blutiger Stein
Das Ziel Eurer Wanderung ist der „blutige Stein“ manchmal auch „blauer Stein“ genannt. Um es zu erreichen solltet ihr zunächst herausfinden was eine Gierponte ist und wie mit ihrer Hilfe Hellweg und die alte römische Handelstraße miteinander verbunden waren. Wandert ohne öffentliche Straßen zu benutzen zu diesem Ort. Begebt Euch von dort, ohne eine Brücke zu benutzen auf die „Insel“ mit dem blutigen Stein. Findet heraus, wer dort einst Hof hielt. Findet und fotografiert den blutigen Stein. Dort werdet ihr zum Abendessen abgeholt. Als Hilfsmittel erhaltet Ihr eine Landkarte.
Ihr habt 30 Minuten Zeit, bevor Ihr zum Ausgangspunkt Eurer Suche gebracht werdet.
Erst wenn Ihr das Ziel erreicht habt, werdet Ihr zum Abendessen gebracht.
Es gelten folgende ergänzende Regeln:
· Es dürfen keine öffentlichen (geteerten) Wege benutzt werden. Auch das Entlanggehen an öffentlichen (geteerten) Wegen ist nicht gestattet.
· Von jedem Teilziel ist - wenn möglich - ein Photo (Gierponte, „Insel“, blutiger Stein) zu machen.
· Am Ziel müsst Ihr wissen, was der blutige Stein symbolisiert.
· Die Entscheidungen der Trainer sind endgültig und bindend.

I also have some familiarity with French, Spanish and Finnish.
Twenty years spent teaching Swedish and German (literature and language) as well as translation seminars (UCLA, U of Wisconsin, Yale University, U of Oregon) have prepared me for translation work that is accurate, well-informed and "conscious" of such issues as target culture and hermeneutic process.
I have steady clients who know they can trust me to deliver excellent work by the deadline requested, so I am often unavailable for other jobs. However, I will answer all queries. |
