After getting a good night’s rest at PTTK Murowaniec, our next stop was PTTK Roztoki, and then it was off to Dolina Pięciu Stawów Polskich (The Valley of Five Polish Ponds), which is a couple of valleys to the east of where we were. We had a long hike ahead of us, and unfortunately, it was our first day of real rain. We made our way through the forests and valleys, which offered a very different perspective of the mountains compared to previous days.
Project quite likely: Day 3
Day three and once again, snow putting our original plans to rest, however we still had an achievable aim, finding a peak >2000m which wasn’t covered in snow. So we turned our attention to Dolina Gąsienicowa, specifically Kościelec (‘Caterpillar valley’ and ‘the church’)…
Project quite likely: Day 2
The first full day of the trip, and we planned on this being a big one. This would be the day we set out to head up Rysy (via Morskie Oko), the highest peak in Poland, something that’s been on my bucket list since I first saw it in person 10 years ago. However as they often do, things did not go to plan…
Project quite likely: Day 1
As with most trips, the first day was an early one, heading over to Stansted airport for the first flight out to Kraków. Aside from the usual chaos of getting through Stansted, we had an uneventful journey (exactly what you want). We then picked up the car (quick and easy service from odkryj-auto.pl) and drove down to Zakopane.
Review – ENO Sub 6 Hammock
Whether it’s on a beach, in the back garden or out in the woods there aren’t many people who can turn down a lounge in a hammock. The ENO Sub 6 Hammock is designed to be a lightweight and east to use hammock for while out and about in the woods either as a sleep system, or for just relaxing. I’ve had mine for over five years now so long enough to know it’s capable of surviving a good amount of use.
The mountain call: Project quite likely
There’s a unique thrill that accompanies planning a hiking trip, especially when it involves conquering bucket list mountains and exploring awe-inspiring routes. As you dive into the world of trip preparation, the anticipation builds, particularly when you find yourself glued to webcams, almost daily tracking the snow as it recedes from the mountains. The hope of timely snowmelt, opening up trails for your adventure, adds an extra layer of excitement. In this blog post, I’m introducing Project quite likely.

End of season push
As the football season quickly approaches its end, I find myself reflecting on the incredible season it’s been this year. As a sports photographer, I have had the privilege of capturing some truly unforgettable moments on the pitch, watching my team (The Eagle FC) chase for points right up until the last game.
Vintage TLR video rig
Having recently finished editing my second video with the TLR video rig, I thought I’d share what I used to build it and how I found it to use.
