Writes lj-user upsya: Finally, I got my hands on photos from our tour around Ladoga. Some of the guys have already written their reports. I was a co-organizer of this project, and a lot of things were new to me. Of course, there were some small mistakes, but on the whole everything went well and 6 crews went to the start of the expedition + 1 caught up with us on the second day. 18 bloggers took part in the run. And thanks to the stuffed cones, we have gained vast experience in organizing such car tours, and I'm sure next year we will already make the car project an order of magnitude higher.

(Total 48 photos)

Nevertheless, already in our first expedition we had 10 race partners, and I hope the cooperation turned out to be mutually beneficial for everyone :)

1. As usual in the case of advance planning, we constantly had force majeure. But the worst thing was the weather, which completely ruined our beautiful idea of photographing sunsets and sunrises. I regularly woke up at every dawn, but either it was raining or the whole sky was covered with clouds. With sunsets it was almost the same story. But we still filmed beautiful places, but for now, not a big photo story about our path.

Our warhorse and good friend for a week of travel was this handsome man, which was provided to us by Naprokat.ru, for which we are very grateful to her. The car never let me down on the road, for which, however, thanks to our helmsman Bora.

7. Before leaving, we pasted stickers of our partners. At this stage, we also gained experience on how not to deal with stickers. Because there was no exact understanding of which place in the car which sticker to place, some of the stickers were stuck randomly not much. From now on, we will be smarter and plan the layout of applying stickers in advance. And also we will make them without a white background if possible.

8. Simultaneously with the stickers, partner walkie-talkies from Dima d252 were installed, which often helped us out on the road. But due to the abundance of flooding, my head sometimes hurt, and I was very glad that our tents were not equipped with them, and at least you can sleep peacefully))

9. We got out onto the new Priozersk highway and rushed in a column for the first overnight stay.

12. The first parking lot was set up not far from Priozersk, on the shore of Lake Ladoga. The place is beautiful, even to remove the clouds - in general it would be beautiful. The time has come for the benefit of another of our partners - the RRK company presented us with cozy and easy-to-install tents from the Danish company EasyCamp, which became our homes during the journey. And yes, the color is pretty
