The Léman Rose by Seven Centimetres Overnight — Jul 17, 2021With the weather system that we have had over Europe a lot of rain has fallen. So much rain has fallen that it has swollen rivers and flooded plenty of regions. In Switzerland, because almost everything is on a hill flooding might be noticed in some parts of certain cities, but in theory it is easy, within meters, to be safe from the flood.... -
Rolle's Ingress mission — Jan 5, 2015[caption id=“attachment_2112” align=“alignnone”] If you like medieval castles The Rolle Ingress mission starts at the castle and has you walk towards the centre. You then walk along the main street and through an arch back towards the lake side. From here you walk along the lake for a short distance before heading back in to town and the last portal. As this mission requires hacks and nothing more it is a perfect farming mission. The distance is relatively short....

A Walk By The Léman — Jan 20, 2022Today I walked down from a village towards the Léman and passed by the UEFA headquarters and football fields before walking by the car Park to the Colovrey Swimming pool. There were very few people, except a few cyclists. The road was good. I went down to the water and took two or three pictures before heading back up.... -

A Sea-like Lake — May 17, 2019In the middle of summer you may go sailing on the lake and find that there is no, or very little wind. On such days you may spend long periods of time hoping for the wind to pick up and get from point A to point B.... -
A Project to Cycle Around the Léman — Jun 10, 2025Cycling around the Léman is a challenge that I could try with a group on Sunday. It would begin and end in Geneva. My maximum range so far is 180 kilometres, and a fast ride, for me, is twenty five kilometres per hour. The group set a goal of 27 kilometres per hour.... -
The Logistics of a Thonon and Yvoire Bike Ride — Jun 5, 2025There are two bike rides that I would like to do. One is from Geneva to Yvoire and back, and the other is from Thonon for a fifty kilometre loop in the Alps.

A Morning Run to the Lake and Back — May 27, 2025This morning I ran towards the lake. If I had continued going west I could have gone to the Piscine De Colovray, had a swim, and then walked home or taken a publibike, once I was tired enough. In fact I live along the course for the Nyon Triathlon so I could easily train for the triathlon without needing to use a car.... -
Running from Nyon to Gland via the Toblerones — May 5, 2025Yesterday I went out in track suit trousers, a t-shirt and minimal other stuff. The plan was to run just three to four kilometres. I planned not to cross any busy roads. I had this plan because I felt that I needed a day of rest after yesterday’s bike ride....

The Sunday Stroll to Majinsee — Aug 6, 2024If the Lammenhüutte is too strenuous for you there is an easier option. A walk to the Majinsee and back, via the Thermal gorge. This is an easy hike with 300m of climbing and descent on wide gravel paths rather than narrow hiking paths. It takes you by a cold water lake before taking you through a vertiginous gorge that is not for those that suffer from a fear of heights.... -
