On the way to Østnes, Norway

S:t Olavsleden 2026 Traveler
On the way to Østnes
July 20 in Norway ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
It's hot, dark, even with two big spoons of creamer, and it might not be the most bitter coffee I have ever had from a petrol station, but this is the first place to buy one while I have been walking since Duved, five days ago.

I'm an hour or so away from where I'll be staying tonight, and it's already the longest distance I have done on this trip.

After this, I'll be having a couple of shorter days around Verdal before heading to Trondheim on the S:t Olavsleden outer route.Read more
TravelerThe Coffee sounds dreadful. WE need to get some Aussie Barista training for Norwegian servos. I do recommend a portable electric espresso maker for your next trip. Unfortunately I cant go a day without reasonable coffee

TravelerI might have to be in the baggage train! Although I did walk 100m today ( in a harness), so getting some capacity back. But I now also have 2 clots in my left leg to deal with. Ultrea, Doug!
