But from the beginning.
After Uli indulged in international football yesterday and watched a game without Bayern participation but with a German coach, this morning he is on his way to the obligatory packing of the panniers quite early and in a moody mood.
His walk is buoyant, the eyes are clear and the nose is wet……. wait a minute, that’s a different genre, please excuse me. Not that I’m still writing, his fur is shiny…
….. nevertheless, we only drive once a day in a circle.
I don’t want to bore anyone now, from where to where we drove. This can also be found in the attached GPX document at the end.
Instead, I prefer to explain the title.
And that is explained as follows.
Yesterday I already indicated that I had to bet on the routing Dutchman, whether in his own case or in my mobile phone on a really serious drug abuse, rather.
I drift away …..
If you’re wondering how the writer came up with this title again, it’s relatively easy.
We were on the road for almost 8 hours today, with a total of less than 1 hour break and Uli and I, on average 67 years old, think that it shouldn’t just lead over field, forest and meadow paths, as the traveling Dutchman suggested but also over pass roads, up and down the hill, then you don’t have to be ashamed if you notice your back and buttocks towards the end.
But I’ll start at the beginning, so for me actually more with day 00, which is appropriate, since the journey from Oer-Erkenschwick to Niederkassel turned out to be a tough, molasse-like undertaking. Temporarily erasing the sentence “Anyone who lives in the Ruhrpott area loves it everywhere” from memory, I actually started from Oer-Erkenschwick via federal roads towards the “Bergisches Land” and was able to discover “tourist gems” such as Recklinghausen, Castrop-Rauxel and last but not least Bochum and Witten “walking through” congested lanes, motorcycle technically.
…
….yes, one or the other may think when he reads the title.
But this time it’s a little different than (feels like decades) 3 years ago.
On the one hand, as one or the other may already notice from the title picture, I have company this time.
