This Sunday there was a meeting of friends, as now we can rightfully call the graduates of lyceum №1451 (former school №573) and students of school №1078. Two teams that have developed and hardened in campaigns in Karelia, Crimea and Krasnodar, have repeatedly tested themselves for strength on high-altitude simulators in Ruza, became friends and more than once met for common events - playing football, walking. But a one-day trip to the Moscow region was new to everyone. The trip was led by the specialist of the "Travel Laboratory" Natalya Deeva and the permanent attendant from school No. 1078, physical education teacher Lyudmila Gennadyevna Namestnikova. Parents who have long supported the participation of schoolchildren in various projects have also joined.
The team covered the route Snegiri village - Istra river - Miitovskaya station. In Snegiri I managed to visit the military history museum. The starting place was not chosen by chance, Bullfinches are one of the most important historical sites in outskirts of Moscow. In 1941, at this place, Soviet troops managed to stop the offensive of the fascist invaders. The team repeatedly raised the topic of respect and memory for the events of that time, at the program “History of Great Discoveries. People who changed the world ”, the guys got to know the personality of an outstanding person, Viktor Frankl, who survived the concentration camp.
The next point of the route, the Istra River, pleased us with a pleasant meadow, where the participants prepared a hearty lunch recalling their hiking experience. I even managed to rest a little, for this I brought a flying saucer with me. The route turned out to be difficult. In the second part, you had to choose a road among many paths. It was not easy for the guys who were chosen as guides. But in the end, with a little help, they were able to bring everyone to the end point of the route at the appointed time.
Why did they need such a trip? Why get up at six in the morning and drive somewhere far away, depriving yourself of your computer and TV on the last weekend of the week? This command has an answer to this question. And friendship for them is not an empty word, but an opportunity to create a community in which everyone is like-minded, share common values \u200b\u200band support each other.
“We were incredibly lucky - not long ago unknown guys found themselves in a team where everyone shares a love for organization, responsibility, friendly communication and, most importantly, for tourism. I am happy to see how the members of my two teams are happy to meet, communicate, exchange hiking and life experiences ”- Natalia Deeva shared.
“When we decided to take part in the festival, the main thing for us was not competition. Such events, first of all, provide a new invaluable experience when you are simultaneously engaged in several types of tourism. And we were surprised and happy how the opposing teams helped each other in overcoming the path. Many participants have been living in multi-races for a long time, constantly training. They managed to achieve a lot in the field of this kind. This event helped us test ourselves for strength, giving new impetus for development, ”Olga said.
“After the first hour of the kayak competition, we were absolutely wet, but this is a matter of psychology. Either you keep moving on, or you give up. Some teams, for example, if they were very tired, left the race. These difficulties are a great test for your partner. It is also a great workout for non-standard situations. After all, when you are on a hike with children, you simply do not have the right to give up, but go on and support others. And so that children do not fall into despondency, you must be an example for them. And it doesn't matter at all whether you are wet, cold or tired. You need to be ready for everything, to hold on, working as a team, ”shared Marina Fomina.
Our colleagues returned to Moscow tired, but very satisfied. And this means our race to educate the younger generation through travel continues.
The long-awaited ones are coming the May holidays! And the organizers of the State Budgetary Educational Institution TsDOD "Travel Laboratory" do not sit still: they improve their professional skills, broaden their horizons, and support a healthy lifestyle. Every year they surprise us with their long, interesting, risky travels. Today we will tell you about the travels of Lyudmila Sorokina, Yaroslav Kushinov, Olga Lisitsyna and Yulia Tolstova. Each of them chose his own path.
Lyudmila Sorokina and Yana Zhdanova volunteer in the village of Travozna Lhota near small town Straznize. This is the south of the Czech Republic, practically on the border with Slovakia. There are many plantations of special herbs on the hills, from which tea is made. Luda and Yana help to collect herbs. As Lyudmila says, 9 people work for them. There are guys from Finland, Czech Republic, Latvia, Slovakia, Poland, Serbia. We wish Lyudmila and Yana good luck. We are sure that they will be able to actively relax and learn a lot of new and interesting things.
Yulia Tolstova set off on a rather difficult journey to the Caucasus: this is a hike of the 4th category of difficulty along the Teberda, Kuban, Bolshoi Zelenchuk, Aksaut rivers. As Julia said, she wants to overcome obstacles and test herself on the hike. Julia will also enjoy beautiful views and relax from the bustle of the city. We wish Yulia and her friendly team to succeed! Strength and patience!
