BBQ and lake swimming at the Feldmochinger See

Today I rediscovered the joys of swimming and especially swimming in lakes (I must stop smoking, the technique and power was there but not the stamina) and was wandering if anyone else was up for it on Saturday 24th of June. This will be the day after Crawlie's leaving do, and swimming is actually very good for clearing the head of a hangover. I thought perhaps the afternoon say 2ish would be good, if the weather is kind.

I have chosen Feldmoching See, which I have never visited on the recommendation of my landlord, who tells me the water is cleanest in this lake as compared to Lerchenauer See where I was today. However if anyone else has any better suggestions then by all means we can do that instead.

post to this thread if you are interested.

count me in please

certainly, that makes two of us now!!!

Use sunscreen, Don't get "Burned" hehehehehe

oh! i'd love to join you, but i think i'll probably be working that day since it's the 5th birthday of one of the little girls. if i'm not working i'm definately coming along! i love lakes!

Are you going to the FKK section?

mere, it is a big pond, not a lake per se.

sniff sniff big pond, but it's still imitation 'open water' i know i won't find my beloved Great Lakes here!

come now DarkKnight, you should know better than to take any notice of anything certain so called Christians say.


I am game, and I have swum naked in the Isar, but I thought it would put people off if we went to the FKK section (the nudey place)


how big does it need to be? Once upon a time I could do 5km swims, but now... Let's just say smoking is a very bad thing and you shouldn't do it.

I have just confirmed with my landlord that there is a beer garden where we can get something to eat, and there are kiosks round the lake where it is possible to buy beer. Forgive me for stating the obvious, but one should not drink and then swim, especially if you go out wide and far from help.

The naked volleyball is a must to check out, but don't be an ogler. Join in and let it all flap about.

lol

thanks eurovol, I think I need all the help I can get with this thread.

I used to go there all the time. That is until it got overcrowded. There is a "bugger see" close by that we found to be better. Much more cleaner and we could take our dog.

last week i took my dog to "Poinger See" (definately just a small puddle. i'm not sure if i'd even call it a pond!) it was great fun. At times it was a bit crowded, but still it was fun with him splashing about.

if you swim out far enough, you can get some space.

I've been to Felmochinger See several times but now that I live in Unterschleissheim, I go to either the little lake behind the Ruderregatta or the Unterschleissheimer See. The lake behind the RR has a raft that you can swim out to. Does the Feldmochinger See have one?

Friday, honey, how could you forget the essential information: Bring your own BBQ! You are allowed to bbq on the western shore providing you clean up after yourselves. No bonfires, no "organized" parties - so this is all spontaneous - and please take your garbage back home.
You can get to the lake by bus 172 from Feldmoching (U2), it runs every 40 mins on weekends. Link to schedule. Biking is a nice alternative, link to route starting at Lerchenauer Strasse (north and east of Olympiapark).
Scogs and I might show up, depends on the jet lag.

thanks Sarabyrd, I did intend to add all that later. At the moment we only have two people with three possibles, so I thought it would be simpler just to go to the beer garden there for food and drink. To be honest I want to keep the focus on the lake swimming, although if there is enough interest in a barbecue then yeah why not?

As it happens there is this super hot german babe who is a regular by the coffee bar where I work, and I mentioned to her that I had been lake swimming, and she said "I love to do that as well, perhaps when you next have the early shift we can do it after work" She went before I had the chance "God yes", so I left a message by her work saying how about tomorrow, so if everyone could wish me luck!! She has the kind of body that would look sooooo good in a swimsuit, and not only that but she seems a really nice, charming girl.

And maybe even without the swimsuit
I thought the BBQ option might draw a bit more of a crowd.

Okay, well if enough people express an interest then yeah let's do it, but like I say at the moment we only have 2 with three possible.

How about altering the title so to indicate the possibilty of a barbecue if there is enough interest?

well my landlord has just told me that he can lend me a portable barbecue if we do go for a barbeuce.

