08-Jan-2015 – От села Булгаковка по накатанному бураном следу на лыжах поднимаемся на холм, набор высоты 80 м. На плато буранный след расходится с нашим дальнейшим направлением. Берем азимут на точку конфлюенции и тропим 2,5 км по заросшему высокой травой полю, меняемся через 100 шагов. Точку N52°E47° находим в 16.34, в сумерках делаем контрольные фотографии. От точки краем леса, стараясь придерживаться дороги, обозначенной на карте, проходим еще одну ходку на юг. В 17.34 встаем на ночлег в сказочном заснеженном дубовом лесу.

08-Jan-2015 – From the village Bulgakovka, by a smooth snowmobile trace, we skied up the hill, 80 m height. On a plateau the snowmobile trace diverges with our further direction. We calculated the azimuth towards the confluence point and trampled down a track in virgin snow for 2,5 km through the field, covered with a high grass. We changed the leader every 100 steps. The CP 52°N 47°E was founded at 16.34, we made photo shots in twilight. We made one more march to the south from the confluence point along the edge of the forest, tried to hold the road, designated on the map. At 17.34 we set up a camp in a fairy, snow-covered oak wood.