Yaroslav Kuvshinov and Olga Lisitsyna went to the mountains Krasnodar Territory hike of the 2nd category of difficulty This hike is a continuation of the school - a seminar for the training of tourist personnel (specialization - hiking) and an excellent opportunity to actively relax. The trip promises to be difficult and picturesque. It will pass through the territory natural park "Big Thach". The groups will overcome the Acheshbok pass, climb Mount Bolshoy Tkhach, traverse the Agige and Malye Bambaki ridge, see the waterfalls of the Sakhrai river canyon. The main task of the multi-day training campaign is to increase the level of tourist training of Instructors.
We asked Olga Lisitsyna what she expects from the trip. The answer was: “To reveal the participants of the seminar, to convey the experience of working on projects, to convey the atmosphere of our camps, to tell about traditions and different“ tricks ”, to look at future instructors in conditions of serious trials, well, and personally get vivid emotions from the beloved mountains of Krasnodar region ”.
We wish Olga and Yaroslav to achieve all their goals! And, of course, bright an unforgettable stay!
“We want to give names to all our high-profile records!” - it was under this motto that the last day in the camp ended.
The guys returned from the scenic routes and, under vivid impressions, began to prepare for the award ceremony: the teams created a "Tourist Comic", made a photo presentation about tourist life and showed videos illustrating record takeoffs.
And now it's time to tell in more detail about the great team record achievements.
The members of the "Elite" team assembled the camp in 1 hour and 29 minutes, tied the "Bayonet" and "Stirrup" knots in 30 seconds with the whole team.
The guys from the "Alpha" team, competing with the "Elite", set a record for putting on skis: 1 minute 15 seconds. An important gastronomic fact: they cooked delicious cakes over the fire in 35 minutes.
The Time of Travel teams competed with the participants from the Fishka team. They lit a fire with one match and split a 45 cm log into 4 pieces in 45 seconds. At the same time, the "Fishka" team did 20 push-ups with a backpack on their backs in 1 minute 12 seconds and cut down a dry tree more than 6 meters high in 1 minute.
By competing, the guys strengthened their fighting spirit, self-confidence and friendly attitude. Everyone competed honestly and fearlessly!
In the evening, a real surprise awaited the travelers: memorable gifts from the Travel Laboratory and sweet cakes.
Very soon, friendly spring Moscow will meet the participants of the program. We are waiting for you guys!
Hello dear friends!
Life in the camp continues at full speed! Indeed, the guys have a final day of training camp for a multi-day trip! And he passed actively and brightly. After a morning run, the mood rises for the whole day! We recommend to everyone.
The guys were engaged in the distribution of products, the distribution of attendants. This is a very responsible occupation!
Then there was a seminar "Risk Management", because each participant of the program needs to know what difficulties one may encounter during the hike in order to be able to bypass them. We hope that the guys listened to the instructors carefully and remembered everything.
We continue to gain knowledge in the field of tourism! After lunch, a spinning game "I'm going on a hike" took place in the camp. The guys learned to knot, pull tents, make fires and use trekking sticks. All this took place in the forest near the camp: the bright sun was shining, birds were singing, real spring was felt in everything!
In the evening, all the guys gathered for "Kuban gatherings", got acquainted with the history of the Krasnodar Territory, listened to legends, solved riddles and even learned one dance! All the guys are great fellows!
Backpacks are collected, products are packed, knowledge is gained. All participants are fully prepared for a journey through the foothills of the Caucasus. We look forward to entering the route!
Wait for new news from us!
So the project for the guys who participated in the first race from March 20 to March 29 is over. We will remind that we returned from the Krasnodar Territory last Sunday group of schools No. 2051, No. 888, No. 1078 and gymnasium No. 1811.
This week, all the children will meet again with their organizing teachers and talk about what they have learned about themselves, their friends and leadership during the project. Reflect, remember, analyze. And we invite you to recall the past journey, but having already looked at it through the eyes of the participants who tried to capture all their immediate impressions in the notebooks and diaries of the teams.
Where have you been and what have you seen?
“When we arrived at the base, each of us realized that we were surrounded by mountains, clean air, wonderful weather and no Moscow bustle. There are a lot of beautiful landscapes and wonderful nature ”(“ Druzhba ”team, school №1078, teacher-organizer Natalya Deeva).
“When I was appointed a correspondent for the Gagarka team, I could not imagine how many interesting things I would have to describe with a far from omnipotent ballpoint pen. Every day, despite the schedule and routine, was unique. Every time you think that the best corner of this land is stretching before you, nature presents another miracle. We have paved the way to the magical Krasnodar landscapes on our own ”(team“ Auk ”, school # 888, teacher-organizer Alexander Markellov).
