#Days18&19 Beautiful Wismar
Neukloster to Wismar – 17km (day 18) 27C Terrain: hilly road So I arrived in the very beautiful Wismar yesterday and have taken the day to enjoy and relax a little. Yesterday was a nice easy route although it was pretty difficult to leave this place. It was absolutely stunning and could have sat for […] Read More
#Day17 Forests
Butzow to Neukloster – 23km 24C Terrain: road Weather gods are back, woohoo, woke up to this. Had a bit of a tough morning not feeling too great as result of yesterday’s meal I think. Amusingly, I had ordered something where I had identified the word for vegetable in […] Read More
#Day16 Very very wet
Liessow to Butzow – 28km 22C (torrential rain) Terrain: road and offroad (but manageable) Okay, so the weather gods have finally turned against me (or answered me wanting it to be cooler!). Up until now, I have only had one short shower and other than that, glorious sunshine (although at times a little hot to […] Read More
#Day15 Hot and camping
Jordenstorf to Liessow – 23km 28C (at least) Terrain: road Good news, woke up and foot was better! The human body (with a little help) is quite an incredible thing sometimes. Could hardly walk at the end of my journey yesterday and this morning all was fine (had taken and applied anti-inflammatories a few times […] Read More
#Day14 Some frustration
Demmin to Jordenstorf (or close by) 37km – due to a couple of wrong turns 25C Terrain: very off-road and road Ended up taking a full rest day yesterday in the end. I was in a nice place, it was going to be the hottest (33C) and most humid day of the year and felt […] Read More
#Day12 DDR and Swimming
Jarmen to Demmin – 24km 28C Terrain: cycle paths and roads Weather still holding up but it’s hot. I think it hit 30C today so trying to move when it’s a bit cooler. Out the door at 8 today with the aim of reaching Demmin – achieved. Due to heat, have now lost all fashion […] Read More
#Day11 Rest day (kind of)
Gutzkow to Jarmen – 8km 27C Terrain: flat road Amazing breakfast laid out this morning by Babsie, sat eating and chatting for a couple of hours, reticent to leave. Against my better judgement I decided not to take a rest day today and head towards Demmin, approx. 30km […] Read More
#Day10 Longest day (again)
Usedom to Gutzkow – 39km 24C Terrain: forest trails (overgrown and tricky), cycle paths and quiet roads Longest day yet, tired! Quickly discovered this morning that drivers get pretty irate when the road is being used and there is a cycle path. To be fair to myself the cycle path was pretty hidden away and […] Read More
