Hiking - Part 54

 Naked European Walking Tour 2023

The Naked European Walking Tour (NEWT) is a yearly event held in the Austrian Alps.  Pascal, second from the right above, contributes to and follows my blog, and he is one of the organizers of NEWT.  Thank you, Pascal!  Pascal lives in France, and he organizes naturist walks in France, Austria and Germany. 

Another participant in the 2023 NEWT was Lim, seen above with Pascal on the summit of the Rastkogel.  Lim came all the way from Singapore.  The writing on the cross says "Dem treuen Berg Kamaraden" (the true mountain comrades).  It appears that Pascal and Lim became comrades on this hike.

Here are Pascal and Lim by a wayside shrine.

And here's Lim cooling off his feet after a long day of hiking.

Another hiker in the group whom we have met before was Jerome Jolibois, second from right.  Jerome organizes the annual World Naked Bike Ride in Brussels, Belgium

Here's Jerome posing in front of some spectacular Alpine scenery in the Tyrol region of Austria where the NEWT hike took place.

Through the hike was in July, there were still patches of snow for Jerome to play on.

Jerome's comment on this photo was "Tyrol is so beautiful."  

We end with a group photo of all of the participants in the event.  Lim is sitting at the left on the first step, and Jerome is the second from the right on that same step.  Where's Pascal?  He must be the one taking the photo.
