			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/zvezdnoe_den_rozhdenie_ili_pohod_na.jpg" alt="Перевал Проходной (Алматы)" align="left" /><p>FORTO: provided by participants in the campit.kz project Fresh air, mountain landscapes and a nice company, that's it, the formula for the perfect weekend. That is the view not only of the people of Almaty, but also of the megapolis from around the world, which transmits to the correspondent BNews.kz Mountain tourism has been rapidly developing in Almaty in recent years, alpine clubs have opened up, and young people are united for joint ventures. One such association is campit.kz, whose organizers say that if boys and girls used to spend their leisure activities in the city, they choose mountains today. The main problem between the youth of Almaty and the mountains was the absence of a company or the lack of knowledge of the routes to travel, but with the emergence of associations, the problem was resolved. Despite the fact that the community has been in existence for less than a year, they already have more than a brag. "We used to go on trips three times, me, and my friends Sultan and Jerzhan. Feed the peaks, studied new routes. The photos were posted on social media, so we became aware. First, we were writing friends asking us to take them with us. Since the activism has also begun on the part of strangers who wish to travel in the mountains. That is how we decided to make camping available to all those who wish. Created a site, a page in Instagram, developed a logo and started publishing a weekly post with a meeting site and all the information. Honestly, we were shocked when more than 100 people came to the Coke of Gilau in the fall of 2015! I would like to point out that our journeys are completely free and can come by anyone who wishes, " One of the founders of the Dennis Lukjanchuk Community. It should be emphasized that the highest ranked youth association is the Grand Diamond peak, which has a height of 3,680 metres. "And it's just the beginning! " The fact that people are united to go to the mountains has learned from their friend and decided to join immediately. I'm from America, I'm in practice at one of Almaty's banks. There have been many times in the mountains before, but the Almamine mountains are particularly charming. " One member of the Ainsley McNierney Project notes. Another successive movement came from Austria to Almaty to study. Trikkin was also attracted to her home country (trust tourism, prune).</p>]]></content:encoded>

Travellers ' retrieval is based on the hotel ' s data for summer season, taking into account infrastructure and transport accessibility. The top-10 of the most popular Tracking-Courts and mountain ranges in Russia and the CIS countries include the Red Polyana (Sochi), Chimbulak (Kazakhstan), Shahdag (Azerbaijan), Dombay (Caracaevo-Cherkesia), the Crimean Mountains (Krum), the Katuelbine Ridkale (Gor Altai) According to TurStat, the Sochi mountain resorts, which travel over a million tourists in the summer, are not only the most popular for the Rossian track, but also the most affordable rest. Aviabilette or railroad travel to Sochi will cost up to 10,000 roubles per person, and 5,000 roubles per day for two. Sochi's mountain resorts are located 40 kilometres from Adler International Airport and the Black Sea. The Red Pole (Sochi) uses Roza Huthor and the Gork City for the most popular summer holidays in the mountains.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/pohod_v_gori.jpg" alt="перевал на высоте 1680м" align="left" /><p>Today, one man asked for a recommendation on a mountain travel pharmacy so that the information didn't fall, decided to put it here. Let the question be sufficiently studied, but still! Let's start with a simple: First, and most importantly, it's the competence to provide (First Medical Assistance) if you know what to do, do if you don't even mind, because the incorrect assistance can lead to the deterioration of the victim ' s condition, but also to his flight. This also applies to the introduction of the affected substances by syringe, as the act requires special authorizations and skills, i.e., the admission of a doctor, a nurse, etc., to perform the activities of a doctor. It was a small entrance, we'll continue talking about the kit. To the question of her kit! In my own experience, I recommend two sets: the core (full) and the spare (may be located in both one person and several). Will you ask why? I'm telling you, if the main layout is lost, it's not only convenient, but sometimes necessary! She can look differently, for example: So what should include the basic pharmacy? Answer (marked "! " ) is mandatory: Disinfectant: Induction, nervous condition: It's a common set to say that you need to be supplemented to go to the mountains! Ascarbin acid (multily recommended to be applied before travelling to the mountains, and extraction) can be used for example asvillol (glucosis with large apples).