We joined the annual 'New Year's Hike' from the village of Exloo today. With +1°C we enjoyed the organised route of 15 km. There was a short break for coffee/tea at the Exloo ice rink, which was all prepared for freezing weather but so far no ice yet.
This small building is the skating club canteen. It was crowded inside with hikers so we had our coffee outside before continuing the route.
...looks like a nice time with friends.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenenjoyed hiking with you. And your tulips are lovely
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAl die op vorst wachtende ijsbanen in het land. Hoop dat ze nog wat succes hebben.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHi Marleen, it's nice to hike in cool weather. We're experiencing terribly hot weather at the moment and even though our hiking club starts up for the year next week, I don't know if I'm going to join in yet. Jo
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhat a brilliant way to begin a fresh new year Marleen, the emphasis on being 'fresh' 😀
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThere used to be ice rinks like that around here, I still know where some of them used to be. And there were even world champion speed skaters from this area back around 1900. I need to join some organised hikes now that I'm retired.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI envy your ability to walk such a distance. My legs have decided they've had enough walking and simply refuse to go very far on any specific occasion! Looks like a nice day and that everyone's having a nice time.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThat's a good hike!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGood for you to start the year off with a nice hike. Looks like you had a lot of company for a fun time. Happy hiking!!
