Spring underbreak to the Belovsky waterfall - Toyota Vitz, 1.0 liter, 2006
There are amazing and beautiful places near Novosibirsk. One of these places is a waterfall near Belovo, located within 100 km from Novosibirsk.
We learned about this waterfall for a couple of years and since then we visit it every summer. But they had never been there in another season, so curiosity was sorted out and they decided to try to get there.
It is April, there is almost no snow anywhere, the confidence that we will get there is 99%! We have Vitz, and this is almost a jeep, only a small one :)
At first, we were surprised by the overflowing local river and the crowd of as many as 4 cars in front of this very spill. It turned out that people are simply afraid to climb into this water, or maybe they were just waiting for the first bold one. Well, or a suicide bomber ... But nothing, we drove carefully and quickly.
But on the field road we did not reach a kilometer somewhere. The remains of snow were a surprise due to their thickness of 20-40 cm and not weak puddles under this thickness. In addition, the earth was sour, and on a clean front-wheel drive, it was a gamble to meddle in such a place.
In general, they drilled right into the middle of the field and sat on their belly. It’s good that they sat down, already the wheels hung out. Well, I wanted to jump at speed ...
But he tested his entire arsenal of tools ... And he dug, and sawed, and put branches, logs, and jacked up, and tried to wield a winch, but that was all. I decided to do it like in the cartoon about Prostokvashino. There are sled dogs, sled academics, and now there are sled programmers. It was good that there was a long dynamic cable, and I myself was rather big: I harnessed myself, ran, flopped, got up, swore. I repeated all these actions 5 times and pulled Vitsik to a dry place :)
The price of a breakthrough attempt is a bumper that has fallen off the mounts.
But we did not go further, so the photos of the waterfall will be from other trips, obviously more successful. And I attached the bumper back, only removing the petticoat so as not to cling to anything. Since then, I've been riding like this. It is necessary to make normal protection for the engine with the gearbox, but all the time there is no money.
And for this we paid with a bumper ... We finally arrived, though almost a month later. But it was still gray and a little dull, and even more so did not feel like swimming.
And usually in the summer the waterfall looks like this:
When there is no rain, but there are people, then like this:
And this is a lake, from the surplus of which a waterfall is obtained.
PS There is also Belovo in the Kemerovo region, but this is a different village. And yes, we went in April, but only now we got around to publishing the record :)
