Do you like mountains?
Written by Юлия Сербина из ХарьковаIn mountain to Crimea I any more for the first time, and here itself went for the first time and consequently experienced a little. Though it has been assured, that the company will be good, and was not mistaken. Day the first. Gathering, the acquaintance, the first spending the night
Place of a meeting the Simferopol station, time of a meeting - 12.00. Despite of weather forecasts, morning in Simferopol was solar. And though the sky periodically tightened(delayed) clouds - the good beginning was necessary. Already approximately at 11.30 near left-luggage offices the group which met Light has started to gather. Cyril and our conductor Andrey have arrived later.
The group has gathered international: Russians Maxim, Anton, Nikita, Egor, Leonid from Moscow), ukraintsy (Natasha and Denis from Gorlovka, Stas from Pervomaisk, I, JUlja, from Kharkov), Byelorussians (Light, Andrey, Uljana from Minsk) and the German. Us were 14 person with a conductor, 11 adults and 3 children.
After brief discussion that will be in a hike, have disassembled products in a hike from a huge bag. And when already everyone were on a place - have gone.
By a trolley bus have reached to Sosnovka and at once, having curtailed(turned) into a wood, have begun the way on <to a red track>. At the first small stop in a wood on us hungry and malicious mosquitoes have attacked, therefore have decided to not sit up and have gone(send) further. When the footpath strewed by a red stone, and a wood have ended, we have seen to what we should aspire - bottom plateau chatyr-дага.
Thanks trekkingovym palkam: owing to them rise has seemed not such long and not such heavy. (all heard?) mountains around of us were from above already well visible. And what there beauty! For a dinner we became near a spring. Water in it(him) was simply ice, and cold the penetrating wind was same. The sky has started to tighten(delay) clouds. All bystrenko have started to be warmed.
Further our way already laid to parking on spending the night, and in a cave by which passed(took place), have solved go tomorrow. First our spending the night was near a grotto Long on bottom plateau chatyr-дага. There already was and kostrishche and a few(a little;little bit) fire wood. After have put tents, have brought water and have made a supper, we have started to get acquainted, and then to discuss plans next day.
Day of the second. A cave, on road with clouds, the Beechen glade.
At night there was a rain, coldly, therefore in the morning all have risen early and have got out from cold palatok in cold, wet embraces of clouds on a plateau and have gone(send) to drink tea. After that the group was divided(ed undresswas): a part from us have gone(send) to cave emine-нбїУ-Х«ЯбУ, and a part have remained in camp. The condition of the nature varied everyone some minutes: the wind-calm-cloud-drizzling a rain-sun-again a wind, probably, such happens only in mountains.
The cave has made unforgettable impression: huge various halls, majestic stone columns, stalactites and stalagmites, natural wells, underground lakes, legends and histories:
After we have returned to camp and as soon as we had breakfast and have collected things, the rain has gone, and almost up to a following halt in Yew gorge it(he) did not lag behind us. After a beautiful place in gorge we were waited with test: rise on east slope chatyr-сбъб where us <has covered> with a cloud. It was cold, it is windy, nothing is visible, but an adventure! But, despite of completely not years(summer) wind and absence of visibility further the extended hand, we have overcome also this piece of a way.
Above, where it became absolutely cold, we were warmed with a dinner (what tasty sandwiches in mountains during transition seem) and the most vigorous have reached a stick designated a mark of height 1453м. After heavy and long rise there was not less long, heavy and beautiful (!) descent(release) (on a plateau, by shelter from stones, and further downwards-downwards-downwards to a wood). On road we were warmed with the sun, and we had a rest already among fantastic beechen trees (beeches in Crimea - my favourite theme, it is simply improbable beautifully and fantastically!!!).
Further through the Hangar-breaker to the Beechen glade, the adventure was not less fascinating: descent(release) through a beechen wood, bypassing the tumbled down trees and sliding downwards on wet foliage from a rain and the ground. In the evening near a fire all usilenno was dried with wet socks-кроссовки-trousers, and then listened Andrey who played on a guitar. (Ur to people who in such madnesses still and take a guitar, and the main thing bear(carry), and then still and the desire to sing remains with them!)
