The trip in a group to Ust-Sakhrajsky waterfalls

To describe it as cool means to say nothing because it was unbelievably cool! I couldn’t imagine that somewhere in Russia just 200 km away from Krasnodar can be much more exciting than abroad! 

The mountains are amazing !!! Magnificent and powerful !!! 

The food we were eating was cooked on bonfire, and water was from a mountain river !!!!! And NOTHING was wrong with us !!! Because it was so pure !!!!! 

I am looking forward to my next vacation to sign in for a hiking expedition !!! 

Special gratitude and thanks to Andrei, our guide and driver; the whole group were feeling comfortable as at home in the company of this smart and experienced person! 

Thank you again!

Fishing with the Fishing-maykop instructors

Hello everybody! With other guys we went fishing to a pay-pond in the Chernyshov farm to catch common carp. A while ago I couldn’t fish at all. From time to time I went fishing but hardly caught any fish; and when sometimes I caught some – they were funny little ones. Now I am only learning how to fish properly but the catch was poor comparing to the ones I had before. Usually a good catch of crucian carp. However, this time fish didn’t even bite or nibble. Not a single crucian carp. And, it was not just me, who had bad luck, but those who were fishing next to me just as well. Some of them managed to catch a few little crucian carps. One of the men said ‘that old buddy has caught one common carp but on the whole the day was lousy’. I was fishing from the bank using just an ordinary fishing rod with a float ground-angling and otherwise. It seems water in Adygeia and in Kuban region is not warm enough yet, on the fish standards. Personally, I hate when it’s hot, much prefer when it is chilly, therefore I liked this spring but fish obviously have a different opinion and are not used to cool weather – and don’t want to bite. Probably it would have made sense to buy worms for bait before the fishing: in this weather carp would appreciate them more than dredge corn. Though I am not sure, they say that now fish are reluctant to bite in all water basins. On the other hand, I saw scenic countryside and had a great time! 

Thanks a million to Andrei and Makhmud – excellent travel arrangements. We were fishing at sunset on the western bank.

Travelling in a jeep to Adygeia mountains

Although the trip to the rock Chyertov Palets was not in our plans but the impressions we got will last until next year. 

It took us a very long time to get there in a jeep, and it was an unforgettable journey – going up along all these paths in the mountains, the car is roaring and jumping up! We stopped in the forest a couple of times to fill in water. Finally got to the destination !!! 

Too beautiful for words, mouth-watering and heaps of photographs !!!

The farther in the more impressions, we got to the extreme venture-park Mishoko, all of us together decided to ride a trolley between two mountains (frankly, all of us had cold feet), I was the first to try the flight – had I been the second I would have never done it. Again breathtaking but no photos unfortunately …

The whole range of emotions - from fear (while you are being ’dressed’) then elated with flight - the sky is all around and somewhere way below are spruce trees, a river and then comes disappointment when the flight ends! 

Next year we’ll go in for this venture again by all means.

Jeeping in the mountains

Joined the Fishing-maykop team for a trip in the mountains - wild leek and flower paradise! 

Saw the incoming of spring, admired magnificent views, breathed in mountain air, ate vitamin salad.

Excellent rest on a day off work.

Thanks a lot !!!
