Body shaping with a view


The northern part of the area where I’m living is strewn with huge old coal mining dumps of different elevation that are now all part of strip land reclamation projects. They are lined by tracks, double tracks and trails with all degree of difficulty and are accessible to the public. One of my favourite training tour I call “dump hopping”. A big advantage of this tour is depending on the personal fitness I can go up the man-made hill or simply discard it and ride to the next one.
On the top you enjoy a fantastic view over the former affected coal mining area. Unfortunately a dingy reputation adheres to the industrial site to be stinky, grey and dirty. But it becomes more and more a chapter of the past.
