Trolltind

I woke up and thought it was morning, the sky was so clear but it was only 2 am. For a moment I thought about getting up right away since the weather was so good but then I tried to sleep some more. I also woke up at 4 am...probably I'm still not used to this midnight sun. But at 6 am I left my tent and went up. There were some kind of gathering with samis and probably a hundred reindeers collected up on the mountain. Something was going on but I'm not sure what? Anyway I continued since I was afraid it was gonna be some kind of slaughter. It started raining again first just a little and then very persistent. I thought I would take breakfast on the way up but I wasn't so keen on stopping now so I just took a really quick sandwich because the rain and wind was getting harder the higher I came. But still I continued. Summited at 8 am and took one picture of Moomin, afraid he would blow away! I didn't stay long because there really was no view. I went down and there was not a trace from neither samis nor reindeers, just a little smoke from one of the lavvus. I took down the soaked tent and packed my stuff. Rolled down the mountain and left Akkarvik, heading back to Laukvikskaret where the ferry leaves for Storstein. Then I met Dag-Finn who heard about me (rumours all over Skjervøy) and he said I could come with them for a hike up Kågtinden coming weekend if the weather was good. After a while I stopped for breakfast / lunch because now I was really hungry. Had a break at a nice waterfall because I had lots of time until the 4 pm ferry. When I got back home to Skjervøy, I hung up the tent to dry on the veranda.
