I invited to a Walkabout from Leer (Ostfriesland) to Oldenburg in Northwest Germany. Because of rain, we reduced it to a one-day bicycle tour to the Northsee coast (Krummhörn). We found plums, mirabelles, cherries and rosehips on the way to eat.

Here a farmer had cordoned off the road with ropes to give way to his 100 cows so that they could go from the stable to the pasture. After he had cleaned the road, he let us drive on. But we got talking. He is 62 years old and said that everything used to be better, when everyone knew everyone and there weren't so many buildings around. I largely agree with him. But I also think it's good that I now have a smartphone and a laptop to write this blog.

Does the Internet bring more benefits or more disadvantages to humanity? And how could the disadvantages be reduced? I will write an article about this.

I invited people to a Slow Walk with Jean-Claude and to a Cabo de Gata Walk with Joachim via the newsletter. The slow walk has been cancelled because Jean Claude is feeling too weak and nobody else registrated. He had two teeth pulled that were infected at the root. The Cabo de Gata Walk with Joachim will take place from 28 April.

We wanted to hike from the coast to the hot spring near Santa Fé on 18 - 24 Nov. I've been there a few times and have learned to love the place. The water is around 40 degrees and there are several hot waterfalls. Murielle hasn't been there yet because the spring has been closed and guarded for the past few years.

11 Nov: I feel something strange in my right foot. It becomes an inflamation, not on the skin but inside.

17 Nov: I walk only on one leg and with crutches. Murielle needs to go to France soon. So we cancel the walkabout. We will do it somewhen next year. There were two people who were interested to participate one day in the walkabout. I missed to inform them in time, I apologize. More about my leg disease

Nobody registrated for this event. And even my partner Murielle prefered to stay at home after the tiring paddle tour. So, I cancel the Survival Walk that we wanted to do on 21 - 17 Oct 2023 and envisage Oct 2024 for the walkabout. We want to live a few days on the berries and nuts we find in the Alpujarras mountains in South Spain: Dúrcal ► Cascada de los Bolos ► Hiking trail PRA-385 ► Hiking trail GR-240 (Sulayr) ► We decide spontaneously where to cuntinue. "Cascada de los Bolos" is an impressive waterfall where we can get a water massage. On the hiking trail "Sulayr", we want to live a few days on the food we find there. Beneficio is a hippie village.

Oiko and Seve are two special friends of mine. They have been consistent raw foodists for many years, led the raw food community "Terramana" in Sumatra (Indonesia) for several years - and now they are starting afresh in Sri Lanka! They found a beautifully situated piece of land there, with the sea on one side and a lake on the other, and very secluded. They are inviting people to a raw food gathering there in November. Soon they will send me the invitation and I will publish it (at least partially) here on the blog. They have the full support of the local people and authorities.

Update 18 Dec: There wasn't really a raw food gathering there. But they are on the way to create a spiritual raw food community on their land in Sri Lanka. You can find some information on the following page: invitation!
