Beskid Zywiecki - Babia Gora - 1725m

(September 2004). The fourth day of the trip was a short section - 13kms. Unpleasant weather, we have rested for half a day and slept somewhere on Poland-Slovakia border. Surprisingly came frost, which we didn't expect in september, it was hard to sleep, we were moving all the time in the tent and talk to get warmer. And someone cut trees nearby. We "woke up" at about 4.30 not to get frozen. Then along slovakian borderline and even through slovakian territory and then to Babia Gora. We were getting higher. Plants looked like these in Tatras, then some rocks. There was some ice between rocks at height about 1650m, but air temperature was higher. We didn't stay for long time at the peak of Babia Gora, it was getting windy and colder. Some pictures and walk down. The worst thing was to walk through a hot asphalt (contrasting with ice on the top) in the longest polish country - Zawoja. At last - bus stop and travel to Sucha Beskidzka. Then train. Resuming - it was the most tiring and diversified trip on the way for KGP. Over 100km by foot during 5 days in unexpected contrasting circumstances. Achievement even better, because I have spent only 70PLN for 5 days on mountain routes.
