Walk the Airborne

Walk the Airborne

The Airborne March is the annual Dutch commemorative event in remembrance of the Battle of Arnhem in September 1944. It began in 1947 and always takes place on the first Saturday in September at Oosterbeek near Arnhem in The Netherlands.

From the beginning the net revenues of the Airborne March are used to enable veterans and next of kin with poor means, to come over to The Netherlands and attend the annual Airborne-commemorations in and around Arnhem.

The Airborne March has 4 distances: 10, 15, 25 and 40 km. The longest distance is for individuals only. The routes lead you through the woods of the Veluwezoom and the municipality of Renkum and the great views over the river Rhine.

------------------------

How to do this?

1) This is a paid event in Netherlands, and it happens every year on the first Saturday in September.
So you need to be able to
* buy the ticket
* get to Netherlands and stay there for as long as it takes
* walk 10, 15, 25 or 40 km

2) Timeline is there already.
This happens on the first Saturday in September, come rain, come shine, come flu and your cousin's third child's wedding. It is totally safe to book tickets already now and tell everyone you will be in Arnhem the first week of September. Sorry.
You also know how much time you have to save the money and get fit.

3) Getting the ticket is also easy.
You just need to find out how much it costs, when is the last day to purchase it and how it is purchased. All that information is clearly on the site.
Getting the money for the ticket might not be that easy, but - I have spoken about saving tips earlier, the same principles go for this.

4) Getting to Arnhem.
This depends totally on where you are right now. The longer the road is, the more you need to think about this.
If you are in North-Western Europe, this will not be a problem. You could even fly to Netherlands in the morning, do the walk and get back home to sleep in your own bed. I wouldn't recommend that, though, because there will be a lot of interesting people there, all the WWII veterans (blessed be they, dead as well as alive) and their friends and relatives. Think about all the stories!
If you come all the way from any other continent, it might be worth it to make this PART of a total Netherlands experience, and put all the interesting things one can do in Netherlands on your list and plan accordingly. Now, not all events happen during the first week of September, and the tulips will have bloomed, but there's plenty of things to do and see in Netherlands.
Nevertheless, plan accordingly.

5) Having fun when walking
Firstly, you need to be in the physical condition to do that. It's not difficult to walk some 5 km every day. It takes less than an hour when you are used to do it, and it will have all kinds of benefits, not only to your physical health but your mental health as well.

This will also make you aware of the equipment needed. You will need good walking shoes. You will need clothes that allow certain movement and keep you warm/cool and dry, but you don't need exercise clothing. If you walk 5 km every day for a longer period of time, you won't even get sweaty.

The shoes are the most important part here.
NEVER EVER PLAN OF PARTICIPATING IN WALKING IN SHOES THAT ARE NOT COMFORTABLE.
If you get a blister the first 15 minutes of the walk, you will not enjoy that walk! So you MUST have walked in the shoes enough times to know you won't get blisters in them! You also need to wear socks. Nylon socks under the ordinary socks help, too, they say. But have blister patches/band-aid with you just in case.

If you don't know anyone, bring some music. But don't count on listening to music while you walk The Airborne March. Remember that there is a reason you are there, and that is most likely the same reason everyone else is there too! Go talk with people! You might get lucky and have some very personal memories about the area where you are walking!

Bring with you some water and some snacks, like nuts and dried fruits, just in case.

Be prepared to rest if need be. You can carry a backpack with a foldable chair, or a small picnic blanket, so that you can sit on the ground.

Remember to have a hat and sunglasses, perhaps even sunblock, as the weather can still be quite warm this early in September

Bring the camera. See that the battery is full loaded and that there is room in the memory card (or bring a couple of rolls of film.)

Bring some calling cards... you might make new friends :-)

Look around you. Look up and down, right and left, front and back, near and far. Try to capture every sight, scene, smell, sound and sensation. Be aware of what is and what happens around you.

Read up before you go. 

