But before I can verify that, I have to get there. The next hill is the Rimberg, the highest point of today’s walk, crowned by a tower with supposedly magnificent views. I know I do have a bit more climbing ahead of me today, but I can be quite a miser if it comes to altitude. I can easily imagine their strategic importance above the trade roads along the Lahn.īeing at such high spot means of course I have to go down again, sacrificing precious altitude I have gained already. Only a few tumbling stones, rough embankments and some cellar holes are visible, but the site is well described through signs and explanations. Here the remains of two small medieval castles are hidden among the trees. Parts of the path are still covered in snow and sometimes ice, but I make good time up unto the first hill of the day: Hohenfels. How will it affect my overall fitness? There are more than enough reports of lingering side effects. While I only had mild symptoms, they were spread out over the two weeks and my sense of smell has not fully returned. Yesterday I did a short but brisk walk and felt fine.īut a lingering doubt remains. 2 days ago the public health office called for a short interview and concluded that my quarantine could end as planned. 11 days ago I received a call from my doctor that I was Covid-positive and that I was confined to my apartment for the next 10 days. Normally that is not a big deal for me, but today is different, as so many things currently are.ġ4 days ago I suddenly lost my sense of smell, which turned the slight cold symptoms I had into something much more menacing. Ahead of me are the next two sections of the Lahn hiking trail ( Lahnwanderweg), about 30km through the river valley and the hills around it. I’m standing on a bridge across the river Lahn in unseasonably warm February sunshine. This post is a look at the hobby side of Maps & More (the “More” part), specifically my love of hiking. You can see me building the communications tower in time lapse here.
#PROFANTASY CAMPAIGN CARTOGRAPHER ZIP FILE#
I don’t have any assembly instructions, but I hope the photos included in the zip file will make it clear enough. At 100% scale they fit 28-32mm models nicely, but you can simply scale them down if you are playing with smaller (15mm or 6mm) models. They are small enough to hold up without additional strengthening. I recommend printing the files to cardstock paper. If you are interested in the Campaign Cartographer source files, head over to this thread in the ProFantasy forum.
#PROFANTASY CAMPAIGN CARTOGRAPHER PDF#
Here I will provide pdf files of the models only. Permission is granted to copy, print and assemble these for others to use. As it is now large enough to make quite an interesting and useful collection I thought I’d share them here for general use.ĭownload the pdf papercraft collection Colonial Outpost. Over the past few months I’ve been building up a little collection of papercraft models, designing them in Dioramas 3, and building them for my own science fiction games.

Wir wandern um den See und laufen ein Stück des Planetenweges, bevor es Zeit wird, mich zum Bahnhof zu bringen.
Der Zug von Ludwigsburg geht aber erst um 12:30 so dass Stef, Frank und ich nach dem Frühstück noch Schloss Monrepos anzuschauen, eines der kleineren Lustschlösser der Württemberger Herzöge. Nach einem gemeinsamen Abendessen beim Italiener, einem netten Abend mit viel Quatschen und einer erholsamen Nacht, soll es dann heute mit der Bahn nach Stühlingen gehen, dem Start der Wanderung. Statt mit dem Eurostar durch den Chunnel zu düsen, bin ich also mit Stef nach Ludwigsburg gefahren und statt meinen alten Ringkrieg-Mitspieler Andrew in York zu treffen, sehe ich endlich die Dänemark-Fahrer Frank, Frank und Heiko wieder. Aber aufgeschoben ist nicht aufgehoben, und die Hebriden werde ich hoffentlich nächstes Jahr nachholen. Eigentlich sollte ich ja auf dem Hebridean Way im äußersten Nordwesten der britischen Inseln unterwegs sein und mir den Atlantikwind um die Ohren wehen lassen, aber eine uns allen bekannte Pandemie hat das verhindert. Dieses mal ist es der Schluchtensteig, eine 6-tägige Tour durch den Süden des Schwarzwalds.
Also, es geht endlich wieder los, auf eine mehrtägige Wanderung, auf die ich euch ein bisschen mitnehmen möchte.
