Since others started threads in different languages (German, Italian and Spanish), I wanted to see how many Polish members we have on SummitPost. I know there are quite a few, so I wanted to see who they are and have an opportunity to post in Polish.

Swietny pomysl....w koncu nie bede musial wysilac swojego kiepskiego angielskiego.

Mam nadzieje, ze reszta Polakow tez sie zorientuje...

Bardzo dobry pomysl, jak i ten z planem spotkania sie w Tatrach grona z Europy Srodkowej, ktore tu bywa i cokolwiek się udziela. Aktualnie jestem troche poza obiegiem, zycie...

I'm not Polish and I don't speak a word of the language.

I'm only posting here because I just received an old book (1956) called "Na Szczytach Tatr" I can't understand a word of it except it's obviously about the Tatra Mountains. Lots of black and white photos of the scenery and climbers using the equipment of the day. Looks like they used a lot of home-made gear in those days - etriers, chest harnesses made from rope etc.

Not sure what to do with it. It may be of historical interest. Maybe I should scan a couple of the photos. Anyone interested in translating the captions into english?

Is that the one written by Kazimiesz Saysse- Tobiczyk? He wrote several books of that series- that some kind of encyclopedia of Polish mountaineering.
If it's not forbidden by law so you may scan the photos and put it on SP I may do the translation- no problem.

Regards
jacek

Hi jacek.

Yes that is the author.

I have no idea what the copyright on this book is. There is nothing at the front of the book that looks like copyright warnings, but there is something at the back that looks like it could be....

No to fajnie, miejmy nadzieje, ze sie to rozkreci. Wiem, ze jest tu tez kilku Polakow mieszkajacych w Stanach i w Kanadzie.
Nigdy nie mialem okazji wspinac sie w Polsce (zainteresowalem sie gorami dopiero po wyjezdzie do Kalifornii), ale chcialbym sie kiedys wybrac w Tatry, no i oczywiscie w Alpy.
Pozdrawiam, Krzysiek.

Hey Dad, welcome to the Polish forum. Good to have you here Looks like there are quite a few people here to help with translating the captions. Would love to see those old photos.
Cheers!

G'day Kris,

I'll be happy to contribute some of the photos for the enjoyment of you blokes on the Polish team. I'll start scanning when I get back to my office.

Cheers everyone.

Fajnie Krzysiu. Zapraszamy do Polski, zapraszamy. Jak Ty przyjedziesz to wtedy napewno zlot zrobimy

Ok, Dave. We're waiting.

Pozdrawiam.
