As per tradition, the board hosts a pancake evening once a year. During this event, the board will explain all there is to know about being part of the board of All Terrain. If you are thinking about becoming board next year or if you are curious about what the board does, please join us January 29th at 18.00. Sadly, due to covid, we cannot make any pancakes for you, but we do have some entertainment prepared! Raymond has claimed he can eat 16 pancakes in one sitting and we are going to watch him throw up! Hope to see you there! (we will meet in the AT Discord)

After 2 exam weeks it's time for something fun! In this crazy game you are racing against each other and time. How does it work? You get a list of tasks. Your goal is to finish as many as possible in the set time and collect evidence by photo or video that you did so. However, not only quantity counts, also creativity will be rewarded. At the end of the day a jury will judge who performed the best and won this edition of Krezie 88 (or perhaps, Fabulous 44, Sexy 66, but that you will see that Saturday ;-) ).   The game can be played in duo's or individually. Typically, the game is most enjoyable with a companion (so someone can hold the camera and you can help each other work out ideas). Therefore we ask whether it would be possible to you to have someone over and which people you would like as a buddy. However we'll include sufficient tasks that can be done on your own to make it possible to do it by yourself. A selfiestick or tripod could be handy in that case. You don’t need to be in Eindhoven to participate (it could make pairing up easier, though).

We are going mountainbiking again! On 6th February, we will be mountainbiking for a day through a forest, and even over a hill (!) near Eindhoven. We will hire mountainbikes, usually 21.50 euros, now approximately five euros per person due to sponsoring from All Terrain (or free if you have your own mountainbike). We will be cycling in pairs. Due to COVID we unfortunately cannot have an instructor, but the bike trails are not too technical. It will be a lot of fun to ride over even if you have never mountainbiked before! We will be gathering at 0900 at Op Noord, where we will pick up bikes and helmets, and then cycle approximately 35 minutes to the trail. We will be back by approximately 1630. We plan to stop somewhere on the way to have lunch, so bring food and water along with you. We will be cycling for some time so bring enough food- although it is also possible to go back earlier if you are very tired.  Warm sports clothes and gloves are advisable.

With the current restrictions in place, we had to postphone some of our more offline events for January. Instead we are going to have some online fun! January 15th 20.00 will be the time of another board game night. We are simply going to play some good old fashioned games over the internet. There are a lot of website that aim to provide us with the good stuff in our time of need. Please check in the squares of the games you want to play below, so it is easier to decide on the games we want to play together. Hope to see you in the discord!

Mountainbiking! An outdoor sport we can still enjoy during COVID! On 9th January, we will be mountainbiking for three hours in a forest near Eindhoven. We will hire mountainbikes, usually 17.50 euros, now approximately ten euros per person due to sponsoring from All Terrain (or free if you have your own mountainbike). We will be cycling in pairs. Due to COVID we unfortunately cannot have an instructor, but the bike trails are not too technical. It will be a lot of fun to ride over even if you have never mountainbiked before! We will be gathering at 0900 sharp at Op Noord, where we will pick up bikes and helmets, and will be back by 1245. Warm sports clothes and gloves are advisable.

This year the Christmas Dinner will be slightly different than usual, but the show must go on. We will be doing a part online part offline dinner by dividing across different addresses in Eindhoven. Each group will get a different dish to prepare for everybody and then we will exchange food and enjoy a fun christmas dinner online (with extra secret activities). The Event will be the 18th of December and the deadline to register is the 4th. Let us know is you have a place in Eindhoven where you can cook and host a group of 2-3, any allergies or diet restrictions, if there is one other person you would like to be grouped with and which course you would most like to cook for everyone.

For this (for now) last orienteering event we will do something special. In the evening of the 3rd of December we will do an orienteering run during the night! We will gather at the shed at 19:00 and then bike for a bit to a nice forest. We will do this event in pairs, but you will both get a map so you can keep at a distance. Don't forget to bring a strong flashlight/head lamp!

Our yearly knotting course is coming up once again! If you want to learn how all those skilled All Terrainers are able to create sturdy constructions and obstacles with rope and knots, this is for you! November 23th and November 30th, we will give the course. It starts at 19.00 and ends at 22.30. It is important that you learn these knots, if you want to help set up trainings, so we would love it if you want to join :) The course will be from the comfort of your own home in the AT Discord. Our local experts Guy and Stijn are excited to teach you the ropes! Please subscribe so we know who to expect. The idea is that you join both knotting course time slots to get a complete course in knotting.  

Are you starting to get the hang of climbing in a rope, over beams and across the water? Maybe it is time you get in touch with a new way of getting higher up. Bouldering is climbing up climbing walls with no strings attached. This might seems dangerous but fortunately the walls are not that high and there is a big soft matrass underneath that will catch you if you fall. During bouldering you will notice that, although the walls aren’t long, the road up typically is a puzzle, making it a nice mix of physical and mental exercise. All Terrain wants to visit Monk Eindhoven on the 28^th of November in the timeslot of 19.00-21.00. If you want to join as well, please do two things:

1. sign up with app.toplogger.nu and go to the website or application to make a registration for “location Monk, Eindhoven, benedenverdieping, the 28^th of November, 19.00-21.00”
2. let us know you are coming to Monk by registering on this page so we can pair you up and spread the people entering

If this is your first time at Monk, we have an additional request to fill in this form beforehand. Estimated costs are 5 to 7 euro pp.   Clothing For bouldering you need climbing shoes. You can rent them at Monk for 4 euros a time. There are some climbers in AT so possibly you can borrow an old set from someone if you ask around. You want your shirt to allow free movement. Typically flexible pants that cover your knees are advised (like the lycra leggings of All Terrain or sweatpants), although the ‘flexible’ part is more important than the ‘knees’ part. For the brawearers among us, sportbras are not necessary, but crossed straps are advisable, to prevent them from slipping of your shoulder when you’re in unnatural positions with your arms. Since the changing rooms are closed, come dressed up (except your shoes). Also you have to bring flipflops to use the toilet. If you have a valid students card we kindly ask you to bring it along.   Corona measures Please be aware of the coronameasures taken by Monk: www.monk.nl/corona

More orienteering runs! This run is a special one, a 'rogaine': the goal is to reach the maximum number of checkpoints possible in a set amount of time, and it is unlikely you will reach them all, so a good strategy is necessary. Furthermore, checkpoints that are more difficult (further away, tricky navigation) to reach are worth more points. So this one is actually a competition to see who is the best map-reading (and running) All Terrainer! It will take an hour or two. Admittedly rogaining is usually a team sport, but in this case it be run individually so that it is corona-proof. If you are new to orienteering, we will help you out before you set off with your map, so don’t hesitate to register below! There is more information on this page about orienteering, and if you’re really keen, this is a great website to learn more.
