Black Forest New Year

Sunday, 1st January 2023

We’d hoped to be able to do some skiing in the Black Forest with our friends Rebecca and Mathias. But the weather was more like spring or autumn than winter … glorious blue skies, dry leaves on the ground instead of fluffy snow, and T-shirt wearing temperatures!

Black Forest Climbing Meet

Wednesday, 11th October 2017

Last week we were rock climbing and visiting friends in the south half of Germany’s Black Forest, Schwarzwald SÃ¼d…

Berlin

Saturday, 12th March 2016

One of my extra curricular activities at work is to be a tutor on the Lead with Impact course across Europe. A great advantage of this is that I can get to see parts of Europe that I have never been to before. This time it was Berlin.

Bike & Climb: a skitour substitute at the german cradle of sport climbing

Tuesday, 4th March 2014

What to do if the weather is terrible over the Alps and no way our girls skitour adventure will happen at all? Instead of a snow adventure we decided it is time to welcome spring and go climbing and biking at the Frankenjura

New Year in Germany

Sunday, 5th January 2014

We left Chamonix on Monday evening and headed over to Germany, via Switzerland, to visit our friends in the very small village of Todtmoos-Au in the Black Forest.

Via Ferrata Hindelang (AllgÃ¤u)

Monday, 16th September 2013

Ski Touring @Schliersee (Bavaria)

Wednesday, 19th December 2012

As I needed to train a bit for our Chamonix adventure in January/Februar I had to do something about the lack of ski touring experience for the last couple of years. Visiting Max at his new place in Miesbach, Bavaria we decided to take the risk and despite the rain, which poured down on us …

Biking black forrest at its best!

Sunday, 29th July 2012

For years I was always hoping to do one of the black forrests finest single trail bike rides – the “Kandel ridgeway”: 1500 meter in hight, 50 kilometers (40% single trails) long and a pure 1.000 meters in height downhill on a very panoramic and challenging single trail in one piece. Finally this year after …
