Running the Mad MeerKAT Dash and the Losberg Loop
| Submitter: | Rob Millenaar |
| Description: | At ASTRON there is ample opportunity for lunch-time walks and runs in the Dwingelerveld National Park. There is even a "Sterrenwachtloop" (Observatory Run), connecting the Westerbork and Dwingeloo telescopes. On the last edition, your humble servant struggled through this picturesque 24 km run. Now that I find myself in South Africa the running continues, also at the site of the MeerKAT and (future) SKA1-Mid arrays in the Karoo. The other day I established two routes and lightly ran them to set a target for others to improve upon (which can be easily done). I have named these runs: I invite all ASTRON athletes to engineer an opportunity to come over to smash my times(*). Until then, I proudly hold the records. (*) But remember the admiring colonial homily: "Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noon-day sun". |
