Finally, finally, the report is there. Our great adventure is now back for some time, so forgive if I am the one detail or another can not play completely.
In Mannheim there was snow, snow and snow again. Completely "spontaneous" we came up with the idea, therefore, our sleigh ride adventure, which last year due to lack of snow could not be put into action to take, to now address.
The idea was thus born, the date was clear and the snow conditions were good in the Odenwald. There were no soft, powdery snow, but the old did so well. At least 25 cm unchanged throughout the week.
It slides were organized, the crew compiled and arranged, the start time. Some people, however, had too much time to get a good snow vehicle, which ended in the evening before our adventure into a veritable odyssey through Mannheim, Ludwigshafen and Heidelberg. Luckily still have enough slides to be purchased and we started almost on time in the Odenwald. Despite the sudden
6 degrees outside temperature, we were happy. Even the upcoming rain on the way to the Odenwald could diminish our anticipation. After road-Gather, in forest-Michel Bach Siedelsbrunn-wandering around and finally found the longed hills, weatherproof clothes were unpacked and dressed.
The first threw itself boldly down the slope, while others had the moment you enter their problems. But eventually, the whole crew was on the mound and first "routes" were established. Unfortunately, the carriage drove because of the very wet snow, but only very slowly, some not. Thus our planned race fell into the water. Kate Snow fries prepared all the most fun and was well used. I even drove at least once down the slope - an exhausting climb and my lack of condition prevented more runs. Otherwise, the smell of the well as on sunny days Cow pasture meadows to discomfort. The weather was getting worse, fog moved on and it started pouring rain. Within a short time were all but their underwear wet. After we made photographic evidence again decided to undertake the journey home.
Anyway - wars beautiful! And once again a big thank you to all who have bravely defied the weather.
