11 cities skating tour: winter fun in Tessin

Post by Trouble Ahead »

Welcome at our 11 cities skating tour !
( set your environment to midnight for best experience)

In the Netherlands is a tradition in winter, when there is a long cold freezing period . They have the " eleven cities tour" ( Elfstedentocht) , a 200 km skating route that leads to eleven cities in the northern part of the Netherlands. Its very popular and the Dutch see it as an honor when you are able to skate the whole route in one day.

We made a wonderful long skating route for you with eleven checkpoints, on the frozen channels in a old Dutch picturesque city ! Like in a real skating tour , you need to collect stamps at every checkpoint. When you found them all, you can earn the famous " eleven city tour cross ", a trophy that is famous for skaters all over the world !

Under-ways is lots to see and explore.

How to get there ?
Find Tessin in search... then at landing point pick the door with the 11 cities sign on it. It will teleport you to starting point, skates and AO provided and information about the tour.

I hope people who did the tour could place comments in this thread, and of course we will publish who got the famous 11 cities tour cross trophy!

All welcome :)

First winner came skating all the way from OS grid : Ale Zed finished the tour as first one ! YAY !

"Thank you very much for the wonderful experience, I did not know about the event and so I was able to overcome my ignorance. Unfortunately the "stamps" are not exportable via hypergrid, it was however remarkable to taste the delicious hot chocolates."

The brave skater Ernest.Moncrieff from OSgrid did an attempt , but had to quit ( I think it was frozen toes...) but this was his command after saying he would come back for attempt number two:

"Wonderful build, you can almost feel the chill of a 'little ice age' Renaissance painting"