Day the third. A valley of Ghosts.
As well as it was promised, this day was the heaviest. In the morning we have gone down to lake Kutuzovskomu which even close reminded greater(big) luzhitsu, and at all lake, have admired sekvoevoj a grove and have gone to podnozhju Demerdzhi on old Crimean road (as it has appeared, the footpath on which we went, at all a footpath, and the bridge, and under it(him) once was the river), through not rough mountain rechechki, on лавандово-чайно-pink fields. Near Demerdzhi the group was divided(ed undresswas): the part of group has gone around, and the others have decided to not search for easy(light) ways and to go to parking through the Valley of Ghosts. We send(have come) on a spring of the Youth, have made photos near a known stone and a hazel grove.
On a way considered(examined) interesting and unusual statues in the Valley and to go it was even more interesting, tried to solve riddles. But as soon as has begun seryoznyj rise, had no time for conversations. Rise was heavy, long, wearisome and hot. In some places went on narrow tropke, keeping for <walls>, somewhere prodiralis through bushes, during any moments it seemed, what legs(foots) will not go further, experienced, what waters remains a little, and to go still long and zharko, but, despite of all it, certainly, admired beauty of the surrounding nature, saw eagles, looked at cities and posyolochki which have remained far below, and took pleasure (and differently, what for there to clamber?!).
On Southern Demerdzhi we have overcome terrible to be gone to reach a triangulation at height 1194м. Then had a rest and encouraged, that remains very little, we have gone(send) through Demerdzhijskoe a saddle to turstojanke Dzhurla where have remained on spending the night.
Our separated children(guys) send in addition(have reached) before parking before us, surveyed territory and Martin has found the canister with gasoline (defined(determined) on a smell). All were delighted to that fact, that the fire will quickly inflame, we shall quickly weld(cook) a supper and we shall quickly eat. It was the whole representation, when it(he) bore(carried) the canister to kostrishchu to splash fuel on fire wood, and we in horror ran up. As everything, and especially our Martin, were disappointed, when the fire has not inflamed at all. Actually, in the canister from under gasoline there was a water and Martin has simply wetted fire wood. The comment of the editor: to you has largly carried, that in the canister there was a water. To pour fuel on fire wood extremely dangerously - gasoline quickly evaporates and forms an explosive cloud.
When we all have put camp, have dissolved a fire and had supper, we had an evening of solving of riddles, games in <Contact> and, certainly, for polunochnikov songs under a guitar and the huge star sky. As well as the last two evenings was at all zharko and from a fire left regretfully, that it is impossible though part of heat to take away in tent.
Day the fourth. Falls Dzhur-Джур.
On Northern plateau Demerdzhi we have gone(send) to gorge Haphalskomu. And again change of a landscape: a solar hot huge plateau, with the broken or burnt trees, dusty road, stones with bright orange spots(stains) of lichens. Having gone down in gorge (it seemed, that descent(release) will not end: in the middle and so not especially precise tropki the tumbled down trees, abrupt bends among trees and stones, clinging to branches, and sometimes almost moving down downwards). Andrey-conductor invigorated us with shouts: <the Falls! A dinner! More likely!>. It helped(assisted), very much it would be desirable to go more likely, but descent(release) was not from simple.
When we have overcome the first part and had dinner, have gone(send) easier and more quickly further. And when we have gone down to the river, it was clear, that it of that costed(cost). When we went along top falls Dzhur-Джур saw how small inflows and vodopadiki merged in one noisy, raging stream; that already the river became wider. When have reached a bath of the youth, tired and vzmokshie, there was a desire to plunge into ice water (+6-8!!!).
Here the group was temporarily divided(ed temporarily undresswas) on two parts: someone was redeemed and has gone forward, and four have remained and have lost the way, absolutely a little bit. To be exact have not lost the way at all and instead of going down to a falls, we on a fork have casually gone(send casually) further to a place as it has then appeared, our spending the night. But our valorous and careful instructor has not allowed us to be lost finally: has found us and has deduced(removed) to tremendous falls Dzhur-Джур. It(he) amazed with beauty and magnificence (even in spite of the fact that everyone have been captivated photographed near it(him) and tourists bathing in it(him)).