“During the test trip we walked along the Gerpegemsky ridge. It was fun, but we were a little tired. Some of them learned to orientate themselves and figured out a little how to use the map ”(team“ Gnomes ”, gymnasium №1811, teacher-organizer Natalya Remizova).
“On the second day of our trip, we had to climb the Shakhan ridge. This is an incredible place with steep climbs. We had to go there, dividing into groups. The leaders of the day successfully brought their groups to the meeting point, but we were able to meet only two and a half hours later. being only 150 meters apart, we could not find each other. We laughed heartily at ourselves at the end ”(team“ Vata-Vata ”, school # 2051, teacher-organizer Yulia Tolstova).
“Mount Kizinchi conquered us with its splendor and beauty. The way there was difficult, but it was worth it. We have incredible views, breathtaking. When you are there, you feel like a little man at the mercy of a powerful nature. " (team "Vata-Vata", school №2051, teacher-organizer Julia Tolstova).
How did the hike change us?
“We became a team and got to know each other better” (the “Gnomes” team, gymnasium No. 1811, teacher-organizer Natalia Remizova).
“We have learned to listen to others, accept failures and admit them. We learned how to navigate, conquered many peaks and learned how to descend from them correctly, learned how to cook a lot of goodies, quickly set up a camp and make fires, and even discovered many interesting knots! " (team "Friendship", school №1078, teacher-organizer Natalya Deeva)
“A hike is not only admiring the views, but also“ camp ”life and transitions between camps. It was difficult to walk, to organize life too; but we did not go here to stroll through the parks; and even if we didn’t succeed in many things, too much, we worked on ourselves. As a result, the team leaves this magical land with project certificates and a whole sea of \u200b\u200bvivid emotions that will last a lifetime. " (the team "Gagarka", school №888, teacher-organizer Alexander Markellov).
“We learned that the most important thing in a hike is to be able to think ... A hike is a school of life. Every day we go through strength tests, and today, when we have already returned to base, we can confidently say that we have passed them. Our instructors created a very warm atmosphere in the team. Despite the fact that we were far from home and our parents, we felt at home ”(team“ Vata-Vata ”, school №2051, teacher-organizer Yulia Tolstova).
Wishes to instructors and teachers
"Don't know sadness!" (team "Gnomes", gymnasium №1811, teacher-organizer Natalia Remizova).
“We wish all, all instructors to remain as cheerful and kind, and in certain situations strict and wise, and find a common language with each child. Children cannot be deceived if they feel sincerity and support, they will be open to new acquaintances, challenges and discoveries ”(team“ Vata-Vata ”, school # 2051, teacher-organizer Julia Tolstova).
Our magical journey in the Krasnodar Territory has come to an end ... Yesterday all the participants in the educational project returned from their trip to the camp.
The guys are full of impressions, emotions, their eyes shine brightly! The whole day, the teams vied with each other about what an exciting trip they had made, what beautiful places and sights they visited! These were dolmens, waterfalls, rocks, and mountain peaks! Murmuring rivers and a real gorge! Unusual landscapes that the guys did not even imagine!
Upon returning to the camp, the rapid pace of events continued. The teams had to dry the camping equipment and prepare for a creative evening - to make a photo presentation and a scene about the campaign. A funny performance and stories about the journey smoothly flowed into the award ceremony - each participant received a commemorative certificate of completion of the program. It was felt that all the guys were very rallied and did not want to leave at all - I wish I could throw my backpack over my shoulders again and go on a journey with real friends, with whom I already have a lot!
Today the groups are already on their way home, saying goodbye to Krasnodar Territory, tomorrow they will arrive in the capital. In the meantime, parents are preparing to meet their beloved children, we will tell them a little secret: completely different schoolchildren will return to Moscow! No, of course, outwardly they are all the same boys and girls. But these will be truly close-knit friendly teams, sincere, courageous and at the same time independent guys! We are waiting for our travelers and final news from them!
The sun was hiding behind the clouds, evening was approaching, all day long, there was a terrible heat outside, I wanted to feel the evening, summer coolness and finally breathe calmly. But there is still a couple of hours before this coolness, which means that we must move on for now. Towards evening we will set up a camp, make a fire, but that later, but now we have to go.