How to create a travel itinerary

Whether you plan to travel the world around or to a neighboring city, whether you plan on taking planes or walking, it is a good thing to have a travel itinerary.
Back at good old times there were travel agencies one could count on to do all this for you. Nowadays, not so many.
(Frankly, I have NEVER even SEEN one in Sweden. I used to use one in Finland all the time. It was so convenient and lovely and the people working there were great. I am sad to see this occupation vanish. Any way, I went to a Swedish "travel agency", and it turned out they sell ONLY tickets to ONE buss line. If we asked any questions of ANY OTHER OPTION they told us to go somewhere else to find that information. Really! We left and never returned. There was no indication outside the local of that they ONLY represented THAT company. In fact, they had images of all kinds of travels, from Paris to Hawaii on their window :-D How they would take a person to Hawaii on a buss is a very interesting question, but I'm sure they would not have understood the satire.)

This is a very nice little information list about how to plan your travels, but creating an itinerary is a bit different thing. (It is a part of the above list, but here I'll talk a bit more about it.)

1) Write down the route
- from where to where, which places you wish to visit, which sights you wish to see.

Put this information on a map to see how these spots are located to each other, to be able to design a logical route from one place to another.

Gather all information you can of the places you plan to visit. You might find out that some places were not what you thought they'd be, and can skip them, and you might find out some places you'd hate to miss.

2) Plan the time
How long time do you have?
When do you have this time?
When are the events?
When are the museums and attractions etc. open? Some are closed on Mondays, for example, or open only during the summer etc.

How much time does transport take?
How much time do you plan on using in site? (Take a practice round at a similar place near you, for example an art museum or an amusement park. You will also notice what you need to consider. For example, in some amusement parks the food is awful and expensive, but in some amusement parks you may not take in your own food. In some museums there are restrictions on what you may bring in the show rooms. For example, purses are not allowed in the jewel room at British Museum. For some reason they allowed me to go in wearing my trench... and my purse was UNDER it... They never even asked. :-D You might need to prepare for some extra money for such purposes.)

3) Find out the travel options.
Can you fly or do you have to take a boat? How about trains and buses? Would you need to have a car, can you take your own or do you have to rent one?
Some places don't have any such access, you have to go there on your own legs, or perhaps hire a mule or some other animal whose legs you can use. :-D
Find out this information. This is available on the internet when it comes to most of the places.

Choose the travel options of your preference (but have a backup plan, because accidents happen and things change, and people usually are not aware of that you have made plans a couple of months ago so they don't know to inform you of that the buss company you planned on using has changed routes or owner...)

4) Plan your accommodation. 
Find out all the available options from hotels to couch-surfing. Don't forget bed-and-breakfast and agritourism options. Choose according to your expectations and finances.

* Now you have your initial itinerary ready.
5) You need to go through it and REALLY SERIOUSLY THINK IT THROUGH.

Does it really sound realistic and functional?
Have you planned in plenty of time to move from one place to another, all the time it takes to wait on the airport, check-ins etc.? Have you planned in what you need to do if there is for example a strike or a major accident and you won't be able to use the public transport to get you to the airport?
How have you planned around your fitness and mental demands? You might think it's easy to run through several museums and galleries a day, but it really isn't. Don't plan in more than ONE attraction every day, and give yourself a time to rest about every 3-4 days at least.
Have you considered the possible national holidays and events that might interrupt with your plans? In some countries NOTHING is "open" on Good Friday, for example.
Adjust your plans to fit your reality, your nature, your style, your preferences, not the ideal fantasy or someone else's resources.

Now you need to write this revised, final plan down. (I actually think they at Rose and Gully have a wonderful idea! You can try to copy it by your best ability.

6) Get the money
Collect all this information and how much money it costs. Divide the time between now and when you must pay (not necessarily the travel date!) and the amount of money to know how much money you MUST save each week. Save that amount and have a backup plan for those weeks you fall short of the goal. If you do that, you either need to find more sources/less drains for money or move your trip forward.

7) Get the tickets, reservations etc.
Do this in good time. A week can make 100s of Euros' difference!

