February 2005. In January we had to study hard for the exams. We became more experienced, we had more and better equipment. This time we decided to stand up against harsh conditions with premeditation. Weather report showed -33 degrees Celsius. After we came to Boguszow-Gorce we noticed that it isn't that cold, because of clear sky and sunny weather. But walking on Chelmiec took us more time than we expected. We went back fast enough to decide to get to Gory Kamienne and reach Waligora. We should find a place to sleep and count on luck. Most problems we had were caused not by the temperature, but by faithlessly fast forthcoming sunset which didn't wait for us. And we were sinking in snow, so we slowed down to 0,5km/h. We have to crawl in many places just not to stuck deep in snow - we were not prepared for that. The night came from nowhere. We have lost the route long ago. We just listened to the sounds of cars and hoping the road is close. It might sound like taken from a J.O.Curwood novel, but we didn't feel the danger, wolfs and poachers weren't rather expected in that area. I can't remember how do we get to Walbrzych, probably just walking along the road and then using local mass transit. We didn't worry about the ticket for it. It was the only trip, when we didn't realize the whole plan.
