Project quite likely: Day 4

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.

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.

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.
