One out of ten

I woke up early and I saw the sun rising on my way up. At 5.45 am I was at Stamsundheia to write in the summitbook. This was my first "10 på topp" in Vestvågøy! (That's 10 summits in my municipality and they are not so high and quite easy accessible to suit most people. It's more like a fun thing to inspire people to get out more). There was a tent up here but they were still sleeping. Even the sheep were sleeping when I passed them! Up there was a ridge that continued to other peaks so I suddenly had an uncontrollable desire to follow this airy walk by the ridge. When I came back two hours later they were awake (!) and it was two french guys wearing the same knitted hat with a norwegian flag. That looked rather funny. Anyway I spoke to them and then went down and packed my things together. I found a small shop (Joker - open on a sunday that's not common in Norway!) and they had freshly baked bread. I wanted to buy some coffee but it was free so that made me happy. Weather was great and I had a fantastic ride back home to Ballstadøya where I put up my tent for drying outside on the jetty.
