International Southside Junior College March 2012

Starting point: my former place of work.
Lovely young people, great colleagues,
awesome place to be.

Warming up. Determined to push forward and get some kilometres in my legs, I had decided to do a 2x30 km march in the weekend of 03-04 MAR.
The event took place south of Copenhagen, based around the town of Køge: "Vintertur ved Køge", as in "Winter Walk at Køge". Often at such weekend events, there is a short, guided evening walk, primarily minded at out-of-towners arriving Friday - then they have something to kill time with! Køge is not far from my home - about an hour with metro and train - but then we're back at the thing with eating some kilometres: I want that, ooh, I want it.

As it is, back in the school year of 2006-2007, I had the great joy of teaching social science at Greve Gymnasium (gymnasium: 10th to 12th grade/junior college/high school/A levels, whatever you want to call it). During the spring of '07, I twice walked home from the school, a route of about 25 kilometres. It seemed obvious that I should now walk south from Greve instead. Or at least in my warped, march fanatic mind, it was obvious ...

And I'm there. The school used for the marchers'
accommodation was a couple of hundred metres further
down the road.

The base of and accommodation area of "Vintertur ved Køge" is a primary school located right next to Køge Gymnasium, so there you have the theme for this little training walk.

Lovely afternoon with almost clear skies.

  

Some church.

Some house.

The route: straight highway aaaaall the way. Some would call it boring; I call it good training :-)

A view to the ocean.

Sunset. Cockily, I walked in just two layers of T-shirt. Admittedly, it was pretty nippy at around the time this pic was shot ...

Just before the finish. Can it get any worse??? The local taxation office and an ugly graffiti for a murdering, "multi-ethnic" organized crime syndicate ...

Ført aftenvandring, Vintertur ved Køge

Aftenvandring med kendte ansigter: Bettina, der til
officielle marcher har gået, hvad der svarer til jorden rundt;
og Linda, som jeg gik MAKONI med i 2007,
og som jeg senest havde set ved Kjellerup Special.

Den officielle opvarmning. Det var en meget stille og rolig lille gåtur igennem Køge by night, med start 17 minutter efter min selvbestaltede 18,8-kilometers solotur. Vel tilbage på skolen blev jeg indkvarteret i et tætpakket klasselokale fyldt med de altid festlige og gæstfrie 004'ere - meget garvede gængere, der om muligt går endnu kortere på literen, end Bjørnebanden har for vane i Nijmegen - og traditionen byder åbenbart, at man tager på Hugos fredag, når man går Vintertur ved Køge. Således blev det, retur til byen!

• Navn: Ført aftenvandring, Vintertur ved Køge
• Rute: tja, rundt omkring i byen
• Deltagere: omkring en snes, Hein den eneste BB'er
• Dato: 02 MAR 2012
• Distance: 10,0 km
• Tid: 1:46 time (1830-2016)
• Gennemsnitsfart: 5,7 km/t

Fra aftenvandringen. Vore guider viste vejen i refleksveste.

Hugos! Et kælderværtshus med et MEGET stort udvalg af øl.

Liv og glade dage. Flere af de nedenstående billeder har jeg ikke selv taget -

- idet Onkel Ørum benyttede sig af lejligheden, da jeg var oppe efter en runde:
Den initiativrige, unge mand gik i gang med at gennemrode mine jakkelommer, og
delte fx mit kamera rundt!!! Haha, og han var ikke engang mere end omkring 5-6 stykker
på den berømte Ørum-skala. Da Morten Bargisen nede i Nijmegen by
i 2011 fik en lige venstre i sækken, fulgt op af et præcist og kammeratligt stød til brystkassen,
var vi fx oppe på omkring en 9'er; kendetegnet ved uforståelig tale og spontan vold - i  al
venskabelighed, naturligvis :-)

Gensynsglæde og -

- røverhistorier ad libitum. En herlig aften.
