A small fox and some wooden churches

Krosno • July 22, 2023

A hilly but beautiful ride into Poland through the Magurski National Park. Apparently there are wolves here but I didn't see any, only a small fox. Tonight I'm in Krosno, a town which I would call pleasantly unremarkable and which seems really quiet for a Saturday night. Maybe it gets busy later.

I'm planning to get to Krakow in two days, then spend a couple of days there relaxing and trying to sell the bicycle which I'm a bit sad about, but there it is.

Epic journey, Alan. I would have said the trip of a lifetime except that it wouldn't surprise me if there more of the from you to come. Real shame about having to part with that faithful bike.

You made it to Poland, Al, and nearly 3000k so far. Amazing - that's so impressive! You'll be sad to come to the end of your adventure, but we can't wait to see you.

Hello Al - Pip and I were in Krosno in 2018! We did a river cruise on the Danube and then with my American friends of Polish origin we joined then for a big family reunion there which is where her relatives are from. Your description is perfect! There is a glass factory there and a nice big square. Xx

It has been so interesting following your blog. Makes me wish we could have had adventures like that. And have loved your photos. Your mum has my Exeter donation. Memories of my time in Exeter too.