</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/gora_narodnaya_na_urale_na_foto.jpg" alt="Гора Народная на фото" align="left" /><p>A trip to the Ural Viveka Pripole to feed the Popular Mountain. Folk Mountain is the highest peak of Ural. It's 1,895 meters high. The mountain is located on Pripolar Urale at the border of the Republic of Komi and the Hanta-Mansia Autonomous District. The trip was planned in the summer, from 10 to 21 July. A group of four people originally gathered, but by the date of departure there were only two laughs. Why am I saying laughs? You'll understand. All I'm gonna say is that the guys went to the mountains without a trainer, counting only on their strength and knowledge. At the beginning of our conversation, I had a question, and why the mountains? That is what I was told: " First, I personally refer to the type of people who prefer to rest on the beach of the mountains and forests. Well, my comrade was looking for new impressions. Secondly, as a resident of Ekaterinburg, I, like many, get used to seeing the Ural Mountains like some kind of low forest hills. But the buddies' stories, the trip to the Zyratkull National Park, heated my interest in our mountains. In fact, there are many beautiful places in Russia that I plan to visit, but since I'm a resident of Ural, why not start with him?” At 3.30 a.m., the boys sat on a train in Ekaterinburg and were already in Kirov by 6 p.m., where a train was boarded to Vorkut. " When we arrived in Into (Komi's republic, take a uralweb) somewhere in the area of 03:30, we felt the beauty of the polar day, it was light and we, a little floating around the city, moved straight ahead on the road, first to the concrete plates and then to the ground. I'll tell you, at first, there's a lot of trucks out there turning the road into a dirty mess. But if you drive a car, it's not a problem, though you're going to have to shake it. " I want to make a little resignation and explain one point, because I didn't know myself, and I thought my interviewer was wrong, saying he was on a polar day. Turns out a polar day is when it's light and day and night. So there's no print in the text that our guys arrived at 3:00 in the morning, but it's called a polar day.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/palatki_dlya_pohodov_i_voshozhdeniy_lichniy.jpg" alt="В прошлом году нашему сыну" align="left" /><p>The tent is an integral part of the requisition for any mountain rise involving at least one night. It's a fact that's hard to argue with. In the mountains, it becomes not only a symbol of a temporary home (and our consciousness falls on such stereotyping) but, indeed, a temporary home. That's why the tent needs to be taken responsible. The selection of a tent for mining is particularly important, because the extreme weather conditions that you will encounter in the mountains do not allow negligence to any of the petty things, and the choice of a temporary house is not a small one. An unthinkable choice here might have the worst consequences. So, how do you choose a suitable tent for a mountain rise? The answer to this question may cause some difficulty, because in the modern market of such goods, the pond is a pond. Let's try to figure it out. Mountain tents can be divided into two types: (1) high (2) medium. However, high tents can be subdivided into expeditions and storms, depending on the style of adolescence. The expedition tent is intended for the so-called " hymalai " resurrection style, when several base camps are organized at the time of the inception. There are also requirements for such tents: wind resistance and hardness of the design, since such a tent should be kept in one place for a long time, with the pressure of the snow and the wind. The same tent is intended for the " Alpine " resurrection style, in which base camps are not set, and the tent is kept with itself. It should therefore be a plus for all the expedition tents, as far as possible. Can you imagine what it's like to always carry, like a snail, your hard house, and the mountain? Such admiration will bring little joy. The mid-sized cells combine the quality of both of the above categories: by weight, they are the average between them, they are more comfortable because they are intended to be used under less stringent conditions.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/ekstrim_turizm_i_aktivniy_otdih.jpg" alt="ПОНЕДЕЛЬНИК, 7 МАЯ 2012 Г" align="left" /><p>They've been going to the mountain for a long time, but not to conquer it, but to come down quickly. They've been going to the mountain for a long time, but not to conquer it, but to come down quickly. And not just like that, but on skis and on the most uncomfortable and unprepared tracks. That's the point of squi-alpinism. To be the champion of this sport, we need to have the Frireid tech at the same time and be an experienced alpingist. Today, this most sophisticated sport is rapidly gaining momentum around the world. Perhaps the main reason for his popularity is that he gives his fans a completely new form of freedom. Now they are not dependent not only on track preparation, but also on lifts and on any mining infrastructure. From now on, they can fight snow slopes everywhere and everywhere. Sporting ski-alpinism is still very young. He was born in the Alps in the 1990s at the junction of mountains, running skis and alpineism, and the first world champion was held in France only five years ago. Today, world and European primaries, national champions and cubs are held annually. The competition usually takes place in several disciplines. Vertical race is a rapid rise in the mountain on a prepared track with a set of 900-1100 metres. The best athletes have traveled this way in only 40 minutes. An individual race is a longer distance (up to 24 kilometres) with several lifts, launches and a total set of up to 2,200 metres. There is also a command race in which the