. The road turned out to be even worse than that described previously, although predictably as It was a simple forest road to the village, it is just like the previous all in small ripples mixed with cobblestone, gravel, logs, logs will likely need to hold back the soil in spring and autumn, during those 60 km to meet us no cars not hit, although it is clear that the road ezdiyut often! And so we came to the bridge across the river Vig to Sergiev, already had about eight in the evening!



the same bridge



Most old but very strong from whole logs in two layers thick, the bridge supports are made in the form of rectangular log cabins inside filled with boulders and cobblestones for strength.
By our standards, the small village of houses in the 40-50 may be less, has a primary school, post office, house of culture, and the store, in the mail and online school has 8)! All the houses are wooden old gray as not painted, just gray 'color to the board from time to time! The store was the most of all the painted houses)))



The richest people in the villages are pensioners, teachers, postal workers and sellers since they have at least some income, s / n (salary 3-5tys. rub. is considered normal) Almost all adult men are judged for poaching and illegal logging because there is no other means of existence!
Leave Sergeyev and with confidence that we have drawn on Yandex map route leaving the forest, the navigator we were no longer led, and openly sent 3 fun! For a while there is a bumpy road (about 7-9km) then quite flat compared to our forest roads!
Then begins another adventure)))! Map which we drew was completely useless ... The road in the woods were so many that they can be lost, that basically what happened with us! Roads all knurled timber lorries and nearly all blind, but before the deadlock can go a few dozen kilometers! we strayed on them trying to get at least roughly in the direction indicated on the map, passed through several strong bridges and buried in the bridge that really keeps on snot ...



We thought that the boys would risk navryatli go through it and turned in the return line ... (time, it was one o'clock)
In addition to the map, we focused more on the relatively fresh traces left by two cars (our just two and went), but by the time we did not understand where in the map we are, and the card does not always correspond to reality! So we trusted to follow and clearly drove them ...
So we went in the footsteps of trying not to lose your way, straying and wagging behind Karelian forest track ...
and time it was about 3 o'clock in the morning ... a little darkly from the forest, and there is much brighter



probably more so about 20 minutes and then went to Max shouted that he saw ahead of them ..)) but it turned out that it is not they, but local hunters-fishers))) !!! Those, in turn, were surprised and maybe scared (faces were puzzled) from what at 3am from the forest creeps Orange Box))) !!! We asked them where we are and how we pass on Vygozero? The boys are still not moving away from the shock nochnova acquaintances are starting to ask where we are bold painted in the forest without the browser and maps! Telling them that because they say so, Vladimir us that the majority of people already in place and that without communication, we can then find a way to it can not! Local laugh at us and say that we are desperate guys if you put it in the taiga without maps trying to find a way to handle the marked printouts with Yandex cards that supposedly they are here with maps of the fornication and we naugat's welcome! We ask them once again where we are right now, they again neighing, saying that we are already in the Arkhangelsk region ruined Lake Schuche now increased our eyes !!! Then desisexyboy jointly drew us part of the route, we thanked them and went away !!!
It turned out that we left nothing on this bridge and Lyudmila Gnilova have to go through it. Came back pretty quickly, went to the bridge, jumped on it (all swinging), we looked into the bottom, underneath a pile of washed supports sub-wood and the top is a few spruce branches with the remnants of a meter and a half, in the pit medvezhey stakes! Picture is unpleasant, but it was necessary to go!
Max decided that if he failed then it is necessary to capture these moments on the camera down and then he moved it to disperse, the benefit of one side of the bridge was a kiss!



This pointer left us guys that we did not turn passed to them))) Caring pancake, it would be better in the forest cloth hung where we got lost)))



And finally we got to the camp! uzhastno tired we put the tent and collapsed to sleep!



When we woke up, the first thing a bite and put bathhouse



Well, the next day began the processes for which we actually priperlis this far !!! RYBALOCHKA



I think this comment is not necessary)) Enjoy)



and



In larger)



=)



...



In the afternoon the two of us decided to river rafting through the rapids, had to sail the next morning! At about 7am I use one of them (running through the woods 7 kilometers), and says that you need a car to pick them up because They continue on their own can not go! It turned out that the river for almost the entire route by which they wanted to go, almost all in the rapids and boulders! As a result, they are all wet, all obbili legs, broke the keel of the boat (keel boat with zhostky) awful tired and caught nothing, but extreme grabbed the full program!
The photo repair process keel poksipolom and bandages ...
The main participant of the race through the forest sitting on a stool, and the second conqueror of thresholds oversees repair smoke folded on his knee!



the next day continued fishing!)



One evening we after coming from the water and supper sitting on the beach, relax: alk :, dragging the bait platvu and perch as past us slowly flew a pair of wild swans, had only to take them off the phone ...



such paints can be seen there every night until the morning! What the fuck abroad?)))) !!! Karelia



One day we decided to Max rafting on the rapids, not not where we broke the keel)))
Plus, we were told that at the dawn seen grayling, so we decided to try their luck, and go through the rapids.
They collected a boat with a motor, we have brought the gun (because the road had seen traces of the bear and the bear), zabrodniki and went by car to the bridge from which went to the bottom of the river ...



...



Attempts to catch grayling and not successful))))



Thresholds were 5-6 pieces, passed them without a problem, a little scratched the bottom of the boat ...
On the banks of many beaver lodges and trails, a lot of trees felled ...
The next day began to prepare to leave and smoke fish ...



Not a lot of posing and went home
Return back through the forest where we got lost and Max spent the night !!! It turned out that while we have not reached the camp just 40km, it was a shame as pipets, but then spun so that he could not understand where we are!

Well, in this and all, thank you for your attention)))))
