Nine out of ten

Then I went to Vetten...
The starting point was at this yellow house. I was literally dancing up this mountain! I love this beautiful island where I am living, there are so many wonderful spots and I have only seen a fraction yet. We also got a bonus peak called Finnkjerka on the way back. When I went down it started to rain. I had a cup of tea when I came down. Then Kristina and Hakon arrived and I talked to them a little bit. He was also working at the same hospital, that's funny. And they both climbed before but not any longer but she said she knew someone so I gave her my number and then we said goodbye and I cycled home those 30 km in the rain, but it was not so bad the rain was not so heavy and it was a good day!
On my way home I saw 2 mooses really close and that's interesting because friday on my way to work I also saw 4 mooses at the same time. I never seen so many at once and so close!
Moose message;
It's important to feel satisfied with the place in your life where you are right now. Only then you find yourself in the middle of the world and all you wish for will come to you.

Initially I had other plans for this weekend but due to really bad weather forecast I changed my mind. So today I went to Eltofttuva. That's 25 km from my home. Then I wanted to go to Himmeltindan which is covered in mist behind us at Eltofttuva and so I decided to save that beauty for another day. Instead I went 10 km further to Torvdalsvatnet...

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." / Mark Twain

Seven out of ten

Today I went to Sundsheia...actually I was here last friday as well. It was raining and I couldn't find that thing you use to make a mark in the card. So this time I took another path and ended up at the same place of course but now I found it! It was actually quite well hidden in a gap between two rocks so it was really hard to see.

Six out of ten

Yesterday I was lazy and spent time after work by sitting on the jetty drinking coffee with my neighbour in the sun. I also questioned him about his hike this weekend to Rago nationalpark (borders to Padjelanta) and if he was satisfied with his new Hilleberg tent. But today I went to Holandsmælen 434 m.

Four out of ten

Today I biked to Leknes, had a coffee and said hello to Janne before I went on to Justadtinden. I was supposed to met up with Gyda but somehow we missed each other and then met just below the summit of Justadtinden, 738 m! Then we went back down another path. And so I got to see inside the "gamme" (small house with grass outside) and it was quite cozy. It has everything you need, wood and stuff for cooking, you just need a sleeping bag. I wanna come back and stay over some day! It was quite wet and slippery the last part so at the end of this hike I was half covered in wet mud. But I had so much fun and that didn't matter at all!

Three out of ten

Today I had plans for Smørdalskammen but changed my mind and went to beautiful Hauklandsstranda instead. I met up there with Sten for a hike up to "Mannen" (The Man) 400 m. It was a lovely evening and then I biked home while the sky was getting darker and darker.
