International friends! Meet outside of Spicheren at 0915 tomorrow.
Checklist:
Food + something hot to drink
Some rope
Proper boots to keep your feet warm and dry
Something to sit on
An extra pair of dry socks
Pencil and paper
Map of Jegersberg (if you have it)
Compass
Something to keep your maps and paper dry

We’ll be on foot all day, so don’t put on too many layers, and bring something to keep you hydrated and your energy up.
The weather forecast says it’s going to be raining all day so your outfit should at least be water resistant/proof.

The trip

We were split into 4 smaller groups and were told to find different points on the maps where we can find a paper with a task on it, which we have to do/solve (e. g. Explain 10 different features on the map, two of your groups have a injured leg → support them on their way back, …).

Reflection

nice idea which connects hiking and thinking/playing, but of course hiking was in the main focus. Unfortunately it rained quite hard on this day, so we were soaked after the first hour. In my opinion they could have shortend the trip because of the bad weather conditions and the big chance to get sick after that. At least they did not make a fire in the end but had some sweets for the fastest group.
