After having gone through an extreme lack of sleep and upon taking the Hedgehog from the Boss I added some food to the things that I had never gotten to unpack, I managed to go to sleep after midnight again\u2026<\/p>\n

And then – getting up at 5.30, inspecting all the stuff, warming the car up, trying to settle all the things in the car in a most effective way\u2026 Meeting up, organizing the passengers, figuring out where exactly we are going )))) Well, at least it was this way for me, as I was in a situation of \u201cgoing to the Ball straight from the ship\u201d )). I received a very unspecific answer \u201cto Mogrytsa\u201d and calmed down.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I was forced to finish creating the route by using a marker pen since GoogleMaps does not allow adding any more dots.
\nI took the tail spot in the car line and didn\u2019t really bother where we were going – I was simply following the cars in the front)).<\/p>\n

The already familiar Kharkiv – Bohodykhiv – Trostyanets highway\u2026 I will describe the pits and the curves on the road no more ))))<\/p>\n

But! Some odd smell of burnt oil appeared when I drove 80 km per hour or over\u2026 We did stop, circled around the Hedgehog while trying to find the source of the smell, found the upcoming finale of the gasket under the engine head. We didn\u2019t rest at that, however, for it was too little to explain the level of the smell we had experienced. In fact, it was hardly a 2 cm mark of oil. We examined the underneath of the car\u2026 and there was the right back ammort that had obviously been torn off. To be more particular, it was the bracket of it. And the oil leaked onto the cardan and the exhaust pipe.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Well, we grabbed the tools, took the ammort off, put it inside the car and that was it) We simply continued on with the route))); which is yet another option that strengthens my love for this car))))<\/p>\n

This time the gentlemen decided to take what it\u2019s worth:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The first stop of the program, quite unexpectedly, was the Golitsyn-Ko\u0435nig Manor built in the middle of the XVII century. Under the flag of \u201cah, we might as well visit it since we\u2019re here anyway\u201d we decided to take a look at the Manor and the Regional Studies Museum located in it.  That awkward moment when the opinion of the tour guide about the role of separate characters in the regional history definitely differed drastically from the one the head of our expedition had, gave us an obvious hint that we wouldn\u2019t have spent a lot of time there. Despite the fact that our boss was too polite to prove and force his point ))) So we sped up to the halls and went to wander around))

The next stop was Tokari village. There we had an opportunity to observe the remnants of the Gate Temple of All Saints, which had been sanctified back in 1760. It had previously belonged to Sumy Assumption male monastery (until it was abolished in 1788).
\nSurprisingly, this was the case when the remnants had left me absolutely untouched and not impressed whatsoever.

The next part of our program was Grunovka. The Saint Michael the Archangel Cathedral (1854)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Personally, I was not really interested in the place itself, but everyone felt obliged to lay down:
\n\"\"
\nRight here)<\/p>\n

And the hill view was beautiful )
\nFrom there we moved to Mogrytsya. There was the Vladimir the Sainted Church (\u201cwhich was built in XIX upon numerous peoples\u2019 requests\u201d)) But that happened a little later, first we stopped at quite a picturesque place)))
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nBoy, did we jump enough and circle in the sand over there)) And then the hunger took over us and we hurried to see the church, as we had earlier been promised that we would be allowed to eat afterward))))):

Our leader of the Brave Ones had promised us the beauty and the best picnic spot by the village and forced us to leave the store after buying some ice-creams))
\nAnd – it was definitely worth it! It was an unbelievably beautiful place!

And what do you think? You are right! There was the hill – the scary, steep chalk hill! The Patrick was the first one to attempt it, he drove there, turned around and drove down:<\/p>\n
