Since we had a double ticket with the Visiodrom Wuppertal, we drove to the 'Mythos Wald' exhibition at the Gasometer in Oberhausen today - because it's raining.
It was a very informative and wonderfully illustrated exhibition about the forest and its inhabitants - including humans - and how they interact

Today by car to Wuppertal Parkstrasse. Jürgen joined me for the long tour.
From the parking lot first through the Ronsdorfer Anlagen, then about 700 meters through the settlement and into the Huckebachtal.
We follow the valley stream for almost 2 km, then we automatically arrive in the Gelpetal.

On Saturdays, at the end of September, it's always fair day for our group. We always meet around 2 PM at the entrance by the beer stand. Whoever comes, comes. Around 2:30 PM we start a round tour. There's always something to eat and drink. Pretzels, gherkins, and potato pancakes are a must. 3 years ago

Today was the post-op check-up appointment for my wife at the eye doctor's. Since it often takes 2-3 hours despite the appointment, I went for a shopping and sightseeing tour through Hilden. Treated myself to an ice cream at the end. 😊
From the Kronengarten past the Catholic Church to the Itter. Briefly

Since the craftsman cancelled, after the Kieser training, shopping in NL and B was on the agenda.
First to Niederkrüchten to Intratuin. Here we bought the missing plants - creeping carpet verbena - Summer Pearls. They are not available in any garden center in our area at the moment.
From there we continued

Thanks to @Schrenki, he did a similar tour a while ago. 👍
Unfortunately, the tour today cannot be hiked as is, because at a section, there is a gate with a sign 'Private - trespassing forbidden'. Since I still went through there at the end of last year, I dared to do it. Unfortunately, it's totally overgrown

Tour very nice - always possible. 👍 Since there was an accident last time, it had to be aborted. Today, by popular demand, the renewed attempt. Jürgen and I were the hiking guides, 2 like-minded people joined us. All others returned from the hiking week with a cold 🤣

Since my VW dealer had a family day with test drives, food, and play equipment for children today, we planned the day.
1. To the Turkenburg garden center near Mettmann.
2. VW Family Day
3. Time Tunnel in Wülfrath
It worked out: we got almost everything at the garden center. At VW, I sat in various cars and

Since the TSV is currently on a hiking week, I am out alone and feel like it.
By train from Haan to Lennep. Despite a 12-minute transfer time, the connection doesn't work 🫣
First of all: a tour on many beautiful natural paths, sometimes wide, sometimes narrow, sometimes with roots or gravel. A few sections

On the way to LeShuttle, we made a stop at Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Railway.
A steam locomotive just departed.
It is a narrow-gauge railway in daily operation

Since DHL was unable to drop a small letter with tips for my hiking pole into the mailbox, I had to pop into town to pick it up.
Complaining is useless, as they use subcontractors.
At least I got some fresh air today and treated myself to a small ice cream.
Only briefly along the main road, otherwise on