participants cross the track in two ways, and the estafete, when three to four people are on line on the ring route with two ups and downs. But perhaps the most interesting thing is Rally. They differ from conventional competitions with a larger route (up to 60 kilometres), complexity and diversity of the track. Rallie participants need to climb up to a few peaks, launch steep wholesal, shed snow slopes, go through narrow ridges, overcome scal and ice areas, closed glaciers. And it's all at the highest speed in the nun-stop mode. Rallie's not part of a series of clubs and championships, and they're much older than squi-alpinism as an officially recognized sport. h3. According to the traces of Ottorino Mezzalama, the most famous of these races, Trofeo Mezzalama, has been held in Italy since the 1930s and has the name of the famous Italian skier and alpineist Ottorino Metzalama. During the First World War, he celebrated the fact that he had skied several battalions of soldiers responsible for exploration, communication and security in the mountains, and in peacetime he had relentlessly studied the native Alps by laying paths for future skies. Trofeo Mezzalama is one of the biggest rally today. This year, more than 200 teams of three people participated in the project (most of athletes are required to pass through the interconnection with the rope). The 40 km route is approximately 4,000 metres and above, with a total of 2,800 metres. The best crews are crossing this hardest route in four, five hours. The competition is run by FISI (Italian Federation of Winter Sports) and the sum of prizes here are quite large for a sport such as Skee-alpinism. The fastest men ' s team receives Euro 4,800 and the women receive Euro3,300. Special prizes for Euro 1,500 are awarded to the oldest and youngest teams. However, in order to fight for these monetary awards, each troika must make a total initial contribution of Euro450. h3. The Lead Patrol in Trofeo Mezzalama ' s Skee-alpinist Events calendar is running with the Patrouille des Glaciers. These competitions take place every two years in Switzerland. Between the start-up in Cermatte and the Finische in Verbier, participants are moving away from a distance of 53 kilometres, with a range of almost 4 kilometres. It has been overcome in 6, 5 hours when circumstances are successful. The normal number of participants in the Patrouille des Glaciers is about a thousand in three teams. For the first time, these competitions were organized as military exercises at the end of 1930-1940. At the end of the next decade, after the crackdown and the death of three participants, they were stopped. However, almost forty years later, in 1984, the Led Patrol race was revived and security issues are now being given the highest priority. Ralli was 12 times in 2006. The night vengeance of the Pierra Menta race in French Alps can be described as the most complex and inspiring: in four days, athletes must recruit 10,000 metres vertically. According to the participants, " it is only on the first day, and then on how to survive until the finish. " The Sellaronda round race is also a genre classic. The distance crosses the Dolomita, passing through the ring route around the vast cafeteria of Sella. That marathon's raisin is that it's a good night. The illumination is very effective: the ridges of the surrounding mountains are decimated by a live illumination from a long moving chain of pumped lamps. This year, Italians hit previous trails, hit 42 kilometres of distance and 2,700 metres of height in 3 hours and 20 minutes. h3. The first place in the world ' s table of ski-alpineism is traditionally occupied by athletes from the Alpine countries, France, Italy, Austria and Switzerland. The inhabitants of the plain latitude, who are unable to practice in the mountains every day, of course, cannot constitute serious competition. Russian ski-alpinists, therefore, traveling to international competitions as long as they are more modest in their tasks, to pass the entire distance and, if possible, not to be the last place. The only way to achieve serious results in this sport is to go to the mountains. That's what Gennadi Sibaev's magnetore did. Since recently, he has been living in New Zealand and has already been able to become an absolute leader of Skipping Alpineism, winning three of the four phases of national ownership this year. h3. Russia ' s first experience of ski-alpinism does not yet have such rich traditions as in Europe. Russia ' s first bow was held in Hibinah, the Kolo Peninsula, in 2004. The Murmansk region ' s Alpine Federation was able to organize clean leaf contests at a very decent level. Last year, at least a well-organized championship was held at Ural, Magnitohorsk. Two years later, Skee-alpinists competed on the Camchatka during the traditional Avacin Marathon. Also, the ski-alpinisms on the Moscow Cup take place at the Moscow Mining Club Kant. There's a lot of athletes involved in the runs, but it's, of course, just a little light-minded than big competitions. While Russia is just trying to learn this difficult but very exciting sport. One of the Pyongers of Russian Ski-alpinism Sergei Romanov and his teammate Camp-Alpindustria Viacheslav Kurchakov told BOLSHOI about the prospects for this sport in the West and Russia. I mean, it's not for no reason that smart people don't go to the mountain, especially skis. * Vyacheslav Kurchakov (VC)*: What's that? Free. You can go