A month gone

As the computer access facilities are getter more and more sparse as we are heading up North and into the mountains just a quick overview of our activities recently since our last update from Bergen. We are in Aurland at the moment just north of Flåm.

We have spent a week walking from hut to hut in the Hadrangervida which was hard work as there was still loads of snow on the ground , we walked in the snow for about three days and got very wet on the first day wading through a river trying to reach (and we did) one of the huts. We then cycled on from Kinsarvik towards Haugastol which is the start of the famous Rallarvegen cycle path that follow part of the mountain section of the Oslo to Bergen railway. Again snow made things quite difficult we ended up pushing the bikes through the snow for about 5 kilometers but finally after 28 km (18 miles) reached the station of Finse at 1222 meter, due to the conditions i.e. snow and freezing fog we decided to skip the next section cycling and take the train to Myrdal. From Myrdal we very steeply descended towards Flåm through a wonderful lush mountain valley beside a rushing stream flanked by waterfalls on both sides. We are now heading up again towards the Jotunheimenmountains.
