The arrival

Hello dear ones,
in my first entry I will tell you about some of my arrival in Buenos Aires:
went off on Friday, 07/24/2009 by 5 clock in Offenburg. But despite the early Stundevsind we (my family and I) arrived safely and on time in Frankfurt airport. There I met up with some Mitfreiwilligen of the Evangelical Church in Baden. Together we went after extensive farewell, through security checks. At the gate we have still more volunteers, this time by the GAW (Gustav Adolf plant) taken with which we are already the last preparatory seminar have made. The flight was pretty uneventful ansich. We are 13 hours from Frankfurt to Buenos Aires directly. I have read in the time almost a whole book. Namely "My name is Luz," a book that plays in the period of military dictatorship in Argentina and is about a girl whose mother was killed as an infant and then the daughter of an officer was given. It was really shocking, what happened here. Gabs to eat pasta twice.
were at some point we finally passed the 13 hour flight and we landed safely in Buenos Aires. Our welcoming committee were several men with white coats and masks, watching us as we pass in front of a thermal imaging camera went. In addition, we had to specify exactly where we are located in the near future and even on what place we were sitting on the plane. All this of course is the swine flu due even if Argentina influenza A, as they say here probably exported than imported. But Argentina is finally also the country with the second-most deaths due to the swine flu.
But I'm so not a big worry, since they had in most cases runs smoothly, and here there is also enough good hospitals.
A first very typical experience for Argentina, was already the bus ride from the airport to our accommodation. We had 16 volunteers in our plane and were picked up by a minibus with 19 seats. This all sounds quite normal, but bear in mind is that we had almost all the three pieces of luggage there. This was apparently in the planning irgendiwe forget, so our luggage in the bus then stood up to the head. The best was then ncoh a comment from the bus driver who just said that we should not hesitate on the seats and not on the luggage sits, so the police are not complaining. The images which you can see on the right. Finally, however, we are still all arrived safe and with our entire luggage.

So much for the check-in, I'll be in touch again soon.

Greetings

Cat In The Hat Rhymes For Birthday

The spirit of Sandwood Bay

In September I wrote something about the spirit of Sandwood Bay. For this I was able to find out during my tour of coincidences or something.

And although there was this "spirit" really, it was James McRory-Smith, who lived as a hermit for 30 years in Strath Chailleach. In the Bothy, a book is a biography of this interesting people. It is a sad story, Smith was a recluse after he had lost his wife and had apparently lost his footing and went throughout Scotland.

He then just as the home Strathchailleach chose is already extraordinary. Up to the nearest shopping venues are good 20km walk. The winters are cold and violent storms. He had to go out every day to be able to stand and peat to dry and then use this as fuel for the fire.

Today we see the traces left in the McRory Smith Bothy has. Among other things, various wall paintings, as seen in this picture:


murals in Strathchailleach



He supplied himself with to find what he could and he allegedly poached from and to a sheep or wild game with his old Enfield .303 rifle. (The gun is not confirmed until today, no one has ever found).

Among other things he collected driftwood on the beach at Sandy Bay Wood, this will then early in the morning, so there were reports of the sighting "of a strange shape" to Sandwood Bay through the fog. He is said from time to solitary camper to death have shocked when he was caught as he was looking through the backpacks for usable reserves.

The Bothy could still be visited by hikers, McRory whether Smith was an inside was more dependent on his mood or the gadgets. If he felt disturbed, he should have ever chased the-Wall or curse at other times, visitors were faced with closed doors.


crashed in a storm parts of the Bothy one eventually, which was then also a time when he had to leave the Bothy for health reasons. He then lived in a trailer at the old port of Kinlochbervie and died shortly after. The Bothy has been prepared by the Mountain Bothy Association again and can once again a focal point on the way to Cape Wrath and Kearvaig be used.

In talks in Kinlochbervie, he was briefly described as "He was a character." Roughly translated, "Strangely Owl "or rather" Characters ".

The Show Must Go On, Day 4, 21.09.2008

leave after a breakfast in the morning at 07:00 I Websters and make my way to Sandwood Bay from there Cross Country to Cape Wrath to come. As it is still very early , I walk a little by the tranquil port town.

Waterfront building is also a poster on the exercise mode on the training area of Cape Wrath. As previously announced are also here to no exercise dates in the coming days. So it goes a road up to Oldshoremore.

the beach at Oldshoremore


The beautiful beach, take place in the otherwise kitesurfing competitions, invites you to a short break. So hurry down the road taken to the beach.

After a few more miles of paved, narrow streets to reach the path to Sandy Wood Bay. From here on it is about 5 km to the beautiful beach. The path is laid out nice and in very good condition and, despite the deep Torfmoor right and left quite dry.

Sandwood Bay, on the south side


So down to the beach, fought through the dunes and the beach ran deep and the water. The beach looks a bit like a South Seas beach, the water looks really inviting. The water temperature of something above 10 ° C is rather less welcoming.

Strangely, there is also a strange smell, a strange odor of decay. What from a distance looked like a gray rock, emerged from the vicinity as beached whale. I'm going for a porpoise.

farther After a pause, it goes further north. A correct path is not visible, so follow I am a wildlife trail. However, it was still before the broad outflow of Loch Sand Wood cross. This was indeed intended 20m wide, but it so flat that you could overcome it with dry-shod boots.

So I've turned up the flanks of the hill. The climb is exhausting, but straightforward.

Looking back over Loch Sand and Sand Wood Wood Bay
Then it happened


, while descending through a layer of peat exposed down I fall down and slide away unhappy, while I break one of the two trekking poles. My foot gets a little off, but I can see only half an hour later. Because of my foot then begins to ache, I decide the day once in the nearby Bothy "Strath Chailleach" to end. After half an hour, the Bothy is reached.

