Hello Klaus,

Outstanding work! Most comprehensively structured and explained including background information such as
longitude and latitude distances in the GPS chapter! A one-stop reference.

Do you still have time for mountain hiking?

Cheers
Robert

Hi guys.
Thank you for your nice comments.

Do you still have time for mountain hiking?

Oh yes, don't worry.
I was hiking yesterday, today and will go again on thursday.

Best regards.

The picture below was taken 2 weeks ago, a whole day Snowshoe hiking.
Alpage de l'Arpille and Rhone valley.

Fantastic work Klaus! :sign0098:

I've just had a quick look through and it seems very comprehensive.

Love the picture. Reminds me of a walking holiday we had in Mayrhofen a couple of years ago.

 

[Erel]

Love the picture.

I completely agree. It looks amazing!

 

[Penko]

We had much snow this winter and I was hiking too. But now I can't help waiting for the weather to get warmer.

Hello,

thanks for great work!

Any chance to have it in other format - epub / mobi / rtf - to make it more e-readers friendly?

Danke Klaus, für die ganze wertvolle Arbeit!

Great documents - Thanks.

As a beginner its so useful to have something you can print out and can study 'off-line'. Really helps to speed up the learning process (and conversion from VB/VBA)!

..And thanks too to all contributors on this forum - its one of the freindliest and most helpful I have used.
