HSW - unexpected encounter

After stretching and some warm up exercises I started in the day. Long forest walks and beautiful heather landscapes in between. Listening to a podcast for a while I met a few hikers, but 2 of them totally surprised me. I met Soulboy and FREESTYLA again. I met freestyla when I first started the trail after a few days and soulboy joined me for a day at the halfway point. They were gathering video material of the HSW with cameras and a drone. We took some pictures, laughed about this coincidence and they spoiled the trail ahead of me. I was really happy to meet them again.
In the next village I stopped at a self serving farm shop, where I charged my phone and had lunch. After continuing I called back my mum, only to get interrupted by the next passing hikers just because I told them I am on my way to Sylt. Over the day I heard a few loud but dull bangs and thought about falling trees until I realised this must be coming from the military training camp.
I rushed to the next town for dinner and got there earlier than expected but was also really exhausted. After resupply I tried to find a nice spot for dinner, but kept walking until the edge of the town finishing a pack of nuts with a crunchy lentils coating by then. After accepting the taste of the other things I bought wasn't that great I started into the woods again to the next village. On the way I messaged some friends from Hamburg and enjoyed the rising full moon. In the next village I had to take a detour because of a closed bridge but it didn't matter at that point. I was exhausted anyway and at half past nine I finally arrived at the shelter.Read more
