Leaving Lillehammer

Leaving Lillehammer is not all that complicated, although I did manage to mess up some of the first part of the route. After I was on the main road out of the city, things got much simpler. Closer to the city centre, houses were close together and fronted the street. Further out larger blocks appeared with houses set back from the street and lawns or gardens starting to emerge.

At Fåberg, there is a detour in place that takes the route along a long section of asphalt road. Quite by accident, I happened to get a little lost and followed the traditional route for several kilometres. Eventually, there are directions back to the detour, and one joins the asphalt once more. The best that could be said about this long, boring stretch is that there is an interesting view of a construction site of a major piece of highway. Of course, if that is of no interest, it is just painful.

After that the root goes uphill and follows rural roads and Forest tracks for a fair distance. Only at the end does it emerge back onto the asphalt for the final stretches into Nermo, and the road down to Hafjell, near where I am staying tonight.Read more
