island -> Halligen

Big floods in the midages removed large areas of the coastal main land in the german bay - leaving only small parts which are islands at high tide and reachable without ship at low tide and not reachable at all at 'Land Unter' (land under). when land ward storm and high tide come together. You can still see the roads on this picture when high tide is raising but not yet at highest peak.

Global warming is a big risk obviously.

boots -> lever rule

We told our kids from pre-school age upwards that normally skiing is outdated and telemarken (open heel skiing) is the way to go. More than 190cm and being girls with broader hips the lever rule says that forces are way quicker reaching damaging values for bones and muscles. Also more muscles involved, foot is in motion and less risk to freeze, ...

So we use to rent boots if needed. No need to pay 600Euro for boots for maybe 10 days a year. The problem is that they have big feet and boots for this size are not mass producted. In years we have enough snow single pole telemarken can be done at he higher hill around. Sadly snow years are no more the ones than when I was young.
