“Two blondes are looking for the rail trail? Sure!” I hear you gaggling. For some of you it might even be a thigh-slapper. But be careful, matey, if you can do better! Okay, I admit that today we did the rail trail challenge for the second time. And well, again we missed the right way at some point. It is
There is no doubt about it, the ongoing Corona-Crisis is a pain in the neck. It limits my mobility. But there are also positive aspects to it. I begin to move in local recreation areas and discover new things in well-known places from the past. And that is meant in a litterally sense because this sunday we go back in
Nothing is wrong with a bit of fun, especially if it happens with God’s blessing. This weekend I am not on a hiking trip it is mountain biking. I start on friday with a tour from Brunsweick via Wolfenbüttel, Apelnstedt und Sickte, returning from there through the forest to Brunswick. On saturday an evening tour leads me to the old
A podcast I listened to recently was thought-provoking to me; the result is a research. It is about what friendship really means and what the different variants of it are. The topic attracts special notice in times of Corona, because friendship has never been more important than now. And still the assumption is self-evident that not all friends are alike
Today getting up was not easy at all. Waking up I notice that I am kind of aching all over – a little bit. Yesterday’s long-distance hike across the nature preserve Elm-Lappwald is taking its toll: we were out and about for 6.5 hours. According to the tour descriptions (I merged two trails) the two loop hikes should have summed
Slowly but surely there is a routine to a way of acting towards others I would have considered impossible some time ago: restraining order and to keep my social distance. A trio of three things is beginning to assert itself: to go for a walk with only one friend at a time obeying the distance rules, to enjoy nature with
The new and to date unsual regulations of distance between persons in public brought up a new phenomena: it is getting crowded on walking trails and parks around Brunswiek. In the absence of alternatives such as cinemas, exhibitions, shopping centres or sport events more and more people start going for a blow. I cannot remember that I have witnessed such
It is weired how some products who nobody took really notice of so far come to the fore in times of crisis: soap dispensers and toilet paper. In expert groups there is talk of “white gold”. I do not know whether these paper rolls made of cellulose are already traded on the stock exchange, instead of bitcoins. Well, joking aside.
Yesterday I took a ride with my mountainbike. My MP3-player suddenly played the song “the world stands still” by Jan Delay. That could be the hymne for the next weeks if not months. According to the impressions I received today upon a flying visit in Hannover and the yet to come health risks and economical challenges for the world the
We are currently witnissing a big crisis. In order not to panic you need things in your life that please you and divert you from the daily flow of bad news. I decided on a walk through the park to take pictures of trees and plants blossoming. It really calmed me down and guided my attention on beautiful colours and
