Baikal 2010 - The 500th Kilometer!

First, I want to thank to all of you for your encouraging comments which work as a boost of energy at times when we feel down! My leg is doing miraculously better! It’s not completely OK but it does not slow me down now.

What does the word "extreme" mean to you?

Only thanks to the daily updates we write, I’ve still managed to keep track of what day it is... The last few days have fused into one grayish mixture of feelings, experiences, cold and very cold mornings...

Bikal 2010 - Let's Limp Towards the North

I have to tell you something about Pavel - he’s became addicted to that “400th km video” we made a couple of days ago. He watches it over and over every night and only then does he get into his sleeping bag and laughing like crazy goes to sleep... :-))

A Bit About the Technology and the Day When Things Are Huge

Today, I’m going to talk a but about the technology we have here with us as there were number of questions about it in the comments. Moreover, only thanks to the stack of cables and various “gadgets” are we able to send the daily updates so you can read them here. My apologies who’re not very fond…

Baikal 2010 - 400 km & How We Turned into Handymen

First, I want to add a piece of information to what Pavel said about our diet yesterday. I know that being a vegetarian he probably thinks that meat’s not worth mentioning... :-)

Why Do We Do Things Like This?!

We’re beginning to feel that we’re really tired so please excuse us if the quality of the daily updates declines or if we wander from the subject of pure daily reports and get more “philosophical” at times - we have so much time to THINK that we simply need to share some of these thoughts with…

The Bergans Baikal 2010 Expedition - Goodbye, Olchon!

As the first thing in the morning, we called a brief meeting. First we needed to discuss requests from muscles from all over our bodies for a day off which they would spend in a sleeping bag doing nothing.

Only Half of the Distance to Go!

Yesterday, I disconnected my iPod by mistake right when it was synchronizing - instead of a new set of music, an error message occurred on the display and I was told to reset the iPod. I didn’t have energy to do that so I spent a quiet day today.

Baikal 2010 - Hey Ice, You Rock! :-)

It’s been two days since when I begun to feel a pain in my left shin. It’d been only getting worse since then and yesterday it was really bad - after I took my pants off in the evening I could see that it was badly swollen.

The Bergans Baikal 2010 - Island of Olchon on the Horizon!

We had a very good day today even though it was very very cold in the morning. I didn’t check the thermometer then but I know for sure that it was freezing cold. I even got light frostbites on my fingers from the morning.

Baikal 2010 - Cold and Wind = Tough Day

FI want to touch upon a bit the temperatures we have here as there were some questions about it in the comments (at the Czech version). We’re not a weather station :-) so we don’t measure the temperatures throughout the whole day.

Another Day in Paradise (or is it Hell :)

First, I need to explain something to you - to the English speaking readers of our blog. Yesterday, we set a little guessing competition in the Czech version of the website - in short I gave the article a nonsensical title and let the readers guess what it was supposed to mean.

A Nice Day after an Awful Night

Today’s message won’t be about today as it went more or less without any problems. I’d rather tell you about yesterday’s night - we’ve never ever seen anything like that - it weren’t just heavy winds, it was like a hurricane!

The Baikal 2010 Expedition - A Hard Day

We try to walk as many miles as possible every day so we walk till dark - every minute we walk, we’re closer to the other side of Baikal. ”Oh no...not again...,” was my first thought right after I woke up. I can see and hear as well that another fierce storm is shaking violently with our tent.

Whooo, We Made the First 100 km!

And it was not the only “first-thing” we had today. Those 100 km (62 miles) are of course of the highest importance for us as we think of it as of an important milestone - it usually goes faster once you cross the first round number :-)

Unable to Leave the New Tent

A new tent? Have the guys gone completely crazy, you think? I better start at the beginning. The problems we had with our tent had gone too far - it was getting dangerous... I’ll briefly explain what happened: we picked out our tent for this adventure carefully as every other piece of equipment we…

Baikal 2010 - Our Daily Routine

It’s really late today when we’re working on the update so we won’t fuss over it too much - hope you’ll understand :-) The following are therefore more just short comments about our daily routine and stuff rather than a coherent story.

Siberia Shows its Teeth

Today we really felt for the first time what it means if Siberia shows it’s teeth and shows us how harsh it can be. It was a hard day but still we found a time to make a video for you instead of a photo.

Day Dedicated to Our Families

I and Pavel agreed that once in a while we will dedicate our message to someone. First, of course, it’s our families’ turn. They’ve already been through a lot because of the expedition.

The Bergans Baikal 2010 Expedition - The Crack

It was a hard day today, the first full day. We had information, that the first third or maybe even half of the lake would not be covered with snow. Unfortunately it is nothing like that and we have to work harder than we hoped we would have to.

We Are on the Ice!

We sung our praises yesterday on how everything is working and perfectly organized - and so it is! Except for one tiny detail...the gas. We ordered 45 l in 5 l bottles long time ago. Today, we received 90 tiny bottles - made of glass and only for half a liter each.
