14-Авг-2017 -- После посещения Саратова и знакомства с Александром Машниковым мы ехали домой. Но по дороге запланировали прогуляться по лермонтовским местам. Поэтому мы заночевали в гостинице в Лермонотово, посетили музей-заповедник Тарханы, где провел детство великий русский поэт М.Ю.Лермонтов. Там царит спокойствие и умиротворение. А в 50 км от Лермонотово расположено слияние 53°N 43°E.

Саша Машников 2 года назад приехал на эту точку на машине, но это было в сентябре, а сейчас по пшеничному полю не проехать. Значит нужно идти пешком, причем не по прямой, а краем поля. Сначала вдоль оврага, а потом 350 метров по полю. Идти по пшенице не просто, все ноги исколоты, так как обувь быстро наполняется колючими колосками.

Но вот цель достигнута. Вокруг поле, на северо-западе видна линия электропередач. Точка расположена в Белинском районе Пензенской области.

14-Aug-2017 -- After visiting Saratov and spending good time with Alexandr Mashnikov we went home. But on the way we planned to walk along Lermontov places. Therefore, we spent the night in a hotel in Lermontovo, visited the Tarkhany museum-reserve, where the great Russian poet Mikhail Lermontov spent his childhood. There reigns tranquility and pacification. And in 50 km from Lermontovo there is a confluence 53°N 43°E.

Sasha Mashnikov reached this confluence by car two years ago, but it was in September, and now it isn't possible to drive onto the wheat field. So I needed to walk, not in a straight line, but along the edge of the field. First along the ravine, and then 350 meters across the field. It wasn't easy to walk on wheat, my legs were punctured, as the shoes quickly filled with spiny spikelets.

Finally the goal was reached. There is a field around, in the west and north-west you can see power lines. The confluence is located in the Belinskiy district of the Penza region.
