hey! here are the last four #photos from our walk in the #schwarzwald . There were some pretty beautyful trails and - also a little blister-issue. But thanks to being prepared, it was easy to fix and we could enjoy the rest of the walk.
Some more photos and a short clip are on the blog:

I tried to go for a ride in the rain today and it sucked. I was hoping to go meet one of the candidates for governor at a local park and while it was "lightly" raining when I left home after a mile it got worse and the top of my legs were soaked.
The rest of my body was okay. I put my rain jacket hood over my helmet, I had gloves and good hiking shoes but damn, pants and legs were just... wet.
I never *want* to ride in the rain but may have to if I'm stuck at work o…
Rest day - wife wanted to visit the sports shop again (where we brought the hiking shoes). This time I bought a new #hiking trouser as mine starts to show signs of its age slowly...
This vacation starts to be expensive 🤔
But I admit that I thought about getting a new trouser since quite a while anyways.
Cool.
"When you are on trail, you realize that all the other people who are out there are out there for the same reasons that you are," she said.
"And maybe they might use the trail differently. So, for example, Greg is primarily a snowmobiler, but I'm mostly walking and hiking. But we both love the outdoors in the same way."

Our conference is preceeded by a «research school» for junior researchers (typically: PhD students). The RS starts in the afternoon of day 1, then two full days (day 2 and day 3), and ends around noon of day 4 (with transportation to the main conference).

Things I love about visiting the UK:
1. Seeing my family and old friends
2. Great bookshops, often featuring cake and tea
3. Pubs - especially the country ones
4. Good possibilities for outdoor activities like hiking and kayaking.
Things I dislike: all of this basically 👇

Recently I spoke with a woman in a shop about hiking and she said that she's not experienced in the mountains and thus doesn't dare to go alone.
I wondered if such people would feel better if they'd go for example with me (or just any other person who is a bit into the topic). No need to talk, no social obligations, just walking together a route, no sports event, nothing extreme. 🤔 Not as a guided tour, just walking.
And if I would do that.
Matsuo Basho (1644–1694) lived his peculiar life on the conviction that
art could create an awareness that allowed one to see into and communicate the essence of experience.
Throughout his life he searched for the state of being one with the object of his poems,
something he believed a poet needed to reach in order to write truthfully.
This life-long search brought Basho to wandering.
He thought that travelling would lead to a state of karumi (lightness), ess…

As you know, an important part of every nature education trail is a sudden "no entry" sign past the second kilometre.
Yes, you're guessing right — a damaged bridge ahead. By "damaged", I mean a few minor boards are broken, not that it makes any difficulty in crossing it.

Today's topic for #FotoVorschlag “What makes my heart beat,” was practically an invitation to write a more detailed blog post about what motivates me to go out, take photos, and share them.
I hope you like it:
Almost a year ago. But I'm looking forward to those warm autumn days before the cold season.

I tried batch uploading "a couple" (several hundreds) of my GPX tracks from the recent years into #wanderer . It went all smooth! And I finally have the "white areas" which I didn't walk or cycle -- yet! :D
When people ask me if I'm out and about often, I never know what to say. I try to get into nature once in a while, yes.
1. Go to the forest.
2. Learn that Wisława #Szymborska was making collages.
3. A #cat!

huh. TIL: there is a “four corners” place in Canada, like there is more famously in the USA, where Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet.
But ours is automatically cooler, figuratively and literally*, because it is a: at 60° Latitude, and b: involves two Territories and two Provinces.
It is where the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba meet.
It is also a LOT harder to get to. Though arguably, as it is amongst the thousands of lakes in the area, during the summer, a float plane would get you there.
Also, technically. It is not a perfect “joining” on the map which is just bad planning on Canada’s part, but at least it is hiking distance. Or that might be just a projection issue. They seem to converge at 60N 102W. I guess I could consult an official boundary document or something :)

It's been a day with a lot of input. The absolute opposite of this where I was completely alone.

Half an hour wait for the next train? Why not walk to the viewing platform in front of #Kłodzko Fortress? You surely won't regret walking all the way up, on these grid gangways and grid fences that make you perfectly aware how high up you are, and with strong wind blowing onto you as soon as you pass the corner.

Hey guys, let your path be always be filled with sunshine and a great view ahead.
Enjoy your weekend, stay safe, healthy and happy. Block the hate and be friendly to a random person. Often it's just a smile, a "good morning" that's a welcome surprise to someone.

On Saturday, I've visited the #Domaszków-#Tarchalice Polder, and was positively surprised. I kinda expected a wet grassy area, but instead I've found a dense #forest, which apparently hasn't been destroyed by Polish Forestry Service mania of wood harvesting.
Nearest train stop: #Orzeszków. Best reached with transfers in Leszno and Głogów. You can also go straight from Wrocław, but that's boooring.
