Unexpected basecamp


 



 

 

 

 
Today we are going up Håen and following the ridge to Hornet. Due to changing weather forecast we decided to take down the camp and try to find a room for the night. The winds will increase tonight to 16 or more so I might feel a bit unsecure in my tent. (There was only one ferry today but this one goes directly to Bodø and doesn't stop in Moskenes.) But first we went up to Håen and followed the ridge to Hornet, then we went down and found some kind of camp in a small wood with rabbits that looked like they were tame? Maybe this is Alice's Wonderland? We would of course be sheltered here but decided to go to "Gamle Prestegården". It was like coming inside someones's home. We knocked on the kitchen door and she said there were no rooms available. There were three other places but all seemed to be fully booked except Værøy Brygge which was way too expensive anyway. Then I remembered that the waiting room was unlocked last time I was here. So we decided this would be our home for the night. The evening was amazing with the sun warming us as we sat outside in the harbour cooking dinner and drinking beer. We went for a short late night hike before we went to bed. Tomorrow we'll take the ferry back to Moskenes.

The next morning the winds were so strong it was hard to stand straight and keep your balance. We had breakfast indoors. We also called the ferry to make sure it wouldn't be canceled. We were lucky and got on the boat back home again.
