== Trans-Siberia Turf train adventure==

Turfer [[User: allinug |allinug]] from [[Uppsala ]] is a daring old lady who booked a trip with the Trans-Siberian railroad over New Year's. I asked her to contribute with some stories from her trip and a few pictures. Here is her story:

Other zones were more easily captured, some even from inside the train. The train schedules are detailed and kept to the minute. I printed them out when I bought the tickets (directly on the Russian train company's website) and then it has been easy to plan my "excursions" on the slippery platforms. At the same time, it is interesting to study the beautiful station houses and the interesting railway routines: the locomotive is sometimes changed, new carriages are switched on, the ”provdonitskan/ -niken” (carriage host) steps off and chops ice from the chassis ([[Zone: Yekaterinburg|Yekaterinburg]]) before checking passports and tickets. Then, new coal is poured under the samovar in the carriage to keep us passengers warm with fresh tea. [[File: Image missing.png|none|400px|thumb|The picture is missing, feel free to upload it if you have it]]

When I return to Moscow, neutral zones await, some within walking distance of my accommodation. Most of them are of course located at places that I would nevertheless visit, eg. the so well-known, fabulous Vasily Church at Red Square ([[Zone: VasilyChurch|VasilyChurch]]). It became a bit difficult to take, as the area was suddenly blocked off and a more or less strict police guard was located at the barriers. However, a friendly guy let me through once - without having to explain everything about Turf, as sometimes is the case.

== Turf Region Battle== [[Region: Dalarna|Dalarna ]] was battling with [[region ]] [[Region: Örebro |Örebro]] during December [[2019 ]] and the winning team of 29 Dala-turfers was spear-headed by [[User: MaXi|MaXi]], this rounds [[Silver medalistmedal]]ist. I asked him for a few words about the battle:

== [[Diverse]], [[Diversier]], [[Diversiest]] ==New [[medals ]] were released on the 8th 8^th of December, the [[Medals#Divers|Diverse-series ]] where a turfer has to collect [[Zone#Round_unique_zone|round unique zones]].

The medal was a result of a vote among the Turf community earlier during 2019[[File: Image missing. png|none|400px|thumb|The first weekpicture is missing, the Diverse-medal was awarded feel free to turfers all over the map. To date only 8 turfers upload it if you have been awarded the highest level, Diversiest. MaXi from Dalarna was the first turfer to visit enough round unique zones for this medal, he wants to thank OdKing and BigBang for help with both guiding him to new zones and getting a ride with his bike when no more unique zones could be found at home. Personally for me, the two higher medals will be Turf goals for the warmer and lighter parts of the Turf year. For now I am happy with the Diverse-medal :)it]]