anywhere you want and on your own, go to new beautiful places, ride on purpose and not depend on lifts or helicopters. And you don't have to pay a lot of money for that. And competition is an incentive for continuous improvement. If we were just riding for our pleasure, we wouldn't have any equipment like this. It's easier, more comfortable, more functional. Technology is rapidly evolving and yields the highest results. Another important point is familiarity with interesting people, other countries. And then, squi-alpinism is like a multisport, and there's ski runs, and ice, scalp, and mining. Of course it's very hard. There's a huge cost, a power of will. White people are climbing up on the top of the helicopter, happy and full forces float clean, furious. And you with wooden legs barely crawling on the mountain, tongue on your shoulder, and you ride down the burglary, trails, broken tracks. But Western athletes show fantastic results. And after the clock lift, they continue to go upwards so that they will not be repressed with fresh force. And let's go where we stop for a few times, they're going with one fur. Of course, in order to achieve some results, you have to devote yourself to training, quit your job, family, then maybe you'll be in ten. What are the prospects for Russian squi-alpinism? In all mountain countries, including Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland, people are beginning to engage in ski-alpinism from childhood, sections are even in many schools. We have no training system yet. All Russian ski-alpinists are scholars coming from other sports: mountains, skis, alpineism. The best results we've got are the plains of skies, they're much more and stronger than the others. There's more chances among the climbers of those who do velocity resurrections. But it's very difficult for us in the plains to compete with European athletes. In the West, it's very popular. They have a lot more people to do than go to competition. Even in a mass buyer-oriented store, Decathlon sells specialized equipment. In the Alps, people go to the mountains like we go to the woods for the weekend. And our mountain areas are so undeveloped that there is no mass to talk about. Who's in charge of a competition in Russia? One of the reasons for this is that we have virtually no one to participate in them: strong, worthy sportsmen in Russia. And the levels are prepared on lower tournaments. And now that we get the level when the contests go into the official sports committee calendar, then there's probably also funding. So far, regional alpine federations are self-sustaining. For example, in Magnitohorsk, under the auspices of the local alpine club, Gennady Kirievsky and Sergey Soldatov organized an excellent championship almost for their money. And the sponsors don't support Russian squi-alpinism? In many countries, ski-mountaineering is sponsored by large equipment manufacturers. But as long as we have ski-alpinism, we have a small company of enthusiastes, so outdoor firmas don't rush to invest in it. Our team with the competition equipment was partially assisted by Italian Samp, but skis and shoes still had to be bought by themselves. Alas, as long as squi-alpinism in Russia is held exclusively on the naked enthusiasm. - h3. The victory of the Priz for the will to win is the award received by the Russian assembly at the last European Championship on Skipping Alpineism, held in March 2007 in the French resort of Morzin-Avoryas. Six athletes fought for Russia ' s mountainous honour, and in a general rating of 21 countries, the Russian team occupied the 15th place. This may be a very good result, since the requirements for participants have increased significantly this year. The championship programme included four races, vertical, command (distance 20 kilometres), individual and estaphate. As always, sportsmen from France, Italy, Switzerland and Spain took the lead. - h3. Of course, a special type of sport, such as squi-alpinism, requires very special equipment. Ski-alpine skis weigh less than a kilo and much shorter mountains: men have 160, women have 150 centimeters. Their sliding surface is marked with a camus, a synthetic tape with a directional thorce that allows for moving forward, but does not skid backwards. The " free slick " and the " fixed slick " for the downhill have two basic provisions to the maximum light, non-weighted " anchorages. The boots are also very light, with the charniers that provide free work of the holenostope on the rise. Before the downing, a special switch (hot/ski position) shall be fixed at a certain angle. If necessary, they shall be fitted with " boxes " , which, together with self-care, carabine, lavin sensor, tamper and scapula, are also included in the mandatory kit of athletes.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/pamyatka_turistam_hibini.jpg" alt="Подготовка к походу в горы" align="left" /><p>We've already discussed enough equipment that a newcomer will need in a mining trip. Now let's talk a little more about one, not least, part of the preparations for the first walk, psychological. A lot of people, getting ready to go, think that the most important thing is buying the necessary equipment and maybe pulling their physical form a little bit. But there is another very important moment that, during the journey, gradually goes to the forefront by placing tourists ' physical training and equipment on the ground. It's about the psychological climate in the group. Of course, if you get a literate instructor, he'll try to make sure, yesterday, a completely different person, becomes one team in a few weeks. But the instructor is not God! There's a lot more to do with what the tourists gathered in the group represent. When you're going to such an event, you need to think very seriously about one thing-- how much you're willing to live for more than two weeks in a closed group, sometimes very different people. 