First you need to check that your passport is valid, and what kind of travel restrictions they have.
You might need a visa, some vaccinations etc.
You are not welcome to some countries if you have AIDS.
Some countries don't allow you in if you have been in some other countries.
Also find out about the restrictions when it comes to what you may bring with you. Australia is infamous about the "no plant/animal material that might have seeds/pollen/other alien lifeforms attached".
There are also restrictions about certain medicins and cosmetics, etc.
Also, remember that you may not take anything you like with you in a plane, like knitting needles and nail scissors.
FIND OUT ALL THIS INFORMATION BEFORE YOU GET THE TICKETS!!!

Book the "biggest things" first. The hotel where you will stay the longest, the longest travels from place to place, the most important "must not miss" events and happenings, then the "small" ones.

Collect all the necessary information in one place and have an electric backup somewhere online where you can reach it even if you loose all the papers. You can also leave copies to a trusted friend whom you can call if need be to get that information.

I would really recommend getting a travel folder, of leather or other sturdier material, small like the one pictured, with pockets for all the papers.
And I suggest you print out the information on A4 and fold it in three (that would be DL envelope size). (Frankly, if you learn to use that format of paper (DL envelope size) in stead of A4, your life will be much easier. Most of the information fits on paper that way too, takes less space and is easier to eye through. But as it is now, most printers are designed to use A4 size paper. So much so that in USA it's called "printer size" :-D)

Include:
the names - hotel, airline, buss company, train company etc.
numbers - flight number, buss route number etc.
reservation/confirmation numbers
telephone numbers and names of people you need to reach if something happens
times

directions, maps, photos of your hotel, the air port, station etc. You need to know how to get from the airport to the hotel and how to get to the airport yourself. Now-a-days it is easy with google maps etc.

information about the local public transport, fees, hours of operation, how to use them, if you need a pass etc. and taxi companies numbers etc.

information about eating out and grocery shopping in the area of your hotel (how much does food cost, what extra costs you need to expect, tipping, manners etc.

how to ship home larger objects if you happen to find anything you just must have

address list of friends and relatives you wish to send a postcard

Also include
- medical information
- emergency contact numbers
- your nation's embassy/consulate number and address

Alien, Bizarre, Weird & Mysterious Places On Earth

Mount Roraima

Mount Roraima is the highest of the Pakaraima chain of tepui plateaus in South America.
It was first described in Europe by the English explorer Sir Walter Raleigh in 1596.
The mountain serves as the triple border point of Venezuela (85% of its territory), Guyana (10%) and Brazil (5%).
The plateau on top of the mountain is 31 km² and has some unique plants and animals. It is a national park and protected, and the access is highly restricted because of the vulnerability.
Most of the nutrients flush away over the edges in the several waterfalls, falling some 400 meters, making them some of the highest waterfalls in the world.
It rains every day.
The mountain is holy to the people of the area, and there are myths explaining it as the stump of a giant tree once holding all the fruits and edible vegetables in the world.
There is only one route to the top that doesn't require mountain-climbing skills and equipment.

Fly Geiser

 It used to be an ordinary well. Then it started shooting hot water. Since that the waters have brought up minerals and that has been collecting during the years. This pile is about 1.5 meters high. The colors are due to algae.
Fly Geiser is not a tourist attraction but on private property.

Bermuda triangle

There's a lot of myths about this place. Most of it is just that, myths.
It is a very large area with no islands and not much traffic, so there are no eyewitnesses, nor can the disappearances be proven, as the Gulf stream takes any possible debris quickly away.
They say that "At least 1000 lives are lost within the last 100 years. On average, 4 aircraft and 20 yachts go missing every year."  (I have my suspicions about this data, though. Also, how many do not go missing? I can imagine there's quite a lot of small planes and yachts in that area that are not influenced in any way by this mysterious force.)
Most of the disappearances can be explained with natural reasons like equipment dysfunction and storm. but the people who want to believe explain these as part of the mystery. "It might be natural, but it ain't normal and it happens there more often than not..."
Some of the disappearances haven't happened even close this place, but as they are disappearances, people are saying that it is POSSIBLE they DID happen here.
These "disappearances" have been explained with aliens or Atlantis and other such things.
US government has their Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center in this area.
People claim that there is "electronic mist" and "time warp tunnels" in the area.
The first person to report about Bermuda Triangle was Christopher Columbus. He wrote in his journals that inside the triangle, the ship's compass stopped working and he also saw a fireball in the sky.

