And the certain concept of the march is now more detailed:
Let us go by the straight train of Tyumen'- Baku from Samara to Derbent (this at sea on 250 km not [doezzhaja] of Baku), even in the Russian Federation. Ticket cost only 1150 rub. and to go one-and-a-half days. In the evening on Friday into 17-05 landing in Samara, and in 7-35 mornings in Sunday already debarkation. It is exerted in 50 km before the Azerbaijanian boundary and, on the flannelettes we once intersect it. It is further exerted in Azerbaijan on The [nabranskom] seaside (there beaches, health resort zone at sea), and after somewhere 80 km along the sea even 1 overnight stays we at sea depart to the mountains through the ancient city Cuba and intersect by mountain primings main Caucasian ridge along the crossing 1700 m. it looked [fotki] - there super- (Alpine meadow, waterfalls, forests, etc), all this in the foot of the monoliths Of [shakhdag] (4200 m) and [Shakhnazardag] (2800 m). Then we leave to the ancient [shirvanskoj] capital Of [shemakha] and to the asphalt, which is called mining road, through 70 km the road gets down from the feet of main ridge, further about 300 km on the locality on the river valley crossed in the middle the hen (there also there is a preserve and reservoir with the health resort zone), one additional ancient city Gyandzha, then mountain only higher, Georgian boundary, the section on Georgia of small 1-2 days (150 km) through the capital of Tbilisi (most beautiful city) we enter into Armenia, ([Ashtarak], [Aparan] ([skoe] lake)) are here narrower again high mountains, around Sevan, monastery ancient, prospects for mountain ararat (5500 m) and the like we fly away by the straight voyage Of [armAvia] into Samara (it flies along the media), departure from Yerevan 18-20 into 21-00 in [Kurumoche], for [bajk] of no additional additional payments not necessary, the quota of the weight of 30 kgf to the man, the aircraft air bus, e hour to fly to [Kurumocha] ([desh]. voyages in comp.

(would be not to overdrink [chachi] or ARM. cognac:)))
Kazakh is planned to pass somewhere on 6-7 day of march, BUT from there you will not arrive in Yerevan, boundary Azerbaijan/Armenia is closed and it is not passed. On the land into Armenia from Azerbaijan it is possible to pass only through Georgia.
If you want to be removed from the route, after passing with us Azerbaijan, then this to make is very simple, after returning by bus or train to Baku, there the mass of versions (to go noon, it costs kopeck). From Baku train to Samara in a day other day on the even (1700 rub, 2 days) or aircraft (" thous. rub., 2 hours) on Sundays.
From Yerevan to Samara the aircraft of 2 times in the week on the media ([ArmAvia]) and on Saturdays (airline Samara).
I propose to you to arrive with us at Armenia and to fly away from Yerevan on Saturday on 1 September (on shch of the days of earlier us). I on the days yet did not paint route, but approximately must it will come out
With RR in Yerevan to be connected there is no sense, there only train in Tbilisi… and that visa, which to us they will give on KPP red bridge with the entrance into Georgia from Azerbaijan - single, on the whole if we are selected from Yerevan by train, then the road as the minimum of 4 days will engage + 900 additional rubles for the repeated Georgian visa and again to pass e of boundary. Entirely not theme this. From Yerevan it is unambiguous by the aircraft
Well first of all, if we are declared officially, then this not then is simple. It is necessary to count
the category of all obstacles along the route and generally there [dofiga] of factors is must
to consider. This is entire science, I do not know how, it is necessary very much time to spend
in order to investigate. To [navskidku] our route – 4 c.c. is in no way not above.

Route book I will make, but from our bikeclub “Velosamara”
Map no one it threw down and no one rocked. It is necessary to transmit on the disk, very
large volume. I now print [kilometrovki] to entire route, I take them by itself. Still GPS will be most likely.
Ancient Cuba is located in 170 kilometers from Baku

Mountain CaucasusMining system in the Caucasus stretches on 1100 km between the Black and Caspian seas and is separated the North Caucasus from Transcaucasia. This division ( mountain Caucasus ) is dedicated to the mountain region of the North Caucasus.
In the system of the large Caucasus three regions are separated: West Caucasus (to El'brus), the central Caucasus (between El'brus and Kazbek) and the East Caucasus (to the east of Kazbek). Eastern and the part of the central Caucasus they are located out of the territory of Russia and on our site in detail are not described. The central Caucasus - most alpine and almost inaccessible, basic summits exceed 5000 m the, including highest apex of Europe - El'brus (height of 5642 m).
The basic content of site is devoted to the West Caucasus. This is the system of the middle upland and alpine ridges, which combine mining landscapes with the rock peaks and the towers, covered with glaciers and snow fields. The most attractive for the tourists part of the Caucasus.
In the mountains is widely developed the network of tourist centers and [alplagerej]. In winter [gornolyzhnikov] assume the tourist centers and the hotels, located in red clearing, To [arkhyze], To [dombajskoj] clearing, the Elbrus region. Tourists in summer await hundreds of [tur].[marshrutov], which make it possible to overcome different natural obstacles - cliff, glaciers, snowy slopes, the passage across the stormy rivers. The most favorable for the marches time: July-August.
