Hinnerk's journey to Great Britain
Here's the tour to Edinburgh, with many pictures:
Back to the Guestbook
From June 30th to July 2nd the Institute for Adaptive and Neural Computation was lucky enough to enjoy great days at Firbush, the University Centre for Sports and Excercise. Several water sports were offered there, like wind surfing, sailing, kayaking and canoeing; accompanied by mountain biking, hill walking - and they had some good trekking bikes too!
The weather was changing quite often, so everybody got totally wet at least once, I think - but in between the sun helped to have good fun, too. Have a look!
Our Minibus tour to Firbush (for a more detailed map of Loch Tay: have a look at the 'Tour around the loch')
A first view out of the window - it was raining at the beginning; just in the minutes, when we wanted to start the sport, the clouds were blown away, though
The corridor with the sleeping rooms
Loch Tay is surrounded by many hills and mountains...
Some first trials to have fun with the wind :)
And some of us went on a nice mountainbike trip - Mark took these pictures!
Up to the finish!
Back on land, after a nice sail trip
This and the following seven photos are from Andrea - she has some more too, very nice -
feel free to contact her!
Properly dressed for some action on the water!
Here you go - the professional windsurfer
And the beginners do get their sail straight, too
What a fun!
Paolo, before his heart attack in the evening - the Portugese really won that night again!!
Having a break in the common room
On a short visit to the nearby village Killin
Having a view over the wild river
Good dinner was ready!
The chess game between Mark and Rowland fascinated many others too
The blackboard with educational stuff could be pushed aside - and a magical room appeared...
With much fun afterwards too
Leaving Firbush at 5.00 am, to have a ride around the lake - come with me!
The common room was used frequently during this day too...
Busily planing the outing to the playground
Ok - instead we tried to walk on top of this mountain :)
On top it was cloudy, and raining sometimes - but the view was still worth the effort!
Once more sun and rain met each other!
And the night was waiting...
The view of our nice barkeeper
And his treasures
Not dirty, but modern dancing - according to the commands of a laptop
And a last basketball game in the next morning...
For this eventuality there was always a bar laying nearby the harbour...
A last view over the loch... ;(
And in the bus to Edinburgh again
Reading...
... enjoying the countryside ...
... and taking a nap.
My first encounter with the Forth Bridges - worth a see!
