Briefly:
20:30 (CEST) - leaving home, children have chicken pox, wife's mouth looks like a viper sack
20:48 - departure from Letohrad by train
20:41 - arrival in Stare Mesto pod Sneznikem (540m asl); night; glittering storm in the south; Paprsek cottage - 7,5 km by green (My base camp will be 1km next)
20:50 - short wandering, blue tourist sign is not green, but in the dark they look like the same
21:02 - the last street lamp, headlamp is prepared
21:10 - turn on a forest asphalt road, headlamp is switched on only for the sign checking
21:25 - sharp turn on a field path, headlamp is switched on permanently, the path is poor recognizable, there is drought, old dry grass is dusting in lamp light, moths are flying, sometimes thunderbolt shines from afar without thunder
21:30 - first steep; it's beginning to rain, but the stars are shining above my head;
21:50 - Stary kopec (Old hill) - 830m asl, after that shallow saddle and second steep, rain is very very light
22:05 - Větrov (Wind hill) - 919m asl, rain is stopped, cottage Paprsek is shining in the dark on the hill in front of me
22:10 shallow grass saddle; green tourist sign is lost on a while; deers' eyes are greeny glowing in darkness
22:20 short snack ; bloody nose (hell); what path is the right; green tourist sign is lost on a while again
22:40 a crossroad near cottage Paprsek, last kilometer to Rose shack on red sign
22:50 Rose shack , it's closed but there is a opened verandah, here I'm going to sleep
22:51 a little bird has already slept in the verandah, it fly off, at first it looked like a bat
23:05 I lie in sleeping bag
the 24-th of April
00:05 a finch sings (??), shut up, I want to sleep
01:05 storm with thunder and lightning, but according to numeric forecast it shall be before sunrise; roof protects
01:35 the storm is off, well, I hope that morning will be without rain
03:00 it rains again, now without storm, it's worse, because it will be longer
03:10 rain is very strong; first drops are going through holes in the roof; I have to change my sleep place
04:00 alarm clock is ringing; it still rains; floor is wet; I lie on narrow bench; deep dark
04:10 I'm sitting and thinking, the rain is too strong, it's impossible to go on OL-047 and make portable. I could look on forecast on internet, my cell phone has signal but without credit. Last bucks were spent yesterday evening when I looked on wether radar situation. Ou sh..!
04:15 rain grews weak; I eat breakfast quickly - bread with butter and salami and wather; I'm packing the sleeping bag, the mat and so on. I'm wearing waterproof gaiter (on shoes) and gore-tex jacket.
04:45 I leave to the rain; sleeping bag and mat are hidden under floor; dark; sunrise will be even at 05:50
04:50 path is all one big puddle and mud
05:05 The Bears' cottage; the rain is again stronger; I'm dressing a raincoat; near a little tent stands
05:10 The rain is so strong the water began flowing through waterproof gaiters into my shoes (These gaiters is litle bit older...)
05:19 2.5 km to OL-047; I make decision: The portabling on OL-047 isn't possible in this wether, I must turn back to Rose shack and wait to rain stop. If it better I'll try to go on OL-014 or go back to train station.
05:54 Rose shack; I'm little wet, not from rain, but the raincoat isn't absolutely breathable therefore it's almost the same - rain or sweat
05:56 the rain almost stopped, above OL-047 is little part of clean sky; ou sh...
06:00 It rains - strongly
06:25 rain let up, but only for a short time
06.30 little wind, getting cold
06:40 rain goes down again, sky's is little bit brighter
06:45 I can't be waiting, with last drops I leave on OL-014
07:00 The path is terrible, big puddles, deep mud and wet little spruces . Fortunately rain is stopped, I hope definitely.
07:12 OL-047: On the top !! (07:14 I found summit's geocach)
