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…
Someone had the glorious idea to have a GORUCK event in Berlin. No, not one, not two, but three GORUCK events (BASIC style) – GORUCK BASIC are events for around six hours, including plenty of rucking, plenty or PT, exhaustion, sore feet, maybe some water, and learning. Not „just“ psychologically („I think I can I think I can“) but literally…
Fifty (or so) shades of sky……
After two years COVID restrictions and apprehensive planning, we wanted to get back to vacationing but for that virus isn’t gone and won’t be gone, soon, we decided, not to fly but to rent a house in far away Brittany, in Camaret-sur-Mer. Car packed, and we went our merry ways West, and farther West, avoiding tollways, until we reached Velizy,…
Ingress introduced me to this crazyness, but I got hooked – whenever I tell someone, that I am roaming the landscape carrying a 15kg backpack, letting some cadre command me to do exercises which tend to hurt (hurt as in exhaustion hurt, not injury hurt) whenever I tell this to someone, then they question this. Why? Why would you have…
I just took a look at the old Paris blogs – this really looks pretty much the same – take a vehicle of my choice, set off, take a whole day for the travel – arrive in the evening – find a way to the city’s biggest river, check the area – playing an ingress banner – even have a…
It has been some time since I started my Paneuropa bike path project. More – it was right when we moved to Kronau and I did my long distance training, passing this little blue and yellow sign, me reading „Paneuropa bike path“ and I set my mind on riding the whole thing. Maybe even earlier, when I watched a documentary…
Two more legs of the PanEurope Bike path.I will not get to Prague or even Nuremberg but I want to get a bit farther East than Heilbronn.Now my first planning tool was google maps – plus the attempt to find a GPS which fits with my Garmin system.Again gpsies was the way to go…Google maps because I have to take…
This is the other project: the European long distance hike… It goes North South… As posted before – at the end I’d like to have hiked and/or biked all of Europe.Why? Because connections best happen person to person. Face to face.And because I want to… training for endurance. Maybe for a Megamarsch type event. Sightseeing at places which are not…
The train. Nothing really, just a really really long trip. Starting directly from home, I packed my bike, pumped the tires and set off… There is a Baden Wuerttemberg ticket which lets you go anywhere in this state. Meaning I could go to Kehl, which is half an hour from Strassburg main station.Then hop on the bike. Then hop into…
