La région choisie n'est qu'à quelques minutes en voiture du bureau et elle est particulièrement attrayante pendant les chaudes soirées ensoleillées de l'été. Le Gempen est presque notre montagne à nous : le premier relief dans les environs et un beau terrain de jeu pour les vététistes, randonneurs et, donc, les grimpeurs. En effet, au sommet de la colline se trouve une belle barrière rocheuse orientée au sud-ouest parfaitement adaptée à la grimpe : le Schartenfluh qui pointe vers le „Gämpe" allemand bâlois.

    Winger for the Weekend #136

    Winger for the Weekend #134

    Every summer there's one hot song that infects the airwaves so deeply that it seems to be bumping from every available speaker on the planet. Well, this year we're putting in our vote for Japanese/Bavarian yodelmaster and chicken herder Takeo Ischi's scorching new track featured here in Winger for the Weekend #134. The apparent result of a... [READ MORE]

    Winger for the Weekend #132

    There are a few ways to make history—invent something that changes the way we live our lives, commit a heinous atrocity or heroic act, or go skipping down the street in boxing shorts and headband toting a boombox like a oomplete jackass. In Winger for the Weekend #132, the latter of these options is illustrated by The Skipper, who says that... [READ MORE]
