Здравствуйте, уважаемые!
…Хорошее это дело – прогулки пешком на дальние расстояния! Ну, не мне Вам рассказывать. А «Долгий Путь» Стивена Кинга читали? У нас в Котласе тоже бывают подобные мероприятия. 6-7 мая 2006 группа пешеходников (или хайкеров) совершила переход от Котласа почти до Красноборска и обратно общей протяженностью 100 км, затратив 26 часов 24 минуты. Ночевки не было, шли круглые сутки с перекурами по 5-15 (до 30) минут. Все стартовавшие (6 человек) благополучно добрались до финиша.

Hello, Hello!
Sunday, May 14th, promises to be a beautiful, gorgious day for hiking.
Friends should invite friends in good spirits for an energetic walk and hike this coming Sunday. Bring lots of drinking water, Lolita!
See you on Sunday.

Recently I read an article in Moscow News about modern paganism in Russia. One paragraph held my attention. It says (they quoted some pagan Magus):
"To come to paganism you need to go to the forest and follow an indescernible footpath leading to the forest. Once there, you should listen to the rustling of the leaves, the creaking of the tall pine trees, and the murmur of the creek, and paganism will come and captivate you".
Sounds familiar, doesn''t it? Like hiker''s feelings. Or the hiker''s credo. But we are not pagans, or are we?

I want to thank Andrei for leading the hike yesterday. It was one of the most difficult things I done walking through thick snow (not too much of that in Australia) but an experience I will not forget. I am looking forward to joining the group again...once the snow clears up. It was wonderful to meet all of you who were there.

I''m glad to find your group -- sounds fantastic! For the past year I''ve been hiking every Sunday with a wonderful group of friends in Los Angeles; you can see our web site: http://www.HikeTheGeek.com/LA

I would love to join you but just contracted to teach English lessons every Sunday from 10 - 13:00. Perhaps I can get my students to come on a hike; or 5 weeks from now, I can either decline the Sunday classes or re-schedule. I''m looking forward to joining you on a hike sometime.

Power of Color!-marvellous!
Who''s idea is this -change our background of webcolor from dark green to bright green!
It looks the promise of God that the spring is nearest around us!
It looks long suffered body is seeing the hope of revival!
It''s the color of pure forest began accumulating energy and ready to talk with the creatures in it- birds,animals,human beings!
Yes! It''s the color of friendship between naturlovers also!

It was so surprising to find forum working again! and some other site renovation! I''d like to express gratitude to organizers and especially to webmaster for their efforts. Let''s ask old chaps and newcomers to contribute with their ideas, pictures and impressions.
IMHO it''d be great to add a FAQ page like Lee Jee Uk started in his message of 22.08.2002....

Hi Everybody, - my son need english speaking friend(s). He is 10 y.o. Send me email if you have any idea for that.
Thank you!

Здорово!
Уже два с половиной года не ходил с вами, тут случайно зашёл на сайт и обнаружил, что вы всё столь же активны и ходите в походы. Молодцы! В январе собираюсь недели на 3 посетить Москву, обязательно составлю вам компанию.

Hi everybody.
I'm a norwegian girl, studying in Russia one year - on the purpose of learning russian. I think your hikes sounds interesting, and would love to join you. Hope you could add me to your mailinglist, so that I'll know what's going on, and when.

I am not sure, I am qualified to write here,as I am more host than guest. But probably all we are guests being indebted to the nature-the host, about 70 years. Thanks to Moscow times, many people visited this site and also sent e-mail personally to me,asking --Is it difficult? what to be prepared? how to meet? etc. etc. For new comers, who are going to join,I want to say as follows== Nothing particular, we are open to all, like nature. Not so difficult, nothing to concern, prepare one bottle of water, a loaf of bread, with comfortable shoes(or bare feet), 70 roubles maximum for electrichki,and that's all. Feel free! But interesting, as Jesus said "Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of the flowers on the field." Looking forward to meeting you......

Methinks you guys will have to book several trains now that the Moscow Times ran an article on you. Greetings from Vancouver, Muzhik
