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 :wink:

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 :wink:

Ascent

Mast erecting

Activation

Descent

Beautiful landscapes of Polish Bieszczady “no civilization area”

The only negative thing - 7,5 km walked by the route shown below

We were upset but we understand that closing the rout is one of guarantee that nice quiet nature area life is secured to be longer …

In the log 39 contacts, 5 of them S2S :wink:

Today I activated two summits that were on my list already but previous activation in November 2015 was in bad rainy WX so I decided to use nice conditions today to repeat them.

SP/BI-002

Activation was on the route, hiking outside is prohibited (National Park), on below photo is SP/BI-001 in the background.

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.
