Regnskovsvandring, Madagaskar 2014: Hein, der peger på OMI-mærket

Crazy? Guy did the Nijmegen Marches at sea – on a treadmill!

pirate-hunter HDMS Esbern Snare.

So what to do if you are sure to miss your 14^th participation in the Four Day Marches in Nijmegen? Commander Thorbjørn Hein from Denmark was in this unfortunate situation. A naval staff officer, he is currently on board HDMS Esbern Snare in the Indian Ocean as part of NATO’s counter-piracy Operation Ocean Shield; he had to look at alternative ways to get his annual Nijmegen fix.

Read below to see what he did.

Nijmegen Treadmill 2014: Hein, der peger på OMI-mærket

Bum, så var det der, det seneste "Hein, der peger på OMI-mærket"-billede. Jeg sagde jo, jeg havde noget oppe i ærmet, John.

Tak for mærket, OMI, det kommer da rundt i verden!

Artiklen om selve marchen findes her (på engelsk).

March well done. Sergeant Maksimas was a splendid chap to walk with, and hands had to be shaken on that. Many more pictures below.

Beagle Boy conquers Lithuania under a fluttering banner

by Thorbjørn Hein

During the weekend of 30 June till 3 July, 2011, a march of 2 times 100 kilometres was succesfully executed. The event was organised as first a 100 km within a time limit of 24 hours, then 24 hours of rest, and then another 100 clicks within another day. I travelled to Lithuania on my own and combined the walk with visiting friends from the latest deployment to Afghanistan.

To bjørnebanditter gennemfører 2x100 km i Litauen

Ekstremt. Stort tillykke til bjørnebanditterne Andreas Knudsen og Daniel Rindorf, som efter et par års tilløb i den forløbne uge gjorde alvor af intentionerne: Søndag den 1. juni kom de i mål efter 2x100 kilometers march. Landet var Litauen, ruten var stier og veje mellem byerne Kaunas til Jurbarkas t/r. Som det ses på hosstående billede, viste Andreas og Daniel gooood stil, når redaktøren nu skal sige det, ved at stille til medaljeparaden i M/69-uniform. En stolt livgardetradition til denne specielle march er vel nu ved at være etableret. Links til billeder nedenfor.
