Well, the spring is here and once again we could travel to some remote places without fear of frozing of our tails. So, for a starters, binadamu, krylcw and yours truly decided to see some parts of Meshchera Lowlands, most notably Svyatoye (Saint) lake.

And as always with remote places here, getting there was a bit of a challenge. Not a hardcore type of challenge, but still requiring something of a off-road capability from a vehicle (if any) or, well, rubber-boots :P.

Not the hardest moments by all means, just the one when our little
team was leisurely shooting video, not working on winch and other
heavy-duty off-road equipment.


Fossil of the soviet time, the inscription reads
"Zone for recreational tourism and stabilization of nature complexes"


Some of our adventures required on-site repairs.


The winch remote cable was damaged and in need of some soldering...


binadamu knows how to operate soldering iron in any situation.


Our platypus *__* cook krylcw and our cooking fireplace


Off-road travel could be like this too... there are no roads on a lake


On one of lake's islands





Our cook is also a musician. Quack quack





Evening roads...


Twitting the news :P
