Hi Guys,

I'm thinking about the next bike project with our son Mikolaj and I wonder how cycleable is the valley of the Poprad river in the Beskid Sadecki. Google maps shows a small road on the opposite shore of the main road and I wonder how safe it is to ride. The Galileos maps show also a red-marked dash like that means a cycle route. I tried to look for informations on the web in Polish about it, but not very successful...
Any help highly appreciated !

Another question:
Some french friends of mine plan to make an alpine-skiing tour in the Tatras, but the dates of their availability in April go ahead of the 15th April, latest date according to the TANAP regulations. However I heard and read about many people skiing later than this date.
Anyone's advice will be highly appreciated !
Eric

They don't appear in "What's new" since they used to be albums, and they are now transformed into mountains.

These mountains just have to be interesting to me. Just started reading - 1st critical remark I'd rather the size of the page was smaller - can't see the point of making it this big if most of the pics are rather small. And I guess if my screen was a bit smaller, I wouldn't bother to read at all.

Some forgotten lakes

I forgot to mention these pages cannot be viewed on the iPhone neither Android

I'm looking for something "fun" and hard in eastern europe for this winter (first week of january) Maybe I'll just go back to the alps ...

Sjarelkwint, what I told you is no bullshit...

Please be careful if you go to the Tatras.

Transformed and earlier photo album of mine into a trip report, of course with the story written up: Adventurous trekking in the Rodnei Mountains:

I'm sure these will be futher developed but are already not bad.

Here is the story behind it

Andreea and Jacek, you are legends.

One remark - from those many descriptions at SP that I've read I think YDS class 3 is about UIAA I, class 4 is roughly II and 5.0-5.4 is like III.

Are yous thinking of adding peak pages?

1. Andreea is still alive and kicking - I am a legend.
2. Well, those grading scales are confusing (and by Corax). But there's always (i.e. since those legendary good old days of mine ) been a talk about the most exposed part of the South Ridge reaching UIAA I (although it may be an exaggeration) – talking of dry rock, good weather. Actually, IMO the very bottom grades of the UIAA scale (0 to I) aren't very helpful at all. Maybe it'd make more sense to focus on rock quality (chossy/solid) and exposition instead of splitting such easy moves into so many "grades"
3. I bet Andreea has already started.
