There’s this game, Pokemon Go. And that other game. Pikmin bloom. THe latter a glorified step counter, the first – essentially a collector’s challenge. Both are on my phone. Together with ingress which also encourages to walk or move self propelled outdoors. With ingress I started to participate in GORUCK events. Actually putting a load on my back and walk…
In the official paper with information from our village government, they had an advertisement, showing off a trailer for a bicycle, which you can pull along on tours. The big advantage: you can just crash at the roadside when you are tired, grab some sleep and coutinue. Not so easy with a tent – that’s forbidden. So I booked one…
Just a few pics – GORUCK and Anomaly. This entry comes super late, so I just didn’t have writing time.
Oh yeah. Last year. Kind of I feel that I have picked up all the travels which I missed out on the year before. I was in a lot of new places. Saw new places, regions, countries. First time ever in Norway. Learning about this world, cycling over borders. Starting post-pan-Europe bikepath cycling. But I also am observing our world.…
Goodbye Oslo, here I come, Eurovelo. Europe is covered with a network of bicycle pathways, connecting Europe, connecting countries, showing beautiful places, reliving history, so I thought. So I took a close look at this network. Since I have finished the Pan Europe bike path I was on the lookout for a new project. WOuld it be the „around the…
Mission day. Six missions and the participation in Operation Clear Field – yet another GORUCK event. This time there are XF teams as well as mono-Faction teams roaming the city on a wild scavenger hunt which includes photos, videos, PT, and lots of coolpoints. CadreBarbarossa gave us the task sheet digitally (after the rainy event in Athens where we needed…
Control Oslo. Oslo.willbe.blue. Oslo needs to be blue… World domination – or at least site domination. This game is not only connectong the people in my faction together. This game connects both sides. None can do without the other. An anomaly gets boring if the opposition is not there. Control Oslo. We knew there’d be a lot RES agents coming.…
This was the day when we were scheduled to meet again, to ruck together. GORUCK, again – this is a demanding feat – you need tohave basic fitness, and the will to continue. We had a last minute signup and were amazed that he joined us – and he proved to be a valuable addition to our team. Actually –…
When ingress announced the sites for the 2023 anomalies, I thought, I’d get to Reims and that’s it. Then I got an Athens trip as a gift – and after rucking in Athens I kind of had to figure out how to go to Oslo or Madrid. Flying for a pixel-in-scanner game… yes I flew to Rome for a weekend,…
Sorry, guys at Mammutmarsch.de – for me this is my old home – Wiesbaden – the city where I grew up, where I went to school, where I went swimming – to the playgrounds, Where we scouts were meeting up in Dambachtal. Where Burg Sonnenberg was a standard destination to walk to – passing by even more playgrunds. Sorry, guys,…