'Cause it's not the fact that the group will gather interesting people close to your age and close to you in intelligence and in interest. Are you ready in this case to forget about yourself for a while and try to start living the interests of these people? If a member of the group could respond positively to this question, the atmosphere in the group would be great. In this regard, allow me to offer some advice that will help you avoid the mistakes of many starters: 1. From the first day you meet your future comrades, try to contain the natural desire to become a leader. There's never been a group leader in itself - just from smart words and cheap ponts. It's always fun to see some of us in a newly assembled group just get out of their skin, just to draw attention to themselves and show their significance, but... The mountains will be very quick to break everything in their seats, and literally in a couple of days it'll be clear who really is. 2. Don't be afraid to say, I don't know, and I can't. I often have to watch a newcomer who's afraid to say these simple words (as well as the authority and ratings, they're gonna fall! As a result, instead of maintaining his own denomination, he's just the object of jokes (and good if good). Do you need this? So don't be afraid to admit that you're the kettleman. Believe me, your reputation in this group will never fall. And for sure, it won't be your weakness. 3. If you can barely walk under a heavy backpack in the tail of the band, cursed everything in the world, you don't have to think it's anyone's fault. And if there's no one in the group who's not wearing or snooping, except for you and the couple, it doesn't mean everyone's easy. Just learn how to tolerate it! 4. Try one non-chick thing on the road, imagine that at this moment, there's not an entirely alien man sitting next to you (with whom you may be separated after you walk forever) but a brother or sister. See how soon your sense of peace and attitude towards the companions will change. At first, make yourself a little (if necessary), but very quickly you'll get used to thinking about others as your relatives, and you'll behave with them accordingly. 5. Men must not be surprised and conquered by their co-workers with “unormal” and “herotic” stories that have allegedly happened to you. It only works well for young maiden girls and yesterday ' s schoolchildren, who usually do not have so much in the group. But to put yourself in a state of humility, the risk is more than likely. It is possible that there will be a person who is indeed a specialist in this field or who has participated in these events. Can you imagine how you're going to look with your words? 6. You want to know one of the parameters that, at first glance, determines that you have a really dead kettle? It's very simple, he's all, from his feet to his head, charged to the Militari. And even the funniest heat during the easy walk, when everyone in some shorts and bathing suits will never force him to take off all of this. Because Nia-I-I... Imige of a cool man can get hurt. :)) On the first day of the walk, you get that eye, and then you don't usually wonder when you suddenly find out he can only go under the backpack at the speed of the dying turtle, always stopping the whole group. Believe in the word, tourism is a place where people don't even meet under the skin (or under the snarciss) but they do, especially. : 7. Young girls and more mature madams, I know you're not going to jump against nature, but... Recovered shooting with eyes and an uncovered flirt can only be used by married " hairdressers " and eternally concerned young men of primary age. Is that your purpose? It's like the whole thing is always in sight. Believe me, none of you will be ignored. And for this, it is absolutely not necessary to waste your magic energy by causing unhealthy angitation among the men of the group and annoying among women. Even if the habit of charming and conquering male hearts was born with you. Men's tourists - if one of you has the basic life slogan "Get the Harmon" - it's not a reason to think that you're all going to be bonded. There's a good life rule, "Sex, no reason to meet." There is a counter-universal rule, " Acquaintance, not a reason for sex " . Therefore, it is not necessarily necessary that the presence of a handsome neighbour at night would have some “good” continuation. The main reasons for two are, after a difficult day, most men's hysterics want only one thing, quietly to lay in their own bedroom, and... for no one to lay down, it's likely that your neighbour has quite different views of tourism, tent rest, neighbourhood of a stranger (and one to your third knee). So, the less you'll be able to wrap your head up with sweet fantasies, the less disappointment you'll expect in the future. 