• Day 13 Horseidstranda to Ramberg

    July 25, 2024 in Norway ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Day 13/25th of July. Horseidstranda to Ramberg. 21 km. Start 1240 to arrive 2100.
    Maybe it was because it was day 13? Anyway the day was a bit of a long slog with strong headwinds (7+ m/s) hampering our progress.
    We sat an all time record for this team in slow paddling.
    After four hours we made the first landing of the day on some boulders. A bit wettish but otherwise ok for a much needed break.
    After the break we changed direction and made good progress the last 8 km.
    First stop at Ramberg was “Bunnpris”, local franchise of a Norwegian grocery chain.
    Quite busy. We half joked that it might be the busiest Bunnpris in Norway. Turned out that was no joke: in the midst of the tourist season the store was regularly on the top three in terms of turnover!
    After resupply we just paddled back a short distance to a small islet just outside Ramberg where we found a nice small beach with some grass behind for the tents.
    A short but hard day ended with (almost) midnight sun for dinner
