Hi, you' ve reached the website dedicated to my expeditions. I hope you will find here something interesting for you and maybe for your friends ;) This site is meant to (some time...) present all my expeditions, which have been somehow documented (and there have been quite many, although still too few) and certainly it will grow. Thus, pay me a visit from time to time and be almost sure to find something new here :) If you already like it here, why not join my Partnership programme? :) |
Later I started going to the Polish mountains with my buddies, first trips on my own to come only a bit later. This was when I was 16 that I “fled” from home to Gorce and Beskid Żywiecki. Surprisingly, when my parents found out that my friend and his father had not come with me, they came to better understand my drive to the unknown and stopped putting any serious frontiers to my developing that drive. However, this was also the time, when I learnt that I am definitely a social creature and that excursions on my own are not what I like the most.
So once I treated myself to an “organised” trip and went to Beskid to a student's excursion. This turned out to be a complete disaster, so from then on I have believed I must be a very individualistic guy. That's why ever since have I organised my trips by myself but gone to them with a group of two to six people. Of course “6” is not the magic number. This was just how the things were going and this was good, as this is roughly the number of buddies, which allows to act in an acceptably good co-operation. (Although not always, which you will be able to learn if you manage to go through this website).
I
“discovered” the bike quite late. Despite my riding
it from
the
times I had been a kid, only being about 16 did I learn that it can be
used for something more than short trips to the forest nearby. At first
I took up riding in the city to deal with all my
“businesses” thus totally avoiding public
transport.
Thereafter came the trips outside
the town, farther and farther, still, however, one-day long. The
first “expedition” was organised by me and my
cousin when I
was 20. We went to middle and western Slovakia. This was it! Hills all
around, good roads and this unbelievable freedom,
which bike can give you. Freedom of turning away from the main
roads, going to places more remote than those available on foot
and this fantastic uncertainty of tomorrow.
After this trip I thought I would be going cycling each year but
then... climbing came.
Obviously ever since I had been "ascending the trees" I would dream about it but never befere did it occur to me that this dream was so easy to achieve. And then I went to a climbing course and suddenly it was possible to start discovering the vertical world! This dicovery has lasted ever since but it is true that for a couple of years it has obscured to me all other forms of activity and thus cycling had to wait for its turn for quite a while. Still the bike was biding its time and finally I came back to it, which you will be able to read here, too. Now that you already know me a bit, do say “mellon” and enter the world of my expeditions...
