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.
Here’s to a good night’s sleep
The following video shows the sleeping kit I will be carrying on our 4 month Norway ski trip, the Norge på Langs.
Overcoming Barriers
A brief update explaining how the pack of cards nearly came tumbling down around our ears.
The ups and downs of piling on the pounds
I need to put on weight. I don’t have a great deal of spare body fat at the best of times and, as usual, lost a bit of weight on our recent trip to Europe (I blame Mrs P’s boot camp).
