Impressions of the TULFWT V
Posted on 09 Februar 2011
What a great weekend. Another TULFT is over and we had a great time at the campsite in Schierke. This was our second winter meeting there. The weather was not the very best, but we tried everything to have a successful meeting. A short group of us has arrived on Wednesday evening in Torfhaus for an overnighter in the snow. Impressions of this trip will follow. Another group arrived one day later the campsite in Schierke and the rest during the Friday.

It was very foggy and became steadily warmer. The snow on the campsite melted away and everything was green on Sunday. So let’s start with the impressions of our meeting. I will keep it simple, because I am not a friend of big words. Enjoy the photos and contact me if you have special interests.

The evening ran very quietly because everybody was dog-tired. But no meeting without these Thuringian sausages. They are fantastic and it is a pleasure to eat them. Thanks quasinitro for the organization.
The weather on Saturday was bad too. It was stormy and misty. Some of us stayed in the camp and made a trip on the Brocken in the afternoon. The rest of our group tried to find a lake that was not frozen because we wanted to test Q’s Alpacka Packraft.

Me in the packraft. I have fallen in love with these splendid boats
Spikes or barefoot? What would you prefer?
Ronja (Border Collie) enjoyed the day at the lake and our short trip after testing the boat
After this fantastic day at the lake we reached the campsite and LAUFBURSCHE has presented us his new prototype of a Cuben Lavvu
The evening ended with interesting conversations about gear and other interesting stuff. The Klymit Inertia X Frame was one object of this geartalk
Navin GPS logger with a weight of 42g
The annual stove test
86g trekking pole
This man was our surprise guest on Saturday. He would not come to the meeting, because he hates snow (I cannot believe it). But it became warmer and he decided to visit us. Thanks for your presence and thanks to all others for coming.
See you at the next TULFT.
