The cloud forecast indicated it should have been sunny again by around 7:00 AM, but it seems that won't happen until late this morning. Although, seeing the chestnut trees with sunburn and the dry ditches, nature needs less sun and a bit more rain. However, when I think about our appointments today

Today's meeting point was at the Waldschule in Aurich Egels. With sunny and warm weather, eight of us started a round through the Egelser forest. The slight coolness in the forest did everyone a lot of good, and it even happened that we walked past a fork in the road, thus incorporating a detour that

For the ADFC Aurich after-work tour, we had around 20 participants today, even though the weather was very changeable all day today, with rain and a lot of wind. But it stayed dry during the tour, only the wind was still blowing strongly. Along the way, there was a nice, long conversation which shortened

It must have rained quite a bit during the night, because this morning everything was wet and the paths in the forest started to get muddy again. But there were already gaps in the clouds and a little sun. Towards the end of the loop, the sky even turned really blue and the clouds became fewer and fewer

I can't explain why my GPS reset itself during the tour. It must have clicked through various menus from the screen lock, triggering a reset. Not only was the current route gone, but all old saved routes had disappeared and the screen settings had changed. So I planned and saved the route. I was also

This time, the meeting point for the hiking group was the red arched bridge over the Ems-Jade Canal. Despite it being summer and holiday season, there were at least ten of us who met for a run. Today's route was a little shorter, which was due to the fact that it was warmer than predicted. I personally

After 10 weeks of absence, I participated again in the ADFC's monthly after-work tour. And then there were three unexpected events right away. I was to blame for the first one, because I had gotten the start time wrong by half an hour. Of course, nobody was at the harbor yet when I arrived. But going

Even in East Frisia, temperatures have risen above 30° and the nights remain tropical. This morning at sunrise, it was still 21° in the shade. However, the perfect temperature for hiking. With the rising sun, it quickly became much warmer, as unfortunately there wasn't even a light breeze. The only somewhat

With the extremely warm weather with temperatures over 30 degrees, I preferred to cycle to the meeting point of the hiking group today instead of walking. Besides, I had an appointment at the KVHS afterwards.

Today we were only six people, it was probably too hot, 31-32 degrees is not good for most of the hiking group, especially since the average age is well over 60 years. The heat then becomes quite strenuous. But we took regular drinking breaks along the way, reduced the pace a bit, and ended up covering

The longest day of the year, the longest journey so far ended yesterday, and there was the first hike in familiar territory. Nature has already changed a lot since we left in April. Everything is growing lushly, is green, and changes the landscape. The deer seemed more trusting this morning and stayed

The 60th and final day of our journey has dawned, and it was the 63rd tour during this time. We had booked a campsite directly on the Ems for the past night, so it was practically an invitation to hike along the Ems. There is a hiking trail on both sides of the Ems, but on the southern side heading east

The 62nd tour on the 59th day was, contrary to expectations, a small torture. We are near Limburg an der Lahn and the forest here is left in a wild and natural state by the Hessian forestry authority. Old forestry paths are being reclaimed by nature and overgrown, fallen trees remain as deadwood. This

The 58th day and Tour number 61 started from the parking spot, first into the vineyards and a bit uphill, to then walk through the Zeubelrieder Moor nature reserve. The landscape here near Würzburg is relatively flat or only gently hilly. After the vineyards, we passed by a wildlife park, which of course

Today I was out quite late for my standards, at 6:45 AM. But since I don't set an alarm clock to get up, it depends on when I wake up. And if the body needs a little longer, then it should take the rest it needs. So, I went out later than usual this morning in radiant sunshine and blue skies for a short