It all started a couple of weeks ago, summer began and our dreams of a long-planned hike finally came true. Our company of 6 people, two couples and Nastya and I, she is very beautiful, but more on that later. Alena and Kirill, have been dating for about 5 years, as long as I remember them, they always swear, but at the same time love each other, and this trip is not just for them, but Alena does not know this yet. As soon as we get to our destination, to the top of the mountain, from where a gorgeous view opens up, Kirill will nevertheless make an offer to Alena. And one more couple, they have been dating for only a year, perhaps this is the most romantic couple I have ever met. They are the complete opposite of Alena and Kirill, this cute couple Marina and Nikita.
And so, X-day, we gathered with the guys at the appointed point, the weather was "Gorgeous", but no one refused to go, it was raining. We decided to get to the transshipment point by bus, spend the night, and tomorrow we decided to move on. The transshipment point turned out to be a pretty nice place, a couple of houses, a picturesque area and a guard Kuzmich. He is the one and put us all in one house. We went into the house and saw a small but cozy kitchen, a small sofa and a TV in front of it, a staircase to the second floor, and there are three rooms, we were settled with Nastya. Late evening came, the guys went to their rooms, they all evening joked about Nastya and me, one room, one bed, to be honest, I would gladly sleep with her, but I have to lie on the sofa in the living room. I stood on the street and blew smoke out of my mouth, I simply smoked. The smoke turned out to be thick, then almost invisible, and what a wonderful smell from a cigarette at night, these are completely different sensations, at night the cigarette stretches completely differently, you want to pull and pull it so that it does not end, but unfortunately I smoked to the filter, but on the street everything was just beginning. The smell of the night, the smell of freedom drove me crazy, my favorite time of day, I breathe easier and the melody of the street is completely different, I live every day for this, to listen and see the night, no matter what time of year, the night is always beautiful.
I thought about mine and did not notice how someone came up from behind, it was Nastya:
- Let's go to sleep?
- And I'm not staying on the couch?
- Well, if you really want to, stay!
I followed her, she was like an angel that night, before that I did not notice her, like a girl, what a fool I was! She sat down on the bed, took out a bottle of wine from her backpack and handed it to me to open it. Somewhere from behind the walls, groans were heard, this betrayed me even more excitement. But not this time, we talked with her all night, she fell asleep on my chest and it was the best sex in my life, not we, but our souls, made love and I fell in love.
We walked all day, the heat was unbearable, but a little more and we would set up camp. Alena found an amazing place, there they set up tents, lit a fire, I gazed at the fire, the flame either diminished or flared up again, one could observe the dance of two lovers in it, the fire showed all the passion, all the love, the tenderness that was going on between them, I was so staring that I barely heard how Nastya began to play the guitar.
After dinner, everyone went to the tents, this night, I decided to spend under the stars, the sea of \u200b\u200bstars and I bathe in them, clean air, night, fire and stars, Nastya lay down next to me, we fell asleep on the grass, in the open air. A couple more hours and we will get to the place. The guys and I already knew every path that leads us to the place, we ran in childhood with our parents, potatoes in a fire, songs with a guitar, and most importantly, young parents, now they will no longer be able to go such a long way, but we will bring they have photos and videos, time flies quickly, only yesterday, my mother took me to first grade, and now she wants to take her grandchildren to school, but so far, alas, I cannot give her such happiness.
While I was thinking about my parents, Nikita and Marina had a fight for the first time, and they walk in silence, well, well, this pink blues will not be heard.
The moment that our whole company was waiting for, as we expected, we got to the place in the evening, it was already dark, somewhere far away the lights were burning, the noise of a small rivulet was heard, the moon took its place on the pedestal, illuminating everything around with moonlight. Cyril got down on one knee in front of Alena, they should have seen her tears of happiness, this once again proves that they love each other very much. I finally made up my mind and Nastya and I together, but Marina and Nikita remained the same cute, but with scandals, passion began to play in them, as Kirill says.
This trip changed our life, we began to meet more often and spend time together, more often we visit our parents. We began to devote more time to each other, and this is the most important thing! Take care of yourself and your loved ones!
The text is large so it is paginated.
Seven hours of climbing the eastern summit of Elbrus is seven hours of headaches, nosebleeds, bursting eardrums, thirst, watery eyes. And our group broke into the top of the highest mountain in Europe.
In the mountains, the gravitational constant is not constant at all. With a backpack, it increased threefold, with each step it increased exponentially, at halts it dropped the value to Earth. And stopping for the night, people could cover one and a half times the distance in one step, while hovering in the air for a split second. Here the distance is measured not in kilometers, but in hours to overcome it, and the speed - in meters vertically per hour. Here is such an entertaining physics in the mountains.
