Trekking mosaic

Report on the campaign in the Crimea during the May holidays Romantic Collection 01-09 May 2013 Author: Svetlana Sumy. Rating: 4.5 It was my second hike with OutdoorUkraine and hopefully not the last. Every day was so full of events and experiences that, alas, coherent narrative with a detailed description of all the places I did not get (yes on the site and everything is described in detail!). Therefore, I suggest just such a "mosaic." Why OutdoorUkraine? Mountains have fascinated me since childhood. But his visit there often is not able to . And so do some hiking ... First , there is nobody : holidays with friends usually at different times, objections like "better to lie on the beach ", " hike - it's cool , but only with his company, and not with strangers ." Secondly, I have a weak physical training . Third, the lack of equipment. Therefore the site OutdoorUkraine became for me a real gem : the company does not need to be collected for the campaign , there is an experienced and caring instructor who will take and where it is necessary , and will help in case anything happens , and equipment can be rented , and select the appropriate date . When finally decided to send a request , I immediately came profile , and then a letter with detailed instructions . Contact us by e-mail is kept constant, Kirill called and specified the necessary questions . With a meeting at the station also had no problems ( although my train was late !) . Overall , thank you , OutdoorUkraine, what you have! Which trek to choose? Perhaps the choice of route is very individual. For me, the ideal - a 9-day trip on the last day when the soul is still willing to continue, and legs are slightly give way . Last year's campaign , "Water and Stones XL» can be described by the phrase " see everything! ". This year's campaign "Romantic Collection " held a more measured , we are more relaxed , water and firewood were abundant. What is liked more ? Both ! hiking weekdays So , the campaign "Romantic Collection " began . Our group Has reached by bus to the village of Polyana, we have once again checked water supplies , and drove off . Somewhere in the distance , beyond the forest , could see the outlines of the rocks where we were , according to the instructor, had to walk in the evening . On the first day , to be honest , it was pretty boring to go . Monotonous deciduous forest , a thick layer of dry leaves on which foot is slipping , then fail in some places fallen trees and the absence of trails. In general , a pleasure for the amateur, who described it as : " Boundless century wood , breathable cool ; sunbeams piercing the thick green canopy , soft carpet of leaves, in which the legs literally drowning , and the twittering of birds everywhere." Yes , it was , but everyone has their favorite places , its campaign goal ... On the first day my goal was to quickly get to the spring and get to bed .
