A short day to Sygard Grytting
2024年7月9日, ノルウェー ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
Today was a short day and at least until mid-morning, it looked like we might go around the headland along the low side. That was not to be. After sticking to some older roads for quite some time, theもっと詳しく
Getting off the track at Vinstra
2024年7月10日, ノルウェー ⋅ 🌧 11 °C
I managed to get lost for a little while getting out of Sygard Gryttingj. It added a couple of kms to my day and about a half hour while I sorted out where I actually was and whether I needed to comeもっと詳しく
What the ???
2024年7月11日, ノルウェー ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Interesting thing to come upon.
And I had a nice chat with the woman whose family has the summer houses here.
Halfway there
2024年7月11日, ノルウェー ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Leaving Vinstra was even more difficult than I thought it could be. In the end, it took about 2.6 kilometres of walking to get back to the Gudbrandsdalsleden path. But it was some climb. Just over 320もっと詳しく
Rounding the bend
2024年7月12日〜14日, ノルウェー ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
While the Gudbrandsdalslågen generally flows in a south-easterly direction, it meanders considerably around that. Around Kvam, it is generally flowing east, and by the time one gets to Otta, it'sもっと詳しく
Tidying up
2024年7月13日, ノルウェー ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
Just to let you know that I've been tidying up some of the entries I made today. Google voice typing isn't everything that it is cracked up to be, and I haven't been quick enough to correct all of theもっと詳しく
Jørundgard
2024年7月14日, ノルウェー ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Leaving Otta this morning was relatively simple. There were a few people in the town, but not many, as it was a Sunday morning. Getting back on the on the waymarked route was relatively simple. Afterもっと詳しく
Missing the train
2024年7月15日, ノルウェー ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
I think the hardest thing about today was that I was going to share the valley wall with the train. As you leave Nor Sel, the Gudbrandsdalslågen returns to flowing in a south-easterly direction afterもっと詳しく
Budsjord
2024年7月16日, ノルウェー ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Arriving at Budsjord was going to be relatively easy. It was going to be a bit of asphalt road, a little bit of forest, some more road leading down to the town of Dovre and then a climb up the valleyもっと詳しく
Flowers
2024年7月17日, ノルウェー ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
I was thinking today that there are very few of the images that I've been taking that are of flowers. I decided to remedy that as much as I could but taking some images of the lovely little uplandもっと詳しく
Starting to cross the Dovrefjell
2024年7月17日, ノルウェー ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
I knew today was going to have a tough start, but I didn't count on getting a little bit lost within the first kilometre or so. That didn't help my mood one bit. That said, the day improved, and whileもっと詳しく
Reaching Hageseter
2024年7月18日, ノルウェー ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
I suppose it was optimistic to walk in just a shirt when the previous day I had walked past several spots where snow was still lying on the ground in the sheltered places. But I did. And it wasn'tもっと詳しく
Hjerkinn to Kongsvoll
2024年7月19日, ノルウェー ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
I had stopped a little short of Hjerkinn last night, so the first part of the day was getting the last few kilometres done. I'd also wanted to visit the pilgrim centre there which meant arrivingもっと詳しく
Overnight in Oppdal
2024年7月19日, ノルウェー ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
I've been offered a space in a cabin by another Pilgrim when I got to up down. That was a great benefit to me as it was proving difficult to find a reasonably price place to stay without walking on aもっと詳しく
The riding school
2024年7月20日, ノルウェー ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
My overwhelming memory of the day is the amount of roadway involved. There was relatively little forest path or farm track to relieve the tedium of either the asphalt or the gris vei.
Somewhereもっと詳しく
Meslo Gård
2024年7月21日, ノルウェー ⋅ 🌬 24 °C
The day started on the gris vei and asphalt roads. Eventually, the track turned up into a forest path that was going to cross a ridge line and avoid the roads. At the end of that
were two paths. Oneもