Over the past week I visited four Christian Orthodox wooden churches. All in small villages and all very humble. I had never seen a. Orthodox Church before. I noticed that all 4 temples were similarly

I started the morning at 5am by going to a village that… doesn’t exist. You will find Lipowiec on a map but no one lives there. This report was published via Actifit app (Android | iOS). Check out the

Ever wondered how the “end of the world” looks like? I am sure there are many ends. I visited one today. During my 27km hike I didn’t meet any tourist and the only people I saw were two forest workers.

Good hiking day. Even though most of it was in rain. Visited two old wooden Orthodox churches. One in use, the other a museum. Far from being an Orthodox faithful, I have a sentiment for those little churches.

Guiding a group of 30 people is like shepherding. Both sheep and people need to be counted. Both have a tendency to go astray. Humans however have an interest (sometimes) in learning about the trail and

Another day of hiking & learning the Beakidy Mts. The best lesson was however in the late evening when we sat down with the host of our B&B and listened to his local stories. This report was published

My mountain guide course spans 14 months. Each month we have a “long weekend” trip to a chosen part of the Beskidy Mts. It’s very intense. We hike and the learn the mountains in terrain. Lots of knowledge

(photos borrowed from a friend, made during our Saturday hike) I am big time fan of @poprzeczka aka “crossbar” - an @actifit competition run by @racibo. To stay in the competition I needed either 34k steps

Misty and mystique Gorce Mts in Poland. I love hiking in weather like this. Feels like being outside of time and space. Without the horizon, one thinks “I’ve seen that fallen tree already”. I could walk

Today is my 15th work anniversary with my current employer. Got an email from the CEO. But haven’t got any t-shirt ;-). Which is good - rather than having a useless piece of cotton shipped from India to

As expected, a hot day has ended with a thunderstorm. I was in a park / forest then. Fortunately the thunders were rambling some 10-15km away. I got wet, but it was the pleasant summer rain. It didn’t

A front with thunderstorms brought a repite from heat. Another one forecasted for tomorrow and then temperatures will rise again. Enjoyed a pleasant and relaxed walk in the evening cool. This report was

The goal for today - 27k steps- completed, but not without difficulties. I needed 27k for @poprzeczka. In theory, having made 26k yesterday, I could skip today and tomorrow and aim for Wednesday. However,

How many HIVEans have you met in person? My list is very short: @asia-pl, @dotevo, @ptaku, @sk1920 and perhaps two more whom I had recruited but who haven’t been mucha active. Today @wadera, my favourite
