Ural Pilgrimage 2008 story (english)
THE MAGAZINE OF THE COSSACK OWNERS CLUB
Warning: Due to the nature of the tour certain everyday

- Day: a length of time between periods of sleep not
measured in hours and bearing no relationship at all to
dawn, dusk, planetary cycles or any other cosmic
phenomena whatsoever;
- Road: a generally consistent direction across the earth’s
surface varying from a hideously dangerous four-lane
highway to the vaguest hint of a track disappearing into
trees;
- Tent: an expanse of tarpaulin anchored to the ground by at

accelerate the momentum of falling rain;
- Meal: anything from a mouthful of chocolate to a stomachstraining
sequence of courses;
- Route: a week’s generally circular direction, largely made
up from hour to hour;
- Guide: Sergei;
- Sergei: the guy with the map;
- Map: that crumpled piece of paper Sergei has in his hand;
