Plans

relet: Bring the long slackline. Go swimming and slacking! :D I'll probably go by car to carry my gear - in that case there will be seats available. -- relet 14:21, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
update: Phoenix grautitousl^Wgrateful^Wkindly offered his car. -- relet 15:15, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
pari: maybe going by bike and getting back to Berlin city limit before sunset, that means leaving the meetup point by 19:30 CEST at the latest. gonna wait for detailed plans from you guys :) --pari 20:53, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
We will start off roughly 1730 (to be confirmed by Phoenix) so that we can reach the hashpoint and the channel and have some time for the set up. -- relet 21:06, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Ok, I'll start in a few minutes. See you later. :) --pari 14:22, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Pulling is faster that rowing.

Whoa - that's a bit higher than we thought.
relet passes the rowing test.
Erm.. just testing the flex. Really.

And now where you would expect to see us walking, there is only a big nothingness. Partly, because the wet rope was too heavy - so that we did not get further than ten to twenty steps. Partly, because the photographers were on the other side of the channel. Partly, because it got dark. :P
