So -- the rogaine we were going to do this weekend has been cancelled, which stinks as we were really looking forward to it. In a mad search to find another event that I could get my wife on board with for this weekend, we found this Nordic Walking event at the Eiger. Amazing venue if nothing else!
Now, what is Nordic Walking you may ask? I don't pretend to know, I think it's just hiking with trekking poles. I wonder if they'll throw a fit if we take off at a run at their Nordic Walking event? The Swiss love their rules and regulations and I can picture all the participants scolding the Americans as they treat the Nordic Walk as a Trail Run. If I read German (or bothered to do some research) I could probably determine what the rules are, but we're just going to show up and knock out their long course. If nothing else, it'll be a fun weekend in Grindelwald!
Here's a pic from the Grindelwald area . . .
