I did the Turmwanderweg, a hike in Brandenburg from Bad Freienwalde to Falkenberg. Ze Germans have a strange obsession with putting big towers in the middle of nowhere, for the purpose of climbing and admiring the scenery. This hiking route traversed between six of these for us to check out on our way. We had great weather, and a nice bunch of people as always 🙂

Out with the “proper” camera and in with the GoPro 🙂 I remember seeing these when they first came out. I was super jealous, as I had attempted to make action cameras out of old camera parts before and the quality was nothing like as good as these fancy new GoPro things. Unfortunately their price was stupidly high too. The price is still stupidly high, but I’m not as poor now, and the quality is even better. After the death of my old Canon G1X, I realised that I really enjoyed having an indestructible easy to use camera which I could use at any time and anywhere, hence I decided to upgrade from my little Mobius to a GoPro Hero Silver and don’t have any immediate plans to replace my old “proper” camera.
Thanks to Mo for taking the picture of me, and Anna for posing for the giant eye shot.

Six months ago, I set a fitness goal of beating my time of 53.5 minutes in the Oslo Sentrumsløpet, 10 km running race held in Oslo each yet. So I headed back to Oslo, but a combination of snow, overheating, hay fever and perhaps a lower level of fitness than I should have, led to me not beating that time :/ My time was 54 minutes 39 seconds. They at least gave me a medal for it though 🙂
My next goal is run in the Potsdam half marathon on June. That should be fairly straightforward as I only intend to run it, and am not aiming to beat any particular time (2 hours is a vague goal, but I have no idea if that is realistic or not since I’ve never timed myself over the distance before).
Edit: The Potsdam half marathon never happened because Mo, who I was going to run in it with, pulled out.
Some photos from a recent hiking trip I went on from Schmachtenhagen to Borgsdorf, in Brandenburg, near Berlin. The photos were taken on my new Mobius C2 action camera.
People always say “how long does that take to grow” and I really had no idea, so I decided to measure it this time 🙂 18 days and I was sick of it.

Those of you who have seen me exercising in the past few years, will have noticed that I stretch the heck out of my Achilles tendon before doing anything. After a few years of doing this, my Achilles tendon is finally starting to feel healthy again 🙂
The picture was taken during a day hiking trip in Brandenburg. Thanks to Janie for taking the photo.
The last time I went abseiling was in 1992. That time didn’t go so well, mostly because we had a silly teacher barking orders at us rather than just letting us hoppity hop our way down the cliff! This time went much more smoothly and was really quite easy 🙂 This was in a small canyon in Jordan, near the Dead Sea.
Thanks to Anarchy Productions for the pictures, which I stole from their video footage.
