... you should feel way more than "blessed", Mike, but I've got no word for it, even "ashamed" isn't close to it ...!

Wow, I won't show these pics to Sophie, I presume the weather is not always that gorgeous, the grass is not always that green, cows are notoriously hostile, no Schnitzel or Most in Gaststüberln, and travelling to Schleswig with a bike through half Europe is no fun. Nonetheless, you're a f-----g lucky b-----d

Marvelous photo's Mike 

It would be nice to have some of those clouds in IL 2 

Cheers

Mike,

You may not know this about me but I am an avid rail fan. Could you possibly disclose the location of the rail line to me? I really get a kick out of seeing narrow gauge spur lines.


Sincerely,

James

Depends.
I've been doing about 50km per day since mid of march, on working days in the afternoon, when the weather was fine and I did not have other duties in the office.
That's like 60 out of 74 possible days, which fits the ~3000km according to my speedometer.
You'll finally get there and it'll be fun, but it takes time, especially if you want to take time to see things alongside the way like me.

A few of them gave me really good showers.
The nicer they look, the nastier they are.
Mind you: All these images are just crappy snapshots with my Samsung S10 smartphone.
If you want to see what real photographers make from some of these places... a colleague of my wife is a bit into photography and she's got a hang on "lost places", so I shared some of my findings with her.
These "lost places" guys seem to have strict ethics so I had to prepare a couple of things for her to enter the spots, but two of them she actually did revisit.

This was my visit:

Of course I can James.
I should be able to remember all spots depicted here.
The narrow track is a peat rail, it's located here: https://goo.gl/maps/1cWhebbahmj5rHKn8

Very nice pics ! And... I would love to use some of these places for some airsoft game !!! so much better than the gravel pits in which we are authorized to practice this activity in Switzerland...

Exactly. I meant travelling with a bike, not on a bike, but never mind.
It depends very much on the terrain and on the wind.
With both neutral, 17 to 20 kms are comfortably doable per hour in average, and the limit is only your ass, how many hours per day can it have on the saddle?
It's all about our holy ass.

First summerday today
Snow start to creep up the mountain and we have only small spots around the house.
