Distance: 17,5 km Speed: 5,5 kmph Time: 3h10m Soundtrack: Did You Give the World some Love Today Baby by Doris I AM DONE! There'll no doubt be many afterthoughts in the next days or weeks that I hope to share with you, but I'd like to at least give a quick summation and my first... Continue Reading →
BoPoWalk day 29: Nauen to Staaken (Berlin)
Distance: 22,5 km Speed: 5,2 kmph Time: 4h20m Soundtrack: Berlin by Briskeby (for obvious reasons... ) So, I am in Berlin! I am still on the very outskirts and still have a final 17 km to go tomorrow to reach Berlin HBH and my final destination for this journey, but whatever happens now I can... Continue Reading →
BoPoWalk day 28: Liepe to Nauen
Distance: 22 km Speed: 5,2 kmph Time: 4h10m Soundtrack: Radio Ga Ga by Queen Today was harder than expected. Partly because I expected it to be dry. It was not. I wouldn't be surprised if it rained just as much as yesterday, just in shorter and more intense bursts. So there was some running and... Continue Reading →
BoPoWalk day 27: Rathenow to Liepe
Distance: 20,5 km Speed: 5,6 kmph Time: 3h40m Soundtrack: Why Do You Love Me by Garbage* *Because of the text "I get back up and I do it again, I get back up and I do it again... " So I remember reading a while ago that rainy hikes are slower than non-rainy ones. Which... Continue Reading →
BoPoWalk day 26: Schönhausen to Rathenow
Distance: 19,5 km Speed: 5 kmph Time: 3h53m So today was another easy day (mostly), and my first hike under 20 km - even my hiking app defines this distance as intermediate, and not expert (like all the others have been). I spent much of the morning walking along a path close to the train... Continue Reading →
Sarah and the accidental rest day
So, today I was going to take the train across the river and only have to walk about 7-8 km, however through a misunderstanding I got picked up by my hosts at the train station. Either they didn't understand that my intention was to walk (it's kind of hard to explain without additional context why... Continue Reading →
BoPoWalk day 21-22: Neuferchau to Kalbe to Stendal
Distance (total): 52 km (28+24) Soundtrack: I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) by the Proclaimers OK, so it's kilometres, not miles, but who's counting? (I am, I am!) I actually breached the 500 barrier yesterday and am now at a total of 551,5 km walked, which means I have about 100 to go. Peanuts, right?! As... Continue Reading →
BoPoWalk day 21: Ehra to Neuferchau
Distance: 23 km Speed: 4,6 kmph Time: 5h3m Soundtrack: Symphony No 9 by Ludwig van Beethoven Ladies and gentlemen, today was a walk in the park! Not literally, it was still 23 km and took me through some fields, some woods, along some roads, etc., before I reached my destination. But, it was EASY. I... Continue Reading →
BoPoWalk day 20: Hohne to Ehra
Distance: 32 km Speed: 4,7 kmph Time: 6h44m Soundtrack: Fix You by Coldplay I'm kinda liking this aesthetic I have going with beautiful idyllic pictures of nature juxtaposed with me whining about my feet and how lonely I am. Aren't you? No? Well too bad, it's my project and I'll whine if I want to...... Continue Reading →
