Left early in the morning hiking under dark skies. The weather forecast had promised rain, but the amount varied. In the end it was more than promised.
The first few hours went by with just a little drizzle now and then. It was also quite warm which makes it sweaty job hiking with the rain gear on.
Towards noon it started raining more and more. I stopped for a lunch break at the old Munkeby monastery ruins. There was no kind of shelter available, just bathrooms which I used as a partial shelter to avoid rain. At the ruins I also made the decision to go to the outer route, or a coastal route which will end to the island of Tautra. I've already arranged a boat for me for Monday to take me to Trondheim.
As I continued my hike from the ruins within a kilometer there were three nice shelters where I could have had my lunch break instead of a bathroom, but these were not marked down to my map.
I reached Levanger around 2 pm. Such a lovely looking town. Unfortunately all the cabins in the camping area were reserved so I had to set up my tent in the heavy rain. But I got to change dry and warm clothes in the shower and now spend the evening in the service building with a Swiss couple and a German guy on bicycles, who are also sleeping in a tent. They call me an athlete for walking so much, but I think they are for cycling here. 😄Læs mere