Everyone who stood on the top of Elbrus (5621 m) wanted relatives, friends and relatives with whom they had to share their impressions upon arrival home, to be close. For everyone understood that it was impossible to describe with the help of countless adjectives from the dictionaries of Ozhegov, Dal and Suvorov combined, or with the help of photographs taken with the most professional camera by the most gifted photographer of the Magnum agency, or with the most active hand gestures at a speed of 800 gestures per minute. seen and convey the felt.
But this thought was far away ... There were nine days left before it ... One day, remembering which, each participant will be choked with emotions.
THE ASCENT OF EASTERN ELBRUS BEGINNED WITHOUT EASY
In the meantime, a motley group, consisting of two brigades, was gaining the first meters vertically from the village of Verkhniy Baksan. The brigades marched at intervals of 10 minutes. Each meter made more and more doubt the adequacy of the assessment of their own strength. But in the first night nobody voiced this thought. The camp was set up on the left bank of the Kyrtyk river.
While preparing dinner, the first foreman asked for a couple of cans of stew. This is 2 x 525 \u003d 1050 g ... Several emaciated bodies rushed to the side, violently ripping apart their backpacks and throwing things, trying to get to the hated tin cans. Someone was lucky ... someone unloaded ...
The first night was hectic. For all. Someone was weaker physically, someone was weak in spirit, and someone's stomach was weakened ...
The brigades were leaving the forest zone. Nothing boded trash and frenzy. During a protracted drive, during which many felt the feeling of a departing consciousness and an approaching fainting spell, the column went to the right into the gorge of the Ulluesenchi River. The trail was gaining degrees, and the foremen did not slow down. The body was sweating.
The worse the better
Only ascorbic acid and dextrose monohydrate in bearish doses could help to keep consciousness. The group fell 2 hours before the pass. The program of the evening included a jacuzzi bath. There was no strength, the veins were torn, some were silent, some were not. Infernal transition. Some of the participants would later call this the most difficult day of the hike.
Day three. The Kyrtykaush pass became a turning point for someone, a break for someone, but for someone it remained just a pass. 3232 m. The feat of the heroes of the Caucasus is immortal in the heart of the people. 3154 m. Pass Islamchat. The brigades were stretching ... The rearguards of the first and second drew level.
The group's path was blocked by a mountain river of glacial origin. The group stood up. The alcohol was brutally diluted with alcohol. Sleep was serene, and the parking lot was illuminated by a myriad of stars.
The next day, the climbers spent the whole day in cares and business: knitting knots, reeling ropes, mending crampons, mastering the technique of rock climbing with top belay, rappelling with it. They dried the bloody calluses in the sun, healed stretched ankle joints, drank narzan and bathed in it. We received additional doses of radiation that were so missing in urban conditions.
The group lay down on the course. Without casualties, she passed the stone bridge over Malka and further along the left bank of the Dzhila Su broke through in the direction of Elbrus, to the frozen lake Dzhikaugenkez. The point of no return has been passed, and the path to civilization now lies only through the eastern peak. This thought could not but excite and excite. The group walked dry for about 8 hours. Dust creaked on the teeth, raised by mountain climbers as they moved along the scree. Dry and unpleasant.
The camp was set up on a moraine at the Kalitsky peak. The only outlet was compote, cooked conscientiously, so that the ice ax was already standing.
TYPES OF CRACKS
In the morning, having increased their grip properties by means of crampons and fastened in bundles, the group went to the glacier. On the way, there were ice cracks, grinning with icicles, but smiling and ready to take bundles at any moment.
There were also sad cracks with a snow gag, there were killer cracks, there were young and old ... There were a lot of cracks, but three bundles stubbornly overcame them, some obediently bypassing, some jumping over, trying not to look down, some crossing the miraculously preserved snow bridge.
Three "guides" were walking, constantly probing the snow-ice cover with ice axes, walking confidently, walking along the slope of Elbrus to the rocks of the Achkyakol lava flow. Today the cracks were not hungry, so by the middle of the day the camp set up at an altitude of about four thousand in the starting lineup. The radial exit with light luggage to the future parking lot of the assault camp was relatively easy.
The group scored six hundred vertically. Six hundred, which in fifteen hours had to be overcome with merciless shoulder weights. The sleep was restless.
At altimeter 4546. Assault camps are set up. Climbers, armed with ice axes and trekking poles, go out onto the ice slope to practice self-retention techniques.
In case of a fall, it is necessary immediately, before the sliding speed has developed, to take measures to arrest:
1 - without releasing the ice ax from both hands, turn on your stomach;
2 - raise the toes of the legs so as not to catch the crampons on the slope (otherwise it will turn upside down);
3 - with a hand bent at the elbow, plunge the beak of the ice ax into the slope, put on it with the whole weight of the body and brake at all costs.
