Franconian dune way - 2d 85k with tent

Having been out with 10 kilogramms for 40 and 45 kilometres it feels like it is stable no pain. In legs and feet as of that endurance adventure being on my feet for eight and nine hours. This here is the link to the trail: Fränkischer Dünenweg - Tourismusverband Franken

And these are some pictures from here, Franconia (Germany) in its romantical valleys. The first picture shows my lightweight tent, 1,7 kilos, with light from inside by Lupine Lightning Systems, some villages' lights ahead.






With a little fantasy one might think of Utah. Military good hipp-belt I transported beer, and phone, wallet and compass, lights, power-bench and map. Besides a sleeping-back I used Therma-Rest-Uberlite, 280g, the most light underlaying. Its comfortable and not noisy what is often said, and does isolate coldness from the ground very propperly. Therefore my Sea-To-Summit III is cheap trash expensively sold, too. Luckily a second thick fleece pullover from Quechua was with me. Night was cold closely to minus, but days 22° - 25°C plus. In April. 

Soon, some more 30 to 40 years it all looks like in Utah? Like 2000000 years ago, when Earth was a mere desert as of carbodioxites. We will all die. There is no surviver. The question is of death does change in its meaning, when we all have to go by our all own flaws and we do know that. 

So we will know how it goes? Me, not so. Those after me. But see what comes next. A 100+ k hike within three days? As for competition I could do, but really, it takes time, happy having gotten donated a new life.
