It's WINE O'Clock! Brisen -> Pilgram Hike 26km
TO REGISTER
When on the waitlist send me a message 'Contact Host on the left' so I know you're committed.
There are no automatic transfers. Being on the waitlist alone does not guarantee a spot.
Slots will be allocated in the order messages are received.
TRAVEL
Participants will receive notification of the departure location/times and return times via an email.
Deutschland Ticket or organise your own rail fare.
Meeting point is on the platform, by the first carriage. Look out for the viszla dog.
COORDINATION
Please note all coordination is done via the Telegram group t.me/berlinhike
TOUR
We will travel south of Briesen through forest to pick up a route along the Oder-Spree Kanal before turning north through fields towards our final destination.
At our destination - a winery - there is a hofladen and we will be able to try various wines. PLUS 'get your groove on' and 'bust a move' at the Brandenburger Landpartie event, with Oktoberfest Spitzbuben performing live.
FOOD & DRINK
Bring food for lunch, snacks & plenty of water for the hike. There is an Edeka at the start location if you need to grab something. There will be food at the winery festival for the evening (I assume!)
DEPARTURE
You are free to take which ever return train, which is hourly and about 15 minutes walk from the winery.
WHAT ELSE
You are responsible for your own safety.
I prefer smaller groups, as this is less stress on the nature.
Wear weather appropriate clothes and sturdy shoes.
Bug spray - is essential at this time of year! Bear spray - probably not essential at all!!!
**Dogs present/allowed. Please do not feed the dog(s)!**
Hike will be at a standard pace of about 4km per hour
All costs are yours.
Please note my hikes don't always go to plan!
Only thunderstorms & torrential rain will halt this hike!
RULES
Attendance Policy
If you are moved to “going” and are either a NO SHOW or do not update your RSVP at least 72 hours before the hike starts, you will receive a 3-month ban* from my future hikes, no exceptions!
Additionally, all participants failing to show up or update their RSVP will be marked as NO SHOW to advise other organisers.
DO NOT just SHOW UP - you will be banned from HIKE BERLIN
Why These Rules?
Late RSVPs and no-shows, are a very annoying thing to manage, and therefore I introduced a two tier signup process, to prioritise fairness for the community.
The goal is to give committed individuals a better chance to participate and maintain a positive group experience. Not just first click first serve basis.
*It's free, but not free to take the piss!