The forecast for the next five days leaves the climbers without an acclimatization day. At the first opportunity, the group starts climbing the eastern summit of Elbrus.
CLIMB EASTERN ELBRUS OR DIE
31.08.09. The clock is 5.30. Systems are tightened, flashlights are on. Having strung themselves on a rope, the climbers moved towards the summit. Step by step, meter by meter ... 4600, 4700 ... 30 minutes, 40, 50 ...
The bunch had about ten meters to rest before the first halt, when the command "Break!" - the climber going second abruptly changed the vector of movement and began to gain speed. In a moment, the whole bundle clung to the glacier, into which 7 beaks were thrust, continuing to press the ice axes into the ice with their whole body. Uniform acceleration lasted for several seconds ... Pulse under 200 ... The rope hummed and pulled the systems of the first and third climbers ... A tremor from the rope ran through the bundle, but there was no chain reaction.
The climbers moved on ... 4800 ... The bunch entered the zone of incomplete acclimatization. The oxygen partial pressure decreased, the internal pressure tried to equalize with the external one. This law of physics in the mountains has not been canceled, especially the brain felt it.
Cessation of oxygen supply to the brain for six to eight seconds leads to loss of consciousness, and within five to six minutes - causes irreversible changes in the cerebral cortex.
The snow tasted terrible ... Because it was tasteless. The climbers poured oxygen into themselves furiously, ripping open their nostrils with the cold air mixture. But even a 30% increase in pulmonary ventilation could not save from hypoxia. Hemoglobin was off scale. Step, second, stop, inhale-exhale, inhale-exhale ... inhale. 5500.
The last seventy meters of the earth were the most pleasant. When the final goal was in sight, when it was 10-15 minutes away, when the climbers realized that they were at the finish line, when they felt the effect of the strongest drug and they feel so great when ...
50 meters, 49.5, 49, 48.5… meters are the most pleasant when your thoughts are already at the top, when you imagine that now, after a minute's rest, a general photo will be taken. When you haven't reached it yet, but you know that now you can only be stopped by a ruptured heart, when a little bit more, but you are sure ...
I am sure that all this was not in vain, that 9 days of stress was worth 20 minutes spent at the summit, and you know that this is not the last ascent. And now you know exactly how you want to die, and those tears that run down your cheeks are tears of great overcoming yourself. You know that if you are covered with insanity, then the last thing you forget, after your own name, will be mountains, for this is never forgotten ...
10, 9.5, 9.1… 5621… 5621 and not a meter lower. Seven hours of stomachs turned inside out, diarrhea, headaches, nosebleeds, bursting eardrums, thirst, watery eyes suffering from lack of oxygen in thigh muscles ... Organisms will not forget this for a long time ...
And the group burst into the eastern summit of Elbrus, highest mountain Europe.
HIKING EASTERN ELBRUS CHANGED US
The assault camp received the descended conquerors with hot tea and warm soft sleeping bags. The night threatened a possible light rockfall due to the gale blowing up on the rocks. These were only threats.
We went along the route through the Irik glacier, the Irik-Chat pass, the Irik river valley to the south-east at a course of 137 degrees. The brigades entered the forest zone. The camp got up after a couple of hours of march to the village of Elbrus. By the fire, in the eyes of the climbers, wild joy, fatigue, confidence and devastation were read. The desire to live on the first day of autumn arose in me.
And let a considerable time pass, I will not forget how I was able to kill doubts in myself.
At 23.45 Moscow time, a passenger traffic crashed into the metro ring. It was belched out of its depths by the branded train No. 003 Kislovodsk - Moscow. The stream was swarming with people. People's heads were swarming with thoughts, emotions, memories, ideas. Standing out from the stream with shoulder weights and with ice axes at the ready, two people walked, who had to share memories and emotions with relatives, friends and relatives. "What a pity you weren't there then ... It was wonderful."
Mountains change people. Even Muscovites became so severe that they shaved with an ice pick, played football in crampons, and descended from the balcony on a rappelling for bread.
Post scriptum: For inside use only.
The new academic year at the Lyceum began with the traditionalXXVII hike-relay... These three warm autumn days have become absolutely unforgettable for all the participants of the hike. Someone for the first time helped to cook dinner over a fire, went through an obstacle course, sang his first song with a guitar. It's amazing how such, at first glance, ordinary events can forever remain in the memory of a person. For twenty seven years, this campaign has been uniting lyceum students of all generations: teachers, students, graduates. Each of them remembers his first relay race. The routes and the hiking program were changed. And only this: eye to eye, shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand - remained unchanged. Walk four kilometers? Easy when walking together. Sawing wood all day? It is not difficult when sawing in turns. Staying on a slippery log? You can when you reach out.
