2011.05 - Meshera offroad and Svyatoe lake

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, [info]binadamu, [info]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.

Some of our adventures required on-site repairs.


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


[info]binadamu knows how to operate soldering iron in any situation.

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

Our cook is also a musician. Quack quack


Evening roads…


Twitting the news :P
