00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000 
river Chulyshman, July-August 2006

1 
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,200 
The group reached Novosibirst in different ways 

2 
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,080 
Oleg, Slava and Anton flew by plane 

3 
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,880 
Peter with two catamarans went by train 

4 
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,880 
Dima and Svetlana went by train from Saratov 

5 
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,920 
At 6 in the morning we met at the railway station of Novosibirsk 

6 
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:52,360 
We took a bus to Biisk
Further we used the BiAlTur transport company

7 
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:57,040 
The road part was around 700 km

8 
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,760 
In Biisk in a store we bought all the food

9 
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,560
Kostya Naumov was carrying another group 

10 
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,160
and we were too few for a whole GAZ66 which costs 800$

11
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,480 
Kostya explained to us the way to Bogoyash in detail

12 
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:18,240 
We loaded the things into the car... - 

13 
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,680 
The mistress of the hotel Lyudmila Aleksandrovna found some altaians with a UAZ for us! 

14
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:33,240 
We agreed on 500 $ and .... 

15
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:42,160 
And around one o'clock we started finally! 

16 
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,320 
We saw very beautiful landscapes

17 
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:50,240 
On steppe Chujskaya 

18 
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,560 
and valley Kokorya

19 
00:01:53,560 --> 00:02:01,040 
We made a hook around and had to cross Kokorya river

20 
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:09,760 
Further we didn't get off the road

21 
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:21,520 
At 6 pm we came on pass Buguzun 

22 
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,320 
Tied some ribbons

23 
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:31,240 
and bowed to the Tuva gods 

24 
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:39,800 
Then continued our way to sources of Chulyshman

25 
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:47,040 
We also stopped at the last jurt and transferred some sweets from Kostya

26 
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,560 
And here complexities began... 

27 
00:02:50,560 --> 00:03:04,400 
the Tuva gods appeared not very friendly

28 
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:13,480 
the Sun quickly set, the road turned into a medley 

29 
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:25,480
At 9-30 we passed the second ford 

30 
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:31,080 
and soon lost the cross-country trace 

31 
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,200
Altaians told us they will not spend the night here and also that
gasoline comes to an end 

32 
00:03:34,300 --> 00:03:38,000 
and they left...

33 
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:54,560 
Now we have to go on foot ... unexpectedly! 

34
00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:05,480 
To Bogoyash it is about 14 km from the place where we spent the night 

35 
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:21,600 
We decided to find the cross-country trace lost yesterday and to move along it. 

36 
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:42,720 
Speed is quite good, despite heavy water backpacks. 

37 
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:58,800 
The road strongly winds, bypassing birch and bogs, that exhaust us psychologically. 

38 
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:14,600 
We decided to cut off a way on a bog between two lakes a bit to the south of lake Bokse

39 
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:25,680 
The bog was superficial, but very soft, therefore it was hard. 

40
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:36,440 
Then we go uphill, onto a ridge, drinking water comes to an end, and it's hard to breathe 

39 
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:46,680 
- the throat dries up. The sun intolerably scorchs, and on this background we don't even notice mosquitoes. 

40 
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:52,360 
In comparison with the forthcoming river there are few. 

41
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,000
"Still 10 km left... of unexpected footwork.

42
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000
... of unexpected footwork.

42
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,000
The view is beautiful...

42
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Probably, lying on a sofa at home, we shall enjoy it

42
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:19,000
But now I don't like it at all..."

35 
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:29,560 
About half past twelve we stopped for dinner, 

41
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:40,640 
drank some water from a streamlet, that made us feel much better. 

42 
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:50,480 
At about 2 pm we move on

43 
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:59,080 
The road departs aside and long goes along the river, 

46 
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:14,480 
However it's convenient – cool water refreshed all of us. 

47 
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,480 
The rest of the way caused no problems.

48 
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:27,480 
We stopped for the night on a small shelf in 100 m from Bogoyash river.
