Jumping around Kharkhorin

24 September, 2010 from Kharkhorin, Mongolia Leave a Comment

Kharkhorin was the former capital of Mongolia back in the 13th century. The Mongols being nomadic people, there is nothing really left from this capital now. The Kharkhorin Buddhist temple used to be 600 buidings. Now only a few are left.

Around the capital is a desert area, perfect for hose riding, camel riding and dune jumping !

On the second night, in mini Gobi desert (1 hour from Kharkhorin), we experienced a sand storm that became a rain storm, then a storm and then a snow storm… and still we were sleeping in Gers… it was a cold cold night !

The following day the sky was crystal clear… but 10°C less than the previous day ! All of that to try and explain the picture below :o)

Jumping around lake Baïkal

17 September, 2010 from Еланцы, Russia 1 Comment

Arrived at 6am in Irkutsk, we started the day by a good ol’ breakfast with coffee sausages, schnitzel and mashed potatoes. We then headed to the Baïkaler Hostel, with just enough time to take a shower before going on the Baïkal trek. The shower was cold, but after 4 days in a train (hence without showering), this sounded like paradise !

At 9am, we meet Jack “Yevegeny” the owner of the hostel and also our guide around the Baïkal for the next 3 days. This is also where we met what will become our travel buddies for the rest of the trip, and also some great friends: the kiwis Hannah and Troy from great New Zealand ! Atfer 3 hours driving we arrived in Saint Christovky Bay, a place lost on Baïkal shore. There, you’ll find a farm and guest House where you’ll eat the best home made food ever !! It was sooo delicious!

Lake Baïkal is gorgeous: huge (600km long), deep blue water, deep (1600+ km at the deepest)… and so quiet ! That’s a perfect occasion to concentrate for you jump.

Note that Yevgeny, in the middle, is a fellow jumper. His hostel is full of jumping travellers pictured on the wall. So cool ! If ever you go to Irkutsk, go book the Baïkaler hostel ! (www.baikaler.com).

The Baïkal shore is also very steep and it required quite some effort so up and down all the hills all day. The reward is indeed the wonderful views that you get once on top !

Jumping at the top of Le Contadour Mountain

6 September, 2009 from Redortiers, France Leave a Comment

Le Contadour is a small mountain from the southern Alps. The top rises at 1413m. Perfect place to go hiking and sleeping in the wild when nature’s calling you 🙂

We spent the night in this abandoned Bergerie (sheepfold) with no human presence several kilometers around.

The next day, we introduced the concept of Shadow Jumping
