Rafting: what are the acquisition and loss? Karelia, the Alps, China

Three times in my life enough to enjoy, as well as cheer and count the losses. Losses standard: cameras (or soaked and drowned in a Bose prematurely deceased), packages with things, sometimes - torn clothes. And also quite possible manifestations of colds, fatigue, and sometimes you can head is included (well, if her special helmet).

Acquisitions: a test of strength; communion with nature, we call it active, a lot of «abnormal» situations, from cheerful to the more risky; manifestation of efforts, and sometimes excessive efforts; gang labor actions - and this is a skill useful to the life in general.

Karelia - a sort of beauty, almost untouched. From Moscow, a bus goes directly to the base on the river Uksa (Uksunyoki). After a sleepless night, which certainly is not easy to deal with the raft. but you have to move - forward and on the water.

Karelian thresholds

As a rule, always say the same thing: the maximum complexity from 1 to 4. It does not specify that Uksa - extremely capricious river and possible neryadovye events. There had been any frequently - and the first day, when fatigue «Post passed the» very young guys, and «to accept the post» Two women forty years old and a man who, incidentally, has already rowed lying ...

But the mosquito was not so terrible, perhaps assisted by special means. Yes, and rested a couple of times, the most experienced and hard working during the holidays take lightly on his chest ...

The most mysterious thing: Riffle. Water seems to be little, but for the strong. The stones protrude quite ominous: if fly with the swimming facilities can Namyan side (in the worst case - an unprotected head). So with Riffle to keep a sharp lookout. They both still water, and fast, and direct flows, and skew, and even reversed. Also, often, water wells, called «barrels».

On the second day, at the door, and learned to swim in canoes. The threshold for some reason wore a very inappropriate name «Pink Elephant» (native name - Sarnitsankoski). Water, indeed, pinkish - either from the granite reflections, either from fear and admiration in the eyes ...

And on the third day, which is supposed to be a joyous «return» to a place where waiting for a bus, suffered a first minor and nasty, with a purely continuous rain, and then the edge of a stone punctured raft.

All bathed in more than cool water, things are blown. Something to catch something vanished forever, and maybe someone who is far away and fished. But as a result of brainstorming was made an interesting decision to make the raft in a catamaran, which was done. We stretched canvas itself was attached to the rail. It turned into stylish pants shorts, or vice versa.

The second experience occurred in Slovenia. The foothills of the Alps, on the complexity - not a very difficult route, but incredibly beautiful scenery and just a wonderful vacation. A clean and fast river Krka. Remarkable river Soča (SOCA), which is called «the pearl beauty» because of the color of the water. Incidentally, in this river had a severe battle during the First World War. Died there 300 000 people, and in place of the bloodiest battles of the memorial now stands, and in the history books, this episode is called «12 battles in the Isonzo».

The only negative - from the coast some distance to go to the bases from which the alloy, so that you can get tired more from the road than from the white water rafting. Here, without loss could not have done: flatly refused the camera is not the most accurate way wrapped in cellophane ...


But rafting in China (Hainan Island) was the most inoffensive and short - one day. Although we have to use climbing equipment, were elements of rock climbing, which the organizers of the route is very skillfully weaved into the fabric of the alloy. All of this is the category of 1.2. But she had to climb mountains, and even jump into the waterfall ...


On the other hand - very beautiful nature, the lack of midges, beautiful rivers and waterfalls, an abundance of exotic birds and insects (the latter - to the amateur, of course).


Advantages rafting for those who do it sometimes deals - are obvious. Not to mention the beauty of nature, adrenaline (for those who need to recharge), the ability to respond quickly, there are many other advantages.



Joint work, and sometimes co-creation. Compulsory mutual friend and proceeds. It would be nice is always used in our everyday lives. But even in this form of active leisure people are, perhaps, that they themselves lack.
