Tuesday Foodclub
Tuesday Foodclub
We are a group of people meeting on Tuesdays to socialize around cooking and eating together. Usually around 40-50 people. Many are international students, but also other people join. The foodclub exist independent of Meetup, we invite you because we have room for a few more people. The food is vegan and made from donated leftover veggies from a local greengrocery. The place has originally hosted leftwing activist groups, and many of the people joining are also involved in political groups. If you want to join for chopping and cooking, we will be doing that from 3 to 6 pm. It is possible to join part of the time. From 6:30 to 8pm we are serving food. Donation around 30 kroner. If you are helping out some hours, chopping, cooking or cleaning, you can eat for free. From 8 to 9 - 9:30 pm we are cleaning up the place. We hope to see you in our lovely foodclub <3

Fun social extraordinary Saturday run
Fun social extraordinary Saturday run
Join us for a trail run/jog/walk! We are not a typical running club, so please read about the concept in “about us”. How it works: we don’t know in advance where the trail will go, but we know it will be fun! A member of the club, the 'hare', sets a trail, usually marked with flour. The rest of us, the 'pack', follows the hare's 'scent', i.e., the marks. There will be a 8-10 km trail for runners with shortcuts down to 5-6 km for walkers and those who need a slower pace. We have no set pace - run/walk as slow or as fast as you'd like. After the run we enjoy some refreshments and socialize. Come a few minutes before the start so that you can say hi and leave your bag in a designated bag car before we set off at 14:30. Don’t worry if there are few registrations on Meetup. We have existed for 44 years, and a lot of our members (anywhere from 20 to 50 people) just show up. Four-legged friends are welcome! We never cancel. See you there!

Extreme: 80 KM - Söderåsen in 2 days!
Extreme: 80 KM - Söderåsen in 2 days!
Hey Randoms, Here we go again! The classic hike through the National Park in Sweden - Söderåsen - but with a twist. We now go hard, and complete it in 2 days, 1 night! We meet in CPH Central station and ride the train together. The hiking starts once we get off the train in Åstorp and finish Sunday in Höör. Both towns have decent train connections, and tickets are available from skånetrafiken.se **The Hike** There are pretty good water posts along the way. In several cases, the wells are shallow and the water is not safe to drink with filtering or some other type of purification. You need to bring a system for that, or let me know if you need support. Don't expect any food resupply options. Breaks will be short, no cooking. Food intake mostly happens as we walk, not stopping. Cooking is an option in camp, after the hike - as per your individual preference. We stop for foot maintenance as often as needed - be proactive, do not expect hot spots and blister candidates to go away. It's better to stop and tape it up. We are not likely to get a shelter. Bring a tent, hammock, tarp or similar. **Bailing out?** Bailing out is tricky on this one, and in case you want to bail you need to manage all navigation and logistics yourself - we don't have a support team er pre-planned exit options. **Randoms Rules Apply** Also, be aware that this hike is a Randoms hike, so the usual rules apply. This is not an easy hike, and we will get tired. Please be aware that this is a group hike. We hike together, we hike at pace of the slowest hiker. We all need to manage the gap behind us - not the gap in front of us. Group hike, we stick together, no gaps. Group hike, we stick together, no gaps. Group hike, we stick together, no gaps. This helps us achieve flow. And flow means a better average pace over time. **Flow** Try to keep your pack on during very short breaks. E.g. when somebody ties a shoe lace or does a quick change of clothes or socks, or stops for a second to grab something from the pack. When packs drop, it can take quite a while to mobilize the group again, and the breaks tend to add up to a very long day, increasing overall fatigue. Also, make sure to have your water and snacks available - without having to take off your pack. This has great impact on flow. Flow is faster over time. And flow means less fatigue. Less fatigue means a better experience. Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. And as usual, you need to come self-supported. As if you were going solo. **Train details - from Copenhagen** 8:30 departure Öresundståg 1034 - platform: check information screens 9:54 we get off at Helsingborg station 10:18 departure from Helsingborg station Skånetrafiken Train 1812 10:43 we get off at Åstorp station - and hike! Tickets: Skånetrafiken mobile app is recommended. **The plan** Saturday: 51 KM Sunday: 30 KM - train home from Höör.
