This is another place where you could easily find me on a warm day from spring to early autmn. One of Uppsalas five frisbee golf courses. Preferably I throw my discs at the Ultuna course. Like I did today (see the picture) and believe me or not but I set a new personal record and that this early in the season. I improved my score with five throws and that is rather a lot. Especially at this craving court. It´s been years since I cut my best result at Ultuna that huge.

The frames represents from left to right and downwards:

1. Me at the first hole
2. My favorite long distance range disc. It´s an old Leopard in classic plastic.
3. An unbelievable lucky throw at hole 3. I´m i" on the right side. Otherwise you have to go back about 70 yards and make your second + one throw.
4. My favorite hole # 8. You´re standing about 20 yards above the basket and the distance is 95 yards. A windy day this hole is TRICKY!
5. Happily ever after. Home at hole 18 with a new personal record!
6. The reward! At home there was a cold Fuller´s IPA waiting.

hey thanks for sharing. there are some frisbee golf courses here too, i used to live pretty close to one of them but never tried it though.
i often went for a picnic on that frisbee course area with friends, once i remember i got an idea to climb into a tree and it took ages for me to get down. would have been embarrassing if the fire department must have been called, to pick me down, like a cat. 

i've updated my blog with a few more entries about small adventures in the natural world. also, introducing the new blog theme /thanks david for help!).

Nice gorge in Spain. But I don't think I'll ever go there. Too dangerous.
There's an old walkway and it's forbidden to take nowadays. 6000 euros fine if you get caught.

Scary video (for those sensitive to heights). It's more about climbing/walking through the path than filming the landscapes there, but I can't help to watch it anyway. Crazy stuff.

:eek:
thanks for the link, that was almost unreal. awesome place but i couldn't take a step on that path.
i wonder why and how the walkway was originally built(?). it must have been a difficult job!

(funny how there seemed to be quite a lot of people there even if it's forbidden - but i guess it's not the easiest place for cops to go and arrest anyone.  )


**edit:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caminito_del_Rey

In 1901 it became obvious that workers at the hydroelectric power plants at Chorro Falls and Gaitanejo Falls needed a walkway to cross between the falls, to provide for transport of materials, and for the inspection and maintenance of the channel. Construction of the walkway took four years and it was finished in 1905.

they must have had only people with strong stomachs working on that hydrogen plant.
