5 Celsius tonight! Love my hammock setup!

[Aetas]

Hope we could see some of your IH insulations you’ve definitely must have used, I’ll guess!! @CosmoSix5

[CosmoSix5]

@Aetas no IH sadly. Great warm Warbonnet top quilt, hammock gear under quilt, merino hoody and base layer by duckworth.

Expectations were high and Patagonia still exceeds them so far. Loge this place!

Heres a shot from yesterdays „Mirador Cuernos“ hike in the Torres del Paine National Park. Still have to pinch myself…

Now in El Calafate for Perito Moreno

@weftyarn this is great. Patagonia is on my bucket list for sure.

@Giles Love your pics. Always good to get outside for a hike with @Madame-Buttonfly

beautiful frosty morning run by a lake near my cottage here in SH

[SKT]

@endo beautiful. And I enjoyed the link. SH looks like an incredibly diverse part of Germany, wondering if you still hear any Danish spoken?

[endo]

@SKT Thank you. There is a lot Danish around here. Most village's names end with '-by' which means 'town' in Danish. There are Danish speaking schools, town signs are both in German and Danish, and the political party of the Danish speaking minority (the SSW) has special rights, like getting into our regional and also the national parliament without the 5%-barrier. But most of all, it's just a beautiful part of Germany. Little inhabited (for German standards), happy people, between two Seas with hundreds of lakes. My cottage is located between the Eckernförde Bay and the Schlei.

@endo looks like a wonderful place to spend “holiday” time (or any time for that matter)

@endo I was recently reading about the Nord Sud hiking trail in Germany and saw that it went through your neck of the woods. Looks like a beautiful place to explore. Enjoy your time there!

[endo]

This one? It's part of the E1, one of the European hiking trails and it passes not far from my house. I'd love to do it full, maybe when I'm retired ...

[Denman John]

@endo Yes, the first link was the one I was referring to. I hadn’t heard of the E1, but it looks epic. I’m fortunate that I have a lot of great local hiking trails around me and find peace in the mountains and forests. I have often dreamed of going on an extended hike for months at a time, but like you, it will probably have to wait until retirement as well. I found that I was getting into my stride and feeling strong and confident after 10 days trekking in Nepal and could have easily kept going. Something about the simplicity of hiking and being on the trail is so alluring…
