Water on Gurzuf saddle

Written by Кирилл Ясько 02.03.2007 Plateau Babugan and nearby jajly are waterless enough. One of places where it is possible to expect to find water - pass Gurzufskoe a saddle.

Carpathians on May holidays

Written by Кирилл Ясько 02.03.2007 Me often ask, why for May holidays I shall organize hikes across Crimea, instead of on Carpathians.

Stacking of a backpack

Written by Кирилл Ясько 28.02.2007 about three Years ago I have adopted a fashion to spend stacking a backpack preliminary having thrust in the sleeping pad inside curtailed(turned) by a pipe.

As a result water does not moisten a fabric, and downwards " as water simply rolls down(slides) from a duck ".