Strath Chailleach


was in the Bothy it dry peat, that is only once a peat fire in the fireplace ignited and hung up to dry the wet clothes on. The fire radiates a comfortable temperature, the peat burns very hot and gives off a pleasant Torfgeruch, the visitors to Scotland is well known.

even fix dinner cooked and then relaxed the day, in the hope that the foot is fully up again tomorrow in order.

Sample Of Opening Prayer For Seminar

DSLR and trekking

Since the last Scotland trip is a Digital SLR Camera (DSLR) Accompanying my, I am hoping thereby to better document the trip and me happy memories able to shoot


that time was


Then it was a borrowed Canon EOS 300D with the kit lens Canon EF-S 18-55mm 3.5-5.6 .

addition, there were two spare batteries and a cleaning cloth and found all together in a Lowepro bag from the "Rezo" series, his place. Although there was

great to have the camera with us, transport the body, however, was sometimes annoying and shoulder bag could be used in combination with a backpack not take optimal.

In all, there are many competing factors such as


  • weight

  • Robustness

  • flexibility of the equipment

  • image quality

  • transport



Update

now I am changed to Canon EOS 50D . Private home I use a Canon EF 24-70mm 2.8 L and Tokina 11-16mm 2.8 lens .

Both lenses are relatively heavy and bulky and too heavy for a backpacking trip, but I'm fairly flexible so that, apart from the lack of long focal length of time. The picture quality is excellent too.


Planned photo equipment The next tours


come in the future to travel with my 50D, plus a short fixed focal length between 28 and 35 mm and a total of three batteries plus charger for special tours. A prime lens is light, the picture quality is good and the stakes are somewhat challenging for the photographer, could be very interesting :-). My choice would be to favorable fixed focal length, as this case of damage, scratches and the like will not hurt - in addition, the plastic is nice and light.

brings me to a sample invoice to the following weight:

Canon EOS 50D without battery - 730g
Obektiv Canon 28mm 2.8 - 180g
three batteries - 3x82g = 246g
charger (*) - approx 110g
TOTAL - 1366g

(*) The charger is only useful for extremely long trips to use ;-). be

addition, the camera lens still stowed in a pocket. Here can I search for a small bag that I can start splashing water protected by the belt of the backpack or carry with the D-rings of the shoulder straps on the chest. Here I am still undecided.

knife the second, Council Cutlery RC-4

wrote in the early days of this blog I do something about knife . After I was removed from our own stupidity, my trusty little Swiss Army knife, I now wanted to buy a new knife. This time a little bigger.

My eye fell on the following diameters:

The Council Cutlery RC-4

The blade is about 10.5 cm long and the entire knife weighs approximately 210g without sheath. Reviews in the knife forum sounded good, otherwise the reports, listened good. Once I've bought more:)

lousy weather II, motivation holes and then but otherwise, Day 3, 20:09 .2008

day three of the trip. The night was quiet, but not sufficient for a relaxing break, since the previous day's 36km was still in the bone. Consequently, the motivation was early morning still not quite there. However, I had not solved the water problem and then I continued to fix the route to the nearest water source.

did this I also learned something. In the extreme North of the Highlands provides the landscape again a bit different and are less clear than small mountain streams in the Southern part. This is probably related to the other types of rock behind Kylesku. Unfortunately, I had at this time no water filter example to me of the different hole to use. Although I had chlorine tablets, but my feeling unfiltered water to take out of a hole was not good.

My day's route took me over Duartmore Bridge, where there is one of the many fish farms, across a part no longer recognizable way to Loch Stack Lodge.


Peaty path



From there, it should then go to Rhiconich, from where I wanted to hitch a ride to Kinlochbervie. In the middle of nothing between Duartmore Bridge and Loch Stack Lodge was a brand new game fence with "respect for electric power!" Warning symbols. I follow more so when I assumed the way and arrived on a gate when I came through the fence, I stood at the "Loch na Ath. There were again no way, but I had to the other side - there had to be something, because it was tied a small Böötchen there.

Loch na Ath, between Duartmore Bridge and Loch Stack Lodge


continue to lead the way on the other side of the hole was muddy, but in good condition, it seemed as if the building material for the fence on this trail. The weather struck out, however, dense clouds approached and covered it started to rain and the wind was stronger.

On the other side of the hill there were good 400m descent, but which was simply a path. Meanwhile, I had to completely einmummeln, jacket, rain trouser, hood over her face and moisture protection to the backpack. To a cold rain and strong winds - fortunately there was a small hut down by the river by anglers is used and otherwise well is part of the Loch Stack Lodge. As I have not had any long breaks, I use the break for lunch and relax. Unfortunately, the rain was

not less, and it was frustrating to continue the march. We went on "Land Rover tracks and across country to Rhiconich high, which I reached late in the afternoon.

The place was not exactly pretty, and my goal was finally Kinlochbervie - that thumb out and ... tada! After half an hour I actually had a ride, the Websters, an elderly couple who spends the summer in Kinlochbervie took me in her old Mercedes E-Class. And even though I use my "6-Day Bart and wet clothes destined looked scary hab.

They had a house on the old dock and after we had come to talk to me, the two night available in the guest room to spend. The course I gladly accepted, and only once extensively showered and changed to clean clothes.

Old Harbour, Kinlochbervie


evening still eat dinner together, exchanged stories and then spent a relaxing night. In the USA would be such people well, "Trail Angels" call me is such a rare wonderful hospitality have been bestowed upon.
