Out for a walk

Hello everyone.

If everything goes well, starting monday, I will be missing for around two weeks.

I have planned to do a hiking tour by myself over ca. 280km and several mountains. It is a known and popular route, straight through the blackforest. I will be starting at my hometown, Pforzheim, Germany, and hike to Basel, Swiss.

For the time being, I have a tent with me, some firestuff and whatnot. I will try not to make use of any room booking or eating at restaurants, but staying in nature all the while, cooking and eating, refilling water at sources, etc.

This is the image of the route:

I have bought a new digital camera for the purpose of this trip, to hopefully make loads of pictures to remember and share. Hopefully I will not injure myself, get horribly lost or get myself a cold somewhere on the way.

If I'm not back in two weeks, call the cops. ;P

see yas.

Wow, this sounds like a lovely idea! It looks absolutely gorgeous too. I'd love to go hiking someday (though not here, in the boring, flat midwest farmlands lol).

I look forward to seeing any pictures you may take! Good luck, don't injure yourself, and have a great time!

There is a pilgrimage walk in Japan somewhere (can't remember where) across one of the islands. It is supposedly one of the most difficult pilgrames (it's been a few years since I heard about it in my Asian religions class). But I would seriously love to do that.

Good luck with your venture! I envy your freedom to walk out of your front door and do such a thing.

Going to leave tomorrow morning. This is the last activity here, see you.

Have a WONDERFUL time, Kaito, and take good care of yourself and just... come back to us in two weeks, with many, many lovely photos!