For three days, classes replaced each other in the campaign, passing each other instead of a relay baton red flags. And every day was unique and amazing in its own way. New acquaintances and meetings of old friends. The arrival of experienced tourists: Lidia Dmitrievna Sayenko, Galina Apolonovna Paramonenko, Ekaterina Eliseevna Sazonova, Tatyana Alekseevna Domarosova - became a wonderful gift for the opening of the relay. Who knows, perhaps there are future teachers among today's tenth-graders who will then return to the Lyceum. After all, this has already become a tradition.
The relay ended on Saturday. There were especially many graduates on this day in the campaign. Such adults, independent, these guys have shown in practice what it means to be an experienced tourist.
Old and new songs by the fire. The main thing. Hugs of old and new friends. Forever and ever. Tears of parting. And so an invisible thread of connection between times and generations of the Lyceum was born, stretched.
Hike - relay race - one of the best active types of recreation, which is useful for health. The biggest impression from the trip is the realization that you are on a new stage in the life of the lyceum. The trip impressed with its diversity. That is, we not only passed the tests, but also listened to emotional stories, sang songs with a guitar. Thanks to this, the connection with all lyceum students was felt. We were like one big family. Acquaintances became friends.
The people who were with us that day remained part of us. I would like to thank for interesting stories, songs and a cozy atmosphere of all those who were involved in the trip. This type of recreation will be remembered for a long time for its obstacles and adventures. Our class received invaluable experience, unforgettable sensations and joy.

We often hear about lyceum brotherhood, lyceum spirit, lyceum friendship…. But where does all this come from? I think this does not arise during the many days of Lyceum studies - it is formed in the first days of the Lyceum ...
Yes, there is such a "little miracle" - a high school relay race, when all ideas are formed about their classmates, and about graduates, and about teachers - all at once! The relay hike is a tradition. Since 1990. Those who invented it were real seers: it is here that the Lyceum begins .... I remember it. I know him.
And in the 2016 relay, I was both a participant and a guest. I am both a high school student and a tourist of those first high school years. You know ... I was overwhelmed by the feeling of happiness and ... belonging. Songs, guitar, fire smoke, aroma of tea, hundreds of happy eyes, laughter, crossing the swamp, friends ... - this is one of the Lyceum days, a day filled with joy until the moment ... Thank you all for this day, for smiles, for support, for friendship ... For brotherhood.
And God forbid you to have as many such days in your life as possible. And so that the word Lyceum on the covers of your notebooks, in your "Overheard", in your hearts was written only with a capital letter ... Because it is the First. This is the Lyceum….

The relay hike is our space
Life became even brighter when we touched this space. Words, it turns out, in a rich language are not enough to describe our feelings, emotions, delight. The heart just breaks from the love overwhelming us! Love for the forest, for the fire, for songs with a guitar, for people, for the lyceum, for life!
And now, in order ...
Our 10 "F" already at 8.30 (half an hour earlier !!!) was ready to go even to the ends of the world for joy. We were impatient and waiting for something unusual. After meeting the instructors (Nastya, Sasha, Kirill, Ilya and Nikita) and considering bananas for the cake, tomatoes for salad and tea for tea (J) as something outlandish, we hit the road. Jumping merrily, waving the balls and humming (very loudly, so that the next day they found the ripped off voices) pieces of the "Battery", we walked along the road, and the cars drove by and greeted us with beeps. The start of the day was great!
When we finally walked 4.5 km, the forest began ... such an autumnal, quiet, pacifying ... And suddenly a crowd ran out to meet us ... Someone in a red wig, someone in huge glasses, someone with a guitar at the ready! We immediately recognized the graduates of the Lyceum. Together with them, we went through the tests with dances, music, jokes, jokes! They, already such adults, probably felt like ten graders. And we ... And we were great! Having successfully jumped over a blazing fire (some even more than once), having received a baton (such a small one), we ended up in a sacred place - in a camp. Tents, bonfires, improvised tourist kitchens, which promised us a delicious lunch (thanks to Lyudmila Ivanovna Semyonok and the girls-instructors: Nastya Los and Sasha Mazurova!), Greeted us very warmly.