Having admired beauty of a falls, we have gone on parking near a falls. After a supper had a good time game in <Cow> (or <the Crocodile> more, or <the Iron> as it is pleasant to whom) - showed and guessed words. Undoubtedly best of showing were children.
This day we had variants: if we on the eve have reached a source Ah-бЅС¬Яї® for the fifth day it would be possible to go on karabi-n®ЅТ, but we have remained near a falls, therefore and next day has been decided to go by a source at once in CHiginitru. On parking near a falls to us pribludilas a dog in searches of meal, and in gratitude that we have fed it(her), it(she) has decided to follow us and us to protect. The road was hot. Burnt the sun, and when we send(have left) from a cool of a wood at anybody does not remain doubts, that now - the hot summer and the sun in the cloudless sky will not regret us.
For a dinner we have stopped at the Roadside spring. And after a dinner when have gone(send) through pines, the present(true) mushroom hunting has begun! There there was a huge quantity(amount) of greater(big) butter. Denis and Natasha as inveterate mushroom pickers, have suggested to collect mushrooms and to weld(cook) from them for a dinner soup. But even, despite of the tightened(delayed) road and excitements of a conductor, that we such rates shall not reach on spending the night even by the night, on parking in gorge we send(have come) very much early.
To the big surprise, the river from which we should take water, has dried up, but fortunately, above on current there were small streamlets so to go further in searches of parking with water it was not necessary. This day on parking by all time has sufficed both to put tents, and to have a rest, and pozagorat. I have had time to specify still time at Andrey names of all points of a route, all parking and small rivers, Maxim who sat next and held in hands listing of a route from a site, accompanied with all it is comments and demanded explanations why we here there have gone(send) so, and here is written differently. Last evening together. Exchanged addresses and phones.
Then there was an early supper, and besides a porridge, was still and mushroom soup. Meal was much, even a dog who has reached together with us, have fed. The parking lot was very beautiful - from three parties(sides) of mountain, and the remained space borrowed(occupied) a seen sea - but very-very windy.
Day of the sixth. Fishing.
Under Andrey's playful forecasts last spending the night was coming the coldest, but this night all have perfectly slept, since was unexpectedly warm. There was last our general(common) breakfast in the morning. Our German Martin last days has started to accept all more and more active participation in a public life of camp. All began that it(he) enclosed(laid) fire wood in fire and arranged to us " pioneer fires ". And for the sixth day has made to us a breakfast and besides has knocked polovnikom on a cover of a kettle as liked to do(make) our conductor when the meal was in the morning is ready. In general, has completely joined collective, having adopted private rules.
After a breakfast still time has told Andrey-conductor, how where it is better to whom to reach. Andrey with a guitar have played and have sung to us last song in this hike. After that we have gathered and have directed in Fishing, mentally having said goodbye with mountains. To go was zharko, we have gone down to vineyards, the lake have passed by, and have started to bypass mountain the Daddy-ЇУ on the dusty travelled all over road. Here already we had a rest, even with backpacks behind a back, despite of a dust and the scorching hot sun. We knew, that the sea and a civilization already beside. In some hour we send in addition(have reached) up to Fishing, at station have bought(purchased) tickets on marshrutki: who where, in shops have bought(purchased) missing meal, and the main thing - drinks, and have gone(send) to celebrate the termination(ending) of a route on a beach, to cold, but to the long-awaited sea.
Gratitude and greetings
I tried to make my report not so long though, actually, to tell it is possible very long. There were many ridiculous and amusing moments. There was an excellent(a different) company of good people. There was a beautiful nature, there were rivers and mountains. But besides I wish to tell many thanks to Cyril which has organized this all, and separate many thanks to our conductor to Andrey which conducted us, supported(maintained), acquainted with beauty of the nature of Crimea, chose for us the most comfortable parking and told to us the most improbable histories about "awful" rises and "terrible" descents(releases). Its(his) phrases, like: " To go crazy! " Or " in the big family niht kljuven klats-клац " we with laughter recollect till now. Thanks! It was healthy!
