On Wednesday August 10 we activated one summit - SP/BI-030
WX was very nice but windy - short movie recorded on the final stage of ascent
Couple of photos
Summit area
Mast was erected only partially and requested to help him to keep vertical position against the wind
Final stage of descent.
We were lucky because just a few minutes after we entered the car very haevy rain was occured.
Always better to have it in the car not on the route

Beautiful landscapes of Polish Bieszczady “no civilization area”

Hi Jarek,
I heard and called you between 0700 and 0800 on 20m but conditions were fading, probably due to increasing sun at your end.

Hi Andrew,
I saw your spots but it was no copy from your side
See you next time

Today activated SP/BI-011 together with Łukasz @SQ9JTR.
