    Russia. North. Kola peninsula. 2018

    And this is what my workplace looks like After stopping, the tent is immediately set up, and after that the cooking process is started by means of a cauldron and a pull-out cooker. Of course, all this is accompanied by mess, which then of course is neatly gathered and cleaned. There is...

    Russia. North. Kola peninsula. 2018

    This is not an echo of war, it is the remains of recent military exercises. The road goes along the coast, and I can’t help myself and take a picture in the “road going into the distance” style. You put such pictures on your desktop, so that later in the winter you can feel sad at the office...

    The main charm of Russia in the complete absence of infrastructure :)

    Russia. North. Kola peninsula. 2018

    We visited Rybachiy’s Defense Museum, but the founder was absent. His assistant tried to tell us everything, but they say that the founder does it much better. Don’t know. We went up on foot to look at the line of the confrontation between us and the Germans. It’s a strange feeling when you...

    Russia. North. Kola peninsula. 2018

    Rybachiy still looks like Rybachiy. There is a huge amount of technical garbage left by the military, and a solid amount of garbage left by off-road tourists. Pretty streams and waterfalls still flow here, it is still the kingdom of stones and moss. The Sable itself is also well prepared...

    Russia. North. Kola peninsula. 2018

    And here’s our convoy. Unfortunately, the fifth crew had to withdraw on the last day, so I head only four campers. Actually, such rough and severe weather suits these places. Can’t even imagine a blue sky with cute curly clouds here! So perhaps it’s even better for entourage When...

    Russia. North. Kola peninsula. 2018

    This is a story of how I took a large and friendly team to the Rybachy Peninsula... I was in Kola peninsula in 2009 on my Ford Ranger, then twice on #uazcargocamperedition (in the summer of 2015 and winter of 2017) and now I'm driving again, but this time in a rather unusual car - GAZ Sable 4x4...

    Russia. Republic Altai. 2019

    You should have only local "B" drivers license from your country. Last time two drivers from Europe (Ireland and Switzerand) were in our Altai trip. There is no problem with this.

    Thanks a lot! The base cost of this 2 week-long trip by Altai will be 5500 $ per car The cost of a “ticket” for our trip is not calculated per person, but for the whole car. The main reason for this is that you get the car for full personal use. The motorhome will become your personal space for...

    After the Czechs we had another interesting encounter. Denis Zabelin on a Patrol and new truck Michelin XZL 255/100 r16 tyres goes to conquer Altai single-handedly. Where else would people from the capital meet? While taking pictures in an abandoned hydroelectric power station and winching...

    Samakha prairie is our final chord in this journey. Almost two weeks are behind us and we only have get to Gorno-Altaysk along the Chuysky tract. We missed most of it, because we encountered it only in Aktash, so for most of the team it will also be interesting and quite beautiful. This is...

    Since we had broken the drone at the last stop, we greatly increased the overall speed of the group and quickly reached the observation point. This is the view we’ve come here for! We won’t go down further, because there’s simply no time for this - hungry kids are waiting for us in the camp...

    So, here we are and here we would spend a couple of days blissfully relaxing. A quality day’s rest in good weather in a beautiful place is half the success of the whole trip, and we already have a small collection of those, so we seem to even exceed the plan. Note how I, taking advantage of...

    Russia. Republic Altai. 2019

    The fact that it rained all day did not upset us, because this day had been planned for the drive and technical tasks. The sable needed resupply of water and gas, and the group needed to buy products for the next stage of the autonomous trip. Besides, the technical vehicle had destroyed the...

    The Lost World of Conan Doyle! No photos and videos can convey the scale of this picture - you just want to scream your lungs out from overwhelming emotions The return trip is always faster and easier, because you go downhill. There is no mobile connection so we can only guess about the...

    So, yesterday we camped in the river valley and we planned a small radial outing to the lookout for today. We decided to leave some of the cars and the tent in the camp, because part of the group decided to go back on foot to stretch their legs and enjoy some hiking. The area here is calm...

    The night passed quietly and calmly, but in the morning an Altai guy came saying that the land was private and we had to pay for cars and for the number of people. That’s not a new thing in Altai but ithought it was no longer relevant. Anyway, we didn’t pay him anything Yesterday, as I was...
