Rafting Yakutsk – Lensk – Yakutsk (2014)

Rafting Yakutsk - Lensk - Yakutsk

Rafting on the river. Nyuya planned in advance, even in 2013, I dreamed and made plans. But at the same time and wanted to see p. Lena in the range from Lensk to Yakutsk, since I’m in those places was not. Therefore, it was decided to go rafting on n. Nyuya North along the river. Nyuya to p. Lena and from there go to Yakutsk. Time at all was given month. The path is not close, so the amount of equipment simply terrifying. In the photo – the process of loading all of our stuff in the car, which is to throw us to the point of beginning of the alloy.

The task – to push nevpihuemoe – seemed to us impossible, so we decided to take one hundred grams, which is not very encouraged by our driver (sitting on top).

After repeating this procedure a number of times the machine finally loaded!

During the next four days we drove on the highway in the direction of Viluy Lensk. The road in good condition, but the machine did not allow downloads to go fast. Dear we entertained ourselves photoshoots and absorption of large amounts of beer.

When it seemed that the road will never end, we achieved the goal – the starting point of the alloy. The village of North Nyuya stands near the bridge over this river. From the village to the town of Lensk about 20 km. Next, the unloading process.

Finally, you can cook a complete meal of two dishes – soup and pasta! In a way had to be content with instant noodles and cakes that caring wife put on the road.

Evening …

Rafting Yakutsk - Lensk - Yakutsk

Catamaran assembled and can go to sleep. Tomorrow is a hard day. You must go to the Lance noted travel and buy gasoline, as well as bread and other life-saving “products”. Basic provisions we bought back in Yakutsk, since said that prices in Lensk slightly higher than ours.

Short-lived bid farewell to the driver and co-driver, and so we pushed off. Start GPS navigation.

That’s all. Passed the point of no return, we are now on their own.

Here’s a picture I think I observed when I sit at the tiller of the catamaran.

River Nyuya on my impressions reminds p. Blue, and a little bit – Buotama bit – Amgu. Very calm river, clean water, small rocks on the banks.

Sometimes came across a very unusual places. Here waterfall flows directly out of the sand.

But unmelted frost in a narrow gorge.

On the way we stopped at Nyue little fished, swam and sunbathed.

Rafting Yakutsk - Lensk - Yakutsk

Everyday life our organized very thoroughly, as I am of the opinion that the work we do not have to be uncomfortable – it is not at rest in the hike. Therefore, starting from the base to the fire, separate tents for each member of the expedition, the total tent and zaknchivaya gasoline generator and a laptop – all we carry with us.

Yes, by the way, was the canvas tent with a stove, but it fortunately is not suitable. But it is better let it be – and is not useful, rather than vice versa.

Serious obstacles for rafting we have not met. Were protracted shallow shoals, where they had to drag the catamaran, but it was not often. About 30 km from the mouth is a pontoon bridge that had passed round. Helped us suffering from the heat and boredom hard workers who fortunately were having fun at the bridge. Nyue started rafting on July 8 and July 13 we reached the river. Lena.

Nyuya left astern, then our path runs along the river. Lena. Completed a total of about 200 km, there is still about 1000. The mood while fighting.

After p. Nuits Lena seems incredibly broad. Shore just hit its grandeur. To me, the more beautiful and less beaten than Lena Pillars. No inscriptions “I was here” and others.

Sail by small villages.

Passing boats greet us whistles. We go through the channel, as this part of the river a stranger to me. It should be noted that the situation on the river is very good and easy to read. All cross-sections are equipped with beacons and even at dusk clearly visible. In addition, the rate of flow in the channel above and gives our catamaran additional 3-4 km / h, which allows us to pass on the day when the 100, and when a little more away. The average speed is about 15-13 km / h.

One of our stops. In the background I put Toli toli check the network, and Lena – our hydrobiologist – parses the sample.

Since the villages we do not go, spirnogo stocks run out, so you have to dilute the alcohol. It should be noted that the alcohol after long-term storage in plastic cans gets premerzky smell, from which we are trying to get rid of activated carbon.

As we move down the smoke begins to appear. By lunchtime, it is scattered, but here begins the wind and sea.

At first it was small.

Then unpleasant.

Rafting Yakutsk - Lensk - Yakutsk

Well, then just unbearable. Speed immediately fall, catamaran swinging from the nose to the stern. Motor starts prohvatyvat air that irritates me incredibly. We have to move the cargo to the stern to reduce the effect podbrasyvvaniya backside. In general, it is unpleasant, but tolerable.

Weather starts to deteriorate. First collected small clouds.

Then they decide to become threatening clouds.

It starts to rain. He is incomprehensible charges. Below are some we got from some managed to escape. Thunder and lightning.

But here’s the storm ends and begins again calm.

With him there is smoke again.

We take this opportunity to call in estuaries Tuolbachan (it is in the picture above). Very clean and clear water where the fish swims slowly.

This estuary Tuolba.

Rafting Yakutsk - Lensk - Yakutsk

Such an interesting place, but spinnigovaya fishing have not been successful. Not one bite. Strange. Maybe the water temperature (22 degrees) forced the fish to move upstream tributaries? How do I know …

The smoke is getting thicker.

He makes the sun in some unearthly.

With the smoke appears midge. She reaches into her eyes, flickers in the face, hammered into your mouth and nose. Prihodidtsya closed from her screens.

We reach the beginning of the Lena Pillars.

But unfortunately they are hiding in the dense smoke.

As if mocking us, they make our way obscene gesture). Okay, will survive.

Not far from the s. Edyay cabin have our good friend, which stands in the estuary. Mukhatov. We decide to spend the night in it.

The next day, we have to plan the transition to the Big Keteme. In the very beginning, we again find ourselves in a storm.

Rafting Yakutsk - Lensk - Yakutsk

By like a ghost drifting tanker.

Rafting Yakutsk - Lensk - Yakutsk

Well, that’s the mouth of the Big Keteme. Almost no water.

Ford above the water accumulates, backed like a dam.

Next gallery somehow not. Too lazy or tired already. About Elance we stood three days. Then there was a short haul to Mohsogolloha, where it was decided to terminate the alloy and dismantle our catamaran. By evening we were at home in Yakutsk.

All alloy took about a month. Assessment of mine – somewhere in the four and a minus. Very relocate. Every hundred miles any village. Of the benefits – almost anywhere there is cellular – Beeline. Megafon was only Lensky Olekminsk and Sinskaya. MTS – I do not know, did not have SIM cards. Gasoline was burned about 150 liters with the visits to the PVC boat and a petrol generator.

Rafting on the river. Viluy in 2013. I liked. And so, beautiful place, if you go for a vacation – that, there is something to look at.

Well, that’s probably all.