Everything that happened was like magic, but at the same time everything was real. Our competition ... This is the road to the sun ... Through dusty pants, wet sneakers, falling into a swamp and crawling on the ground ... To victory, to joy, to happiness.
You know, it is not a place that makes a person, but a person - a place. For the first time I understood the meaning of these words. It is the soulfulness of the lyceum, the cohesion of current and former students, the interest and involvement of teachers in tourism that make you a part of something big, as if we all have one great goal. This trip changed us all. We have become closer, better, stronger, happier. Definitely!
P .S. By the way, our trip was reflected in 500 photos! J

This was my first trip! No wonder I waited 2 years. I have never had so many sensations in one day. Everything was so friendly and sincere that there are simply no words! It was easy to go with the song, and besides in good company. At first, as is customary in the lyceum rite, we asked the owl in Lyubuzh to fulfill our desires (I hope that she really grants wishes). Then we went to the camp. There we were unexpectedly doused with water so that we were ready for anything. But everyone's faces were cheerful and happy. Then I jumped over the fire for the first time. Soon we approached the place of our "landing", changed clothes and began to peel potatoes with our instructors. After that we ate a little and went to the obstacle path. Of course, the swamp has caused a lot of trouble: it is wet and cold, and ... funny! I fell into a swamp, but I was not at all upset, because after the fall I am considered a real high school student! Then we were astronauts, climbed ropes, threw a heavy ball at a distance, hung on a rope, swayed on a bungee. After all the contests, we got hungry and went to dinner. After a delicious lunch, you could play volleyball, football, but I went to listen and sing songs with a guitar. This was spectacular! This trip will be remembered for a lifetime.
I would like to thank all the alumni, instructors, teachers and everyone who was with us that day. I fell in love with hiking and will be happy to go to all the others. It's so great! Thank you all for such a wonderful day!

On Friday, my class and I went on a relay hike. It took a long time to get to the place, but it was fun. On the way we talked, recognized each other, had fun, took pictures and, of course, sang songs.
Approaching the camp, we saw strange people in incomprehensible clothes, who later turned out to be our instructors. They turned out to be funny guys who entertained us as best they could, and their songs with a guitar were a great end to the day.
But the obstacle course is a separate topic. It seems to me that it was this part of the campaign that brought our class together so much, and we really turned into one big family called 10 "E". With each new obstacle, we supported each other more and more. The brightest emotions, of course, are associated with the swamp. And in this our instructors played an important role, who in every possible way "helped" us to get out of the swamp as "real lyceum students".
And lunch was also somehow special: the atmosphere of the hike, and we, sitting around the fire, and the confidence that we are one team.
A hike is the very thing that, I think, will be remembered for many years, the thing that showed us that life in the Lyceum is not only study, but also rest, the thing that made me realize that the atmosphere of the Lyceum is not with what can not be compared and that we really are one huge family.
And now I, too, can declare with confidence: "PERSHY - LEPSHY"!
Anna Erosh, 10 "E"
I don’t know about others, but that day I got many, many vivid impressions. I am very glad that in our time we can just go hiking and have fun. The relay hike is a vivid example of this.
I don’t know a single person who wouldn’t like a hike. The relay hike not only brings classmates together, but also classes in general. It is unlikely that we would all have met without him. I was very impressed that graduates do not forget about their native lyceum, campaigns, teachers. Without them, it would have been a completely different event, because it is they, especially at the beginning, that create an atmosphere of warmth and fun. And then, when everyone gets to know each other, the trip becomes the most unforgettable event in the lyceum life. Interesting and funny contests did not leave anyone indifferent. Oh, these falls into the swamp…. So I wanted to fall into it, but, apparently, not destiny. But it was still a lot of fun! It is very difficult to show the heart out of your hands, standing on a swaying log, but this heart probably impressed everyone. And I also want to say that, adoring such trips, I was very glad that they are held at the Lyceum. I went to the lyceum because of them too, because they are the source of the special atmosphere of the first lyceum.

I think the 2016 relay race went perfectly. It was one of the best days in my life. He brought a lot of emotions and wonderful moments into my life and the life of our class. We came across wonderful instructors, and in many respects thanks to them this trip will be remembered for a long time. We were met by graduates of past years. They also did a lot to make our trip as good as possible. There was a special atmosphere in the forest, which you can only feel while being there. There were so many unforgettable moments that you want to experience again. Songs with a guitar, jumping over a fire and the relay itself will remain in my memory for a long time. This campaign seemed to me a kind of dedication to the ranks of lyceum students. I would like to go hiking again and spend time in nature among the trees, inhaling the smoke from the fire.
