Young Pup Hike 3: Day 2

Breakfeast: Bread, Cheese and cactus thea

Departure: 8.50 am

Target: Blankenberge

Arrival at Target: Didn't got there

Dinner: cakes and water

Supper: At home

Woke up at 8 am. First I putted the kettle on and and start to break up my tent. Had some breakfeast and got going.

Halfway the next city i got a phone for a job the next day.

So Instead of going to Blankenberge, I went to the train station and got to Home. ( eveything for a job, wright?)

So my vacation was shortened quite a bit but I'm happy with this first job offer.

Mostly My back and shoulders hurt. The pain in my shoulders is mostly because I have the wrong size of backpack. I am gonna buy a new one.

Maybe it wil be the Abisko from Fjällräven. Or maybe the Deuter I wrote about some earlier this year. We'll see.

I will plan a bigger trip So finally I can do decent trip. But I have work :-D

Young Pup Hike 2: Day 1

"Next blog is from my logbook"

08/sept/2010

Day 1

Breakfeast: At home

Train: 06.25 am -> 09.15 am

Target: Campsite "De zeester" (Sea star)

Arrival at Target: 3.41 pm

Dinner: Bread, cheese and Gingerbread

Supper: Spaghetti, green peppers, bacon, Mozzarella.

From the moment I s

tepped out of the train i was wet. Good I brought that Poncho.

I started walking and singing some unknown song. I had a really great time

Done much walking today. I was so happy when I got to t

he Campsite. It was really nice that everything went as I planned out.

Accept for the rain. But I just

bought a new Poncho and it did its job really good. And thanks to the Fjällräven Oswego Shirt I actually stayed well ventilated. I LOVE THIS BRAND!!!!!!!

I might have walked a bit to fast and hard because my feet felt just so bad. As i was building my tent I found out I forgot my kite. Now I was at the sea and no kite! I was sad for a moment.

The cooking wasn't easy, but that is because my tent was to small and it was raining. To be honest it was very calm, I saw maybe 50 people in total this day. Thanks to the rain mostly.

Half way I walked true a nature park, it was Really amazing. So nice views and very pretty terrain. I loved it. One of the best parts of the Hike.

What did I learned: Never,ever, ever ,ever take out a card during the rain!!!!!!

I will post Day 2 Shortly,

Summer...

Haaaa, the summer, The time when the birds start to live again and the nature comes up out of the earth and calls us.
The time when whe trekkers fill our backpacks and head out in to the wilderness where we forget about the world that fools us in believing that going forward is the only good option. When the wild takes us and carries away our souls to a world wich I love and embrace.

Now let's talk logistics: This summer i'm gonna walk the belgian coast it will be about 70-80 km. I tend to do it in 5 days but I gonna take 7 days so I can take day of rest, or just a day of lazyness.

I'm gonna hold log of the travel and translate parts of it ( or all of it) and post it here.
My plan is to go with the tent and walk from camping to camping. I hope to cover about max 20 km a day. It might sound (no, it is) very understated. But start small thay say ha?


Now come all the planning and maybe some small training. Till next time.
