It is considered to be that the brightest impressions remain with the person from the first trip to mountains. Is it truth? I can not answer this question yet because I have gone there once, but I hope, that it was not a last time. I would like to tell about this trip.
Frankly speaking the offer to go to Ural Mountains has not caused in me a storm of emotions and delight. The first thoughts were that: «for certain I will freeze», «there will be many mosquitoes», «what can be interesting in mountains?» But, nevertheless, after some days the consent to this not so tempting (as it seemed to me at that point in time) an adventure has been given.
It was necessary to reach the first crossing by the car. In ten minutes it became terrible that I have agreed to go: in the car awfully shook, it was very hot. «I will not live up to the end if all will continue like that!» - such thoughts occurred. The road seemed me dreadful, but the amazing property of the person named a habit, has served its purpose: after two hours I have ceased to notice jolting, became cooler, in general to live became more cheerful. First I paid attention only to own discomfort, but later, having looked in a window, I have simply been amazed: as our northern country is fine! Beautifully all: plains, mountains, woods. All is simply faultless, is not spoilt by a civilization, ideally and purely.
Islets of the snow which have not thaw still became the first bright impression. Certainly, we have not failed to be photographed in these «white lakes». In Inta it was about thirty degrees, therefore it was strange to get to a place where snow still lies.
Further time has flown by imperceptibly: I tried to catch every instant, each beautiful "picture" and to embody it on the camera.
In four hours we have reached the river Kosju where should change on boats. Now it was necessary to prepare all for an alloy (it was necessary to float 16 hours). When my companions changed clothes, inflated boats and put things, I have decided to walk a little. I never was interested in the nature though I liked pictures with beautiful landscapes. But the landscape of National park « «Jugyd ва»» has simply amazed my imagination. I have never thought that I will do photos which friends and acquaintances will admire later. Then all was interesting to me: each floret, a branch, a small insect which is getting over from a blade on a blade. There was nothing by what it would be possible to be unaffected.
But time has come to go to a way. Having returned to friends, I have seen ridiculous (at that point in time) a picture. Someone has pulled long rubber boots, on everyone was on some jackets. «Really I too should put on all it?» - I have asked. In five minutes on me there were already 2 sweaters, 3 jackets, any packages standing … It seemed that all these measures superfluous. Then I could be compared only to cabbage.
So, we were floated. I did not think at all as it can be terrible! The river was not so deep, but it would not be desirable to turn over nevertheless (water was very cold, in a boat all our things). Landscapes caused contradictory feelings: the storm sky – trembling, rocks, moss-grown - delight.
I have not had time to get used to water as there was first small "failure". We have got to whirlpool under a rock. The boat has scooped a lot of water, so it was necessary to stop to get rid of it. You know, the feelings tested by me during "failure", it is simply impossible to describe! Probably, for the sake of a similar drive some people also risk the life, going for a drive on snowboards, mountain skiing, being alloyed on the storming mountain rivers, being engaged in diving.
Me have quickly calmed promises that such any more will not be (by the way, it were only promises), and have resulted in feelings. It has been decided that shocks for the first day will suffice, and we have stopped on spending the night. I at all did not feel a cold, but it has appeared that actually have very much frozen, all shivered. It was slept simply remarkably at night: at all did not disturb mosquitoes, it was very warm.
Next morning we have made a marching breakfast and have again gone to a way. This time any more was not so terribly and coldly. On the contrary, I received improbable pleasure from kinds, weathers (by a dinner has stretched clouds and the long-awaited sun has looked out).
To me it was not believed that I, the person who has not got used to productive leisure, city to the core, am in this wonderful place. The greens there are brighter, the sky is purer, water is more transparent (it is visible even floating fishes).
But the meeting with duck family became the brightest impression of that day. Sometime you saw such in the wild nature? I - was not present. Having noticed our boat, the duck has departed at once. Ducklings were so small that have not learnt to fly still, therefore they have started to bolt from us on water "at full speed". However, one бедолажечка has lagged behind a family. But, of course, careful mum has not thrown the duckling and has returned behind it. What it has caused affection.
Further all passed according to plan: have made some stops, have floated the distance defined on that day and have stopped on spending the night. Next morning it was terrible to leave tent. It is necessary to rise at 4 o'clock to be in time on a train. Barrels a penetrating wind so it was necessary to float in a blanket. But the sun has soon risen, and all were warmed. There anybody even did not think of means from burns, appear, that it is impossible to burn down. In vain we were so imprudent. Have burnt down all. But it would be desirable to note pleasant tone and colour of this northern mountain sunburn!
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon our group has reached a place where have combined boats, have distributed things and duties, it was necessary to go five kilometres on already scorching sun. During this moment it seemed that to come back home to me it is not fated. But I consider that kept the good fellow. We have reached a substation, it is necessary to wait only trains.
Having returned to Intu, I could not believe in any way that have survived in this terrible, fascinating, bewitching adventure. But I can tell that the first some days I have been overflowed by impressions, shared them with all. After that all acquaintances and friends have aimed to go too to Ural Mountains that own eyes to see all about what I it have told.
In summary it would be desirable to notice that an alloy on the river - an excellent way of rest for all family. The majority of routes on the rivers of Northern Ural Mountains concern easy categories of boating, therefore such adventure will bring weight of pleasure. You float on the river, you enjoy the nature, dawn and declines, you listen to nature sounds. I warrant, nobody will regret about such trip!
