Lion Knight’s Castle Bag 25/26: We finally finish topping off the gatehouse. I like the guard blowing the trumpet. Almost done!

Castle Bag 24
Lion Knight’s Castle Bag 24/26: We add a portcullis behind the drawbridge plus a mechanism to raise it and we put foliage on the tree. I love the beehive (and that the hive piece fits over a minifig head for shenanigans). I didn’t manage to get this built over my holiday break!
Castle Bag 23
Lion Knight’s Castle Bag 23/26: We finally mount the mechanism for lowering the drawbridge and complete the armory.
Castle Bag 22
Lion Knight’s Castle Bag 22/26: (built this yesterday) We build up the gatehouse even more with shields mounted over the front gate and start work on an armory.
St. Berchtold’s Day
Happy St. Berchtold’s Day!
Panoramaweg Ägerital
Panoramaweg Ägerital: 27.7km, 997m ascent/descent, 6h44m, 7°C 🌥️. Our feet were killing us but we made it all the way around the lake and back home. I set all kinds of records on my watch today.
Panoramaweg attempt
I have one more day off before I return to work on Tuesday. I’m going to try to hike the entire panorama trail around our valley in one go. I’m not sure the exact distance but it’ll be in the range of 28-32km. I don’t think I’ve ever hiked more than 20km in a day.
New Year’s Kayaking
I never thought that I’d be kayaking in a pre alpine lake located at 723m altitude in Switzerland on January 1, but here we are. Air temp was 13°C but the water is still a chilly 5°C.
Castle Bag 21
Lion Knight’s Castle Bag 21/26: We add a portcullis to the rear stairs and build the shitter plus murder holes along a parapet section.
Castle Bag 20
Lion Knight’s Castle Bag 20/26: We build the drawbridge with an interesting counterweight mechanism whereby its default position is raised and you pull the chains to lower it. Anyone standing on the bridge when it goes up gets dumped into the dungeon or catapulted into the keep.