What time are you gonna be there? we might join you.

so far looks as if you're getting your good weather for sat!

i still have to see if i'm working or not due to the 5th bday thingy, but please keep us updated on the plans and the time etc.

harrump my sister needs me to help her moving in a new flat. So if you are there in the evening I might be able to join. just give me an idea how long you will be there.

Definitely. I'd want to know that my bbq'd sausage is just that.

well at the moment it is fairly flexible, at the moment we have only me and Koroosh as confirmed with everyone else as possibles. My original thought was myabe about two ish, and that the first people could meet up at Feldmoching Sbahn and then take the bus there, and then I would leave my mobile number on this thread so that anyone else who came along later could find us without too much trouble.

Does anyone else have any particular wishes for the time?

does anyone mind if a dog comes along?

Keep him away from the BBQ, especially if Koreans are around

hahah thanks Sarabyrd. i'll warn Bren of his possible fate.

so is it only 2 of us? :-(

i don't know. i'm not sure yet if i'm going or not.

Still depends on Scogs' jet lag and if we can see the game around there.

enough shilly shallying about. I am going to catch the 172 bus at 12.24pm on Saturday from Feldmoching U and S bahn station, and will get there a bit earlier so I can meet up with anyone else who wants to be there. I will probably stay until about four ish. The bus stop is Feldmching see

If enough people confirm that this is a good time for them to come to the barbecue, then I will bring the barbecue and coal etc otherwise I would say let's just go to the beer garden for something to eat.

My phone number for anyone who wants to come later is oh174 793 3875

Okay the barbecue is now on.

Are you only gonna be there untill 16.00?

give us a call on the day to see if we are still there at that time.
If people will confirm that they are coming at such and such a time, then I will stay.

Feringa See is also a great lake for barbequeing. There are signs everywhere telling people not to but no one takes notice and grills are set up everywhere. The water is also really nice and they have beach volleyball courts as well. But one thing to note is the sheer amount of whiny little children running all over the place so dont expect any peace and quiet.

thanks serenityforever

okay i have got the charcoal and white things, no turning back now.

Well I might come to your bbq. Not sure what ill bbq though used to be able to buy vegetarian hotdogs at aldi sud but i can't find them anymore.I suppose corn works.

by all means, my number is above if you want to come later

Well, maybe after laying out in the sun Tomorrow, they won't be so white
But hopefully not burned either...

@ Darkknight

at least you're not accusing me of writing poems about other tters, like a certain lying **** did.

hehehe leave the tension for tomo. it'll make the swim all the better

still planning on taking the 12:24 bus?
sure the 1:04 bus doesn't sound better and float your boat?

I am marinating some slices of zucchini and have some nice big champignons that taste great with garlic butter after being roasted. Tomatoes, green or red peppers, veggie kebab (mushroom, onion, cherry tomato, red pepper, artichoke heart etc.) - let your imagination run wild.
P.S. I think that Penny or Tengelmann have veggie burgers.

mmmmmm veggie burgers! haven't had a tasty one of those in a long while

no, once I have gotten fixated on something, I am far to anal and emotionally troubled to change my mind, and if you don't believe me just ask our mutual acquaintance mentioned in my post above.

umm... i believe you! please don't make me ask!!! and tomo we'll let all the grrrr out from the lovely person.

cool well... i'll try my darndest to get there for the 12:24 bus, but highly doubtful! i asked my boss how long i have to be around tomo b/c people were meeting noonish and i'd like to be there. she said no prob. but i dont think she realized be there not leave to be there at noonish (ie- me leave here at 1030 or whatever) so we'll see come tomo when i actually get out of here, but i think i'll be, hopefully, on the 1:04 bus (well hopefully earlier and not later).

okay my number is above, so you can call to confirm where we have set up

yups no prob. and if you see a short rotund brown haired girl w/ a furry mutt wandering around that'll be me.

Wow. You type really well for a furry mutt

I might come as well. I really have to see how my job applications go. And I should reinstall my laptop. And do some shopping for the weekend, otherwise I'll have nothing to eat. And...

Well, anyway, expect me if you see me. If you see a short (very) non-rotund chap wandering around that'll be me, and you have my permission to take pity on me and offer me a sausage.
