Friday I left work an hour earlier since Merete was picking me up to go to Svolvær. But this afternoon the wind increased a lot and so the bridge over Gimsøystraumen was closed. Wind was between 29-32 km / hour. We waited almost 1,5 hours in the looooong line of cars. Then she decided that we will just drive or we would miss the course. And so we did. Luckily it all went well. But I think just after we passed a car with a caravan did the same and almost blew over the bridge into the sea. So we arrived late and Olga was obviously behind us (we didn't know then) but she waited longer and then went to some friends in Leknes. Saturday we had quite an early start with breakfast and packing. We were divided in 2 teams and went two different ways, but to reach the same goal. Today we were to practise orientation skills with map and compass (mine are lousy or non existent since we hardly ever use that where I live, as long as it's not fog I find my way by the peaks). We had one stretch each and took turns to be leader. The rain was pouring down and didn't really stop, in addition we had a lot of wind today as well. In the end we could hardly stay straight. But finally our team arrived at Nøkksætra before the others. We were all soaking wet. Imagine 14 people in the cabin and all those wet things hanging all over...
