Directions

We have to go the distance about 100 km, an indicative time is 1 hour and 30 minutes.With the center of Bielsko-Biala make for Żywiec through 69, located between picturesque Silesian Beskid Beskid and small, and then along the lake Żywiecki. At the first roundabout in the direction towards the center left Zywiec. At the next roundabout go towards Sucha Beskidzka (ul. Freedom, and then ul. Żeromskiego). Go to Żywca and hold the road, at the crossroads, turn left on the path to 946. This time objeżdżamy lake on the other hand). KWe are street Sienkiewicza towards Oczkowa. In Oczkowie turn right onto dry Beskidzka.After 30 km reach Suchej, cross the center and a transit rail is directed to the right to Maków Podhalański (route No 28). .

Prelude, or a few words at the outset.

At the outset, I wanted to thank you for so many participating. Our smallest size without problems, it could feed the entire class of primary school ... But the size and night conditions, as well as the lack of registration for a trip and a lack of records in the fact that ..... that the attendance list is incomplete and missing a few names, nicknames. To bear the guilt for the course organizer, however, asking for leniency in this case, suggests the use of comments and adding to the list of attendance).

Another important question! Despite the insistence of many from the outside, that someone else has a relationship with our trip, strenuous efforts have not led to changes in the situation and if that does not describe, you are doomed to me. Perhaps a good solution in this case is oglądniecie same gallery, this time because the images are not mine)

Night at the entrance Diablaka ...

Our car convoy set out from the Bielska at 22.00. Fortunately, no one lost on the road and planned to saddle Krowiarki arrived. Departure from Bielska can be a bit delayed, so as not to wait too long at the top to the desired setting sun. In the saddle you choose red trail leading straight to the Babia Gora. The expected time to 2h 30 min. JBut we did not have time pressure, on the contrary - ending time work to our advantage. Quite a "severe" approach to Sokolica, began to give some of the characters. The section that runs throughout the forest, of course, about this dark time. Scenery rather good horror movie, the accelerated oddechy, something trzasnęło on the left side, light mist over the forest .... Following the same suspect that the time of departure on Babia Gora in these conditions of about 1h. We more or fewer problems after the win at Sokolica. The summit begins to blow hard enough already, before the tree tłumiły wind. Here, the first joint rest. With the steep cliff emerges goal of our nocturnal journey. Weather is not likely to foster porannemu podziwianiu sun, but our weather has not provided the rain).

Rocks, wind and rain ....

Our group rozciągła, each preferred its own pace. On the ground exposed to the light can only be seen czołówek, sometimes the moon przebijał by dark clouds. Disturbing view, however, is before us. Above Diablakiem dependent black clouds. Babia Top draw us to the test. Kępę win, then Gówniak. We can admire the beautiful panorama of Beskydy night. The whole neighborhood sleeps, you can see only a few lights in most of the transmitters that are similar to what is Skrzycznym. On Gówniaku dopadł us rain, most people already at the top of the dopadł Babia Mountains. The situation is complicated, but the volatility of the weather in the mountains, leaving a shadow of hope. In the rain we get to the summit. The secret of course, the largest group at the summit. Rain continues, but some little przemoczył so before us, heavy minutes waiting for sunrise.. Dark clouds wind goes ... ... to the west. A high-drinks and food, also improved our whims.

We are waiting for the sun ....

What is the sun, in principle, is sunrise? . In the calendar Goździkowej written that after 4.00. Unfortunately, clouds cover the sky in most of Diablakiem. Meanwhile, we learned that Paula has a birthday today, was a shy one hundred years ... but it is such a very shy). Once again, all the best! The sky begins to change color, is getting brighter. The sun has tentatively przebłyskuje between the clouds. Is getting brighter and pleasant!

We return to the saddle

Frozen a bit, but rather, from what I heard, happy the way we head back to pass Krowiarki. At this point, the sun is for us łaskawsze and go over the low clouds embedded. Babia Top of the day it looks quite different, is lit from the east, sun. Such a view has touched even our Stanley, which does not draw omieszkał camera and take a couple of unique photos. They will be unique for sure, because in the age of digital cameras and hundreds of photos made at the time, Stanley did several. But it is still progress). Of course, we are awaiting the publication!
