Report about backpacking trip 2 difficulty category (participation)

Our trip began at night of May, 3, 1991 from railway station Sverdlovsk. We left train in 6.40 next mornings in Chelyabinsk where we move to electric train Chelyabinsk-Miass. Be careful Miass rather artful city. We should leave at station called native “old station of Miass” and on the nail move to train Miass-Uchaly which wait us in this station. But we do not search for simple ways. At once we have jumped out from electric train Andrew has confidently ordered “Back!” We believed native of Chelyabinsk and quickly dropped back and reached to the basic station of Miass.
There we should reached Miass II by bus up and get the other train to Uchaly. But again, we listened Andrew and left the bus not in Miass II and “old station of Miass” where our first train already left. As the result - we have missed both trains.
For start our hiking trip it was necessary to run about over Miass with backpacks to find freight train then negotiate with foot-plateman and reach up Uchaly in a back cabin of the locomotive.
Our trip began with lot of mistakes and I made a mistake too. I put on new gumshoe and get good corns. For repairing my mistake I found piece of linoleum and made an insole by my knife then by same knife I pierce corns and my life became beautiful.
All right, at 3 p.m we reached Ucahly! The first we passed on dusty road through the village Urgunovo near the lake Urgun. Then crossed small river near village Kalkanovo and stayed for night. Mountains it is not visible yet, around us flat, like a table, Bashkiria.

Перед хребтом Аваляк
We rose at 7.00, had breakfast and at 9.20 left. For the morning exercise we climbed on rather high mountain. On a descent made some photographs, looked round in the field-glass and walked according azimuth, forced some bogs and branches of river Belaja, on one of branches had dinner and took the sun. After dinner we passed through a saddle of ridge Avaliak. It was rather difficult in fast rate to get on Avaliak.
This trip became really sports. Maybe it happened because the head of a trip Victor Alekseevich Olenev is the master of sport. Though he is not young but walked quickly.

Today we overslept and got up at 7.40 then after breakfast walked light to highest point of ridge Avaliak (1142 m). Unfortunately we cannot find this point but doesn’t doubt because we saw beautiful panorama of ridge Iremel. When we returned back to parking and about hour looking for our backpacks, quite bad “amusement”. After dinner at 17.20 we come to saddle of ridge Iremel between mountains Big and Small Iremel. The ridge of mountains settles down "horseshoe" and we went, not losing height on this "horseshoe" and if have gone down downwards will be difficult to through bogs which in lowland. In 2 hours we reached saddle and stayed the night

And in the evening, after descent in base camp, we ascended on mountain Small Iremel. There was interesting «the lunar landscape» on it and little lower we found a last year's cowberry which we with pleasure had a meal.


May, 8, 1991
Since morning on a good track we quickly reached settlement Tjuljuk and decided didn’t wait the bus there and walked about 5-7 kilometers then we caught the passing lorry and little ride. Then walked along road to settlement Sibirka about 10 kilometers and fixed a camp.

May, 9, 1991
After breakfast we continue walked along the road to settlement Sibirka along ridge Nurgush. Then we passed along ridge Moskal and decided to ascend on anonymous mountain height of 1220 meters. Before ascension we had dinner, hid backpacks and started ascend. During our ascension I constantly marked trees by my knife (the best way to find backpacks). On the peack of mountain I found welded of small pyramid and put our message inside (maybe somebody find it further) and then went down precise along my on labels and quickly found our "precious" backpacks.
Again we are on the road to Sibirka. We walked a half an hour and saw from road settlement and stayed the night before settlement about 2 kilometers. In this evening we prepared for celebratory supper and gone to bed. At night I heard voice of wolves near us.

May, 10, 1991
This morning came in Sibirka and found out that the bus departed to Satka at 11 but actually it left at 10.35. So to come beforehand sometimes it happens not bad. In a village the drunken forester approached to us, demands our documents and the routing book but Victor Alekseevich gave him nothing because we could got lot of problems. There were fires in a wood and he can accuse us on it and if he takes our documents and put it in his pocket we couldn’t go away. In five minutes his wife appeared and ordered him “Go home!” it save us from long and tiresome conversation with him. He came teetering and quickly disappeared.
At 12 hours we arrived in city Satka, bought tickets up to Sverdlovsk. The train departed at 19.10 (Moscow time) and goes through Druginino where at the morning we move on an electric train up to Sverdlovsk.