9. Continuing arguments with the instructor. It's funny to always watch the way such smarts act when the real thing starts. Wherever the whole gonob goes, from the semi-condition, every instructor's guidance is trapped in the summer. If you want to show your steep is absolutely insurmountable, you can do the following in response to the instructor's advice, just do everything in your own way (possibly diametrically opposite). As strange as it may be, sometimes it even goes uninjured. :)) 10. If you're going on a trip for the second time (or even scary to say, to the third) and you've become a very experienced tourist, you still don't need to get attached to the instructor with different advice and recommendations. Of course, most of the trainers are involved with humor or philosophical, but... and sometimes they can't handle nerves in these situations. And in response to another advice, how to unleash the bone where to put the tent where to go, etc., it is likely that you can hear a specific purpose for your further movement (and what to do). ) I don't think that's gonna make you feel better. 11. Gentlemen of the photographers - try to understand one simple thing - there's no footage worth a good relationship to you. Try to straighten out that you won't have the opportunity to take out what you want. Going with the group, we need to understand that all of us have equal rights with you, and no one should sacrifice anything to make you an interesting person. I don't think the band's gonna be thrilled if you sit around and wait until you get your butterflies in the sky, or you wait for the combination of sun and clouds you need. And without this, there is a great opportunity to get excellent staff. 12. Favorite couples are tourism, not the kind of event that people want to constantly betray love comforts. If you suddenly have a honeymoon, and you just can't get away with each other for a long time, and you really want exotic, it's better for this class to choose some kind of turbation. On the one hand, just as it was in the camping trip, it would be possible to differentiate its interaction with the sophistication of mountain beauty, and on the other hand, your permanent engagement-targeting would not be as discreet as usual in a small isolated group. And you're gonna have a lot more power on your tourbs, too. 13. The physical health of future tourists also directly affects the psychological climate of the group. With the emergence of a commercial tourism era, almost none of the organizers of the campesinos have been harder to check the health of their future customers (as to say - only the money is paid). As a result, people with very poor health have become involved in the mountains and, at times, candidly handicapped (there were five of them last summer). So, when you're going to camp, you're gonna have to weigh your physical possibilities again. No one's going to let you die there, but you'll be able to forget your pleasure. Remember, going to the mountains, it's a big physical load! If your health allows you to carry a heavy backpack in the heat or rain on the mountains all day, then go! If there is any doubt, it would be better to abstain. And by summarizing the above, I want to say again what all future tourists need to remember at all times: Tourism, this is the FOLLECTIVE event. Egoists, selfish " narcissam " and people who love privacy are very difficult. I don't recall that in this case, it's about preparations for a plan team (15-20) from strangers from all over the country. The author's 5+ camouflage isn't supposed to wear it because he's not a brooch type. It's much easier to find, without God, a man lost in a bright abundance - a red coat or an orange pot.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/kak_vibrat_obuv_dlya_pohoda_v.jpg" alt="Как выбрать обувь для похода в" align="left" /><p>The shoes are probably the most basic element! Thanks to the right-handed shoes, you can not worry about keeping your feet safe, don't wet them, don't wet the mosles, you don't kill the horns, you'll be less tired, so you can enjoy your adventure. A lot of people who get used to urban shoes get into a difficult choice by going to a specialized shop, assortium is often very shy now, and eyes just start running around the shelves. Let us first deal with the main types of travel shoes on " undiscovered locations " . These types of " grass-roots activity " are mainly divided: Haiking (urban walks), light-tracking (slight-time walks), very-tracking (there are very different relays, often day-to-day, low-performing, heavy-duty tracks (high-to-resistant snows, often from civilization, in difficult weather conditions) Let us now take a short look at the main features in the selection of shoes for each type of active rest. Heiking's not a good walk on a small area. These can be paths and paths in large parks, preachers, urban areas. Usually, the weather is fairly favourable. Tracking sandals, practically any sneakers, can be shoes for such places depending on temperature, but better when they are shoes positioned by the producer as for haiking or trans-shipment classes - they are more likely to have a foot with developed dirt. If you're planning to move in places with frequent rains, we'd better get some membrane shoes or light track shoes. - Light trailer - " front link " between the Haiking and the track. In fact, it's the same Haiking, but it's longer, the locality can be quite scattered, as can long pillows and downs. The shoes may be the same as the Haiking, but if you're not a experienced tourist who can walk much and easy. ♪ ♪.</p>]]></content:encoded>
