Day 8 - Ljosland to Pytten barn
Faced with a wide open stretch between two lakes we decided our best option to get past was on the left hand bank. It really wasn’t!
Day 8 - Pushing on
A very brief note to say that we have decided to push on today despite the weather.
Day 7 - Bugger!
Having packed our bags very carefully last night in readiness for an early start today I woke at 6am. Raring to go.
Day 4 - Marnardal to…
We foolishly weighed our rucksacks at Ewen’s place. Mine is the heaviest (I am not happy about this) at 13.5kg. It feels a LOT heavier.
Day 2 - Vigeland to Marnardal
It had snowed in the night, then rained, then froze. The roads and pavements were like one big skating rink.
Day 1 - Lindesnes Fyr to Vigeland
The first 4 days of this trip are by road. As you can see, there is no snow and the summer route over the hills this one big big/marsh. So, 27km on tarmac it is.
Packing 200kg of re supplies is not exciting
Fortunately it seems that a modicum of linguistic capability is not a requirement for a short term Norwegian residents permit.
And so it begins
…while I patted myself down, searched every pocket and rifled through my rucksack for about the 4th time David simply disowned me and wandered off.
