Is anybody doing the Nijmegen Marches next week? (Apart from me). I was wondering what the music and beer drinking situation is.

There's nothing useful on the site in English. What's it all about?

It's 4 days of walking (marching) starting from and finishing in Nijmegen each day. Routes available are: 30km, 40km or 50km per day.

I did medical cover for them in 97 and it was great ifd you likle looking at sore feet. Good Beer realy nice people and a beautiful place. Take lots of Zinc oxide tape and ensure that you dry your feet everyday.
Ps Tincture of benzine REALLY HURTS

FYI, there are several posts about Nijmegen marches on Mudcat's Cadences or Marching Songs thread.

I've tried to link to specific posts. Hope it works!

Recollection about the Nijmegen marches 1

Canadian Nijmegen contingent

Canadian Nijmegen contingent chant 2

chant from British unit at the Nijmegen Marches 2004

Those posts were written by dermod in salisbury and Edmund {CET}.

There may be more examples of cadences on that thread and on other Mudcat threads about military chants or jodies.

That's an impressive amount of walking - our kids used to do the Avondvierdaagse in Amsterdam (4 evenings of 5 or 10 km for tiddlers) & I envied the Dutch delight in simple community activities like that. Have fun and good luck John!
