Hello all,

let's return to Warung Bayu in order to have a nice Indonesian meal and a good conversation.
We'll meet up in front of the restaurant. When the group is complete we look for free seats.

Plan B: If Warung Bayu happens to be full then we will head to: Buriram Thai.

*** Meeting at Wilma Wunderbar

Let's meet up at this nice bar and have a good conversation in English.

That's how it works:
We'll meet up at the entrance at 6 pm. Then we look for free seats. As soon as we sit I will drop a message in the whatsapp group in order to let latecomers know where we are sitting.

This meeting is a great opportunity to meet nice people and is taking place every other week.

See you there !

Hi there,

"7 auf einen Streich" is an annual hiking event, organized by the SkiClub Bad Honnef, this year taking place for the 52th time. It's a challenging, 26-kilometre-long hike in the Siebengebirge, starting and ending in Bad Honnef. Last year there were around 1,800 hikers taking part, I read.
==> Let's join this hike!

Official event description (in German): https://skiclub-badhonnef.de/7-auf-einen-streich/

----

Here's how we will do it:
We will meet up at Bad Honnef train station, then quickly walk over to the ticket booth of the event which we will find near the Bad Honnef Stadtbahn station. There each of us will buy their entrance ticket. Then we will start the hike as a group and see how it goes.
The course is a circular course and ends up at the starting point. The course is marked. We will pass seven check points (Drachenfels, Milchhäuschen, Petersberg, Stenzelberg, Ölberg, Forsthaus, Löwenburg). They do not serve neither food nor water so you have to bring and carry your snacks and water if needed. At the half-way point of the hike there will be a food stand though where you can buy snacks and beverages. At the finish they will sell something to drink and eat as well.

Our meeting point: Bad Honnef(Rhein) train station, platform 2, 9:28 AM.

Ticket booth: near Bad Honnef Stadtbahn station
Tickets: 4 Euros (without medal) or 8 Euros (with medal [as long as supplies last]).

Start time of the hike: between 8 and 10 am

Distance: 26 k

Elevation: appr. 800 metres

Duration: appr. 8,5 hours

Difficulty: difficult

What to bring: Water and a snack. Good idea to keep it light. Please don't overdress since there are very steep inclines that will heat you up for sure. Don't forget a rain jacket if rain is in the forecast.

Pauses: No lunch break. It's a good idea to have eaten something before the hike. We'll try to avoid having pauses and keep going.
Eating a snack is totally fine as long as you do it while hiking.

Speed: Normal. Let's hike together as one group. Please make sure not to slow down the group. Good endurance is necessary.

Weather: We'll do it rain or shine.

Communication: For last-moment changes on the hike you can join our whatsapp hiking group:

See you,
René