Blood Falls

 This is in the Antarctis, South from Australia. It is, of course, iron oxide - rust - that colors the water, but the interesting part of this is that the water is highly salty and there are micro-organisms living in it. It also look pretty impressive.

Travertine Pools Of Pamukkale

Pamukkale, meaning "cotton castle" in Turkish, is a natural site in Denizli Province in southwestern Turkey. The city contains hot springs and travertines, terraces of carbonate minerals left by the flowing water.
People have been pretty horrible using the site and the water, so people are not allowed to the terraces and bathing is only allowed in some selected small pools. It's worth visiting, though.

Richat Structure

 This is the "Eye of Sahara", in West Sahara in Mauretania. The thing with this is that we don't know how it was formed. Was is a meteorite? A volcano? Atlantis? Aliens? As many theories and explanations as people, nothing certain.

Moeraki Boulders

The "giant's marbles" are round stones about the size of a person. They say it's calcified mud - basically natural cement - and have been eroded from the surrounding stone, which was softer. As the shell is harder than the heart, these boulders break sometimes, and people like to sit inside them or so. As far as I know there are no restrictions on visiting this beach in New Zealand, just be mindful of your behavior, manners and the environment, AS YOU ALWAYS SHOULD.

Go everywhere that Hank Snow went too "I've been Everywhere Man"

I was totin' my pack
Along the dusty Winnemucca road
When along came a semi
With a high and canvas covered load
"If you're going to Winnemucca, Mack
With me you can ride."
So I climbed into the cab
And then I settled down inside
He asked me if I'd seen a road
With so much dust and sand
And I said,
"Listen, Bud I've traveled
Every road in this here land."

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
'Cross the deserts bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel, I've had my share, man
I've been everywhere.

"I know some place you haven't been."

I've been everywhere.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, some of these places are not in the USA.

Also, this is not a list of  92 places.

There are 25 places called Buffalo, two of them not in the USA. Which one of them does Hank mean?
All of them.

There are 16 different Bangors in the world.

Nevertheless, I think Waterloo might be the biggest "problem" here.
The original Waterloo is in Belgium.
There are places called Waterloo in Antarctica, Australia (4), Canada (3), New Zealand, Sierra Leone, the UK (7), and the US (about 29 or so).

Or perhaps Springfield. There are 6 in Australia, one in Belize, 6 in Canada, 2 in Ireland, 1 in New Zealand, 1 in South Africa, a dozen in the UK, 45 in the USA, and one in the Virgin Islands.

------------------------

So, how to do this?

1. Write a list of all the places mentioned in the song.

2. Get a largish world map, and start pinning these places on the map. Maybe you decide after the 20th Jacksonville, that that wasn't a good idea after all... :-D
You could decide to only go to the places that are in America. (That's the continent of America, not the USA. Though you can decide to only do the USA as well.)

Now, thanks to Internet, Preikestolen, Trolltunga and Kjeragbolten have found their way to many bucket lists, which means that there's always a LOT of people.

St Olav's Pilgrim's Route is something very special for me. I started crying seeing Nidaros Cathedral in a photo. I can't imagine the emotional impact of the "real thing"...

Anyway, this is a nice little circle for me. Now, Hurtigrutten sails from Bergen to Kirkenes

While in Alesund, visit the Atlantic Sea Park at Tueneset, the biggest saltwater aquarium in northern Europe. Visit in December for next-level skiing in the Sunnmore alps.
