As ready as I can be. Loaded up on my goodbyes with lovely neighbors to head out from my Hof, now with Schopper!

Got to visit as a tourist!
On to the Weserradweg!

This is a nice river to follow along into the heartland. Nice to go past houses I have previously lived in over the many years.
First break
6. März 2024 in Deutschland ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
A first break after cycling along the wind. Is it always only really headwinds? :-) Feeling good on the bike though, this is nice to be on the move - and enjoying a nice home made sandwich!
Bench at the Weserhang

Small break for my small po. A chance to ponder where to sleep.
First camp
6. März 2024 in Deutschland ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C
Nice little spot by the river, just off Verden. This is within sniffing distance of where my bicycle was manufactured, I think in Hoya.
Mission begins!
7. März 2024 in Deutschland ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C
The clear skies from last night have disappeared. Got to pack up in the grey damp. Ugh, some soup first.
I get going because I am on a mission today. My air mattress popped it's baffles on the firstWeiterlesen
Where he was born

Hartje, where my bicycle Schopper was built, turns out to be on the Weserradweg. Coincidence?
Got a coffee to linger close to here for a bit. Ended up gatecrashing an old ladies coffee club andWeiterlesen
Plain green

The flats that actually make this a beloved bike path. Just fine even for a grey day.
That's a bench!

On the hunt for the best benches in the country!

CCR is a great band!
On a mission

Still many miles to meander to Minden, so making use of the straights. Mission Minden!
Rough road fans

Road getting a bit rough in parts, but the clouds part to keep the mission going!
Birds everywhere

So many birds all around. Will have to keep my binoculars handy.
Mission Minden!
7. März 2024 in Deutschland ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C
Made it to Minden, the promised land of the outdoor shop, with 20 minutes to spare. Snapped up a new exped, and the guy was good enough to throw in a neat discount.
"You came all the way fromWeiterlesen
Dark & chill scouting in Porta
7. März 2024 in Deutschland ⋅ 🌙 5 °C
With no good places visible, and no place to camp and it being already dark, I figured I should worry. But that's difficult on a full stomach. So I just thanked Schopper for being a champ and rodeWeiterlesen
River beach camp!
7. März 2024 in Deutschland ⋅ 🌙 3 °C
Whoa hey, found a beautiful sandy bar overlooking the river! Set up tent and the new mattress.
Clear skies, dry night, and a full hip flask. This is a great camp feeling!

Ice house
8. März 2024 in Deutschland ⋅ 🌙 -1 °C
Birds chirping, a red glow of the rising sun behind the river. Waking up in an ice house, the whole place is covered in ice crystals. Good thing is that nothing is wet. Though everything needs aWeiterlesen
Clumpy green
8. März 2024 in Deutschland ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C
Weird tree this all over the place. With no leaves, but spherical clumps of green. Not sure what this is.
Ferry on line
8. März 2024 in Deutschland ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C
This ferry let's you enjoy a boat and a cable car ride at the same time. Crazy engineering this.

Swirley whirley
8. März 2024 in Deutschland ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C
Enjoying the big industrial structures standing out over the green plains. Here in Hamelin, the "sluices" make a nice swirley whirley pattern
Nuclear Night
8. März 2024 in Deutschland ⋅ 🌙 7 °C
The twin towers of the nuclear power station stand out over the surrounding plains, green and innocuous. I'm not in a protest, but I'm camping here anyway in the warm light of German sustainableWeiterlesen
ReisenderI'll let you know if my green tent starts glowing. ;-) Sadly I don't think it's coming anytime soon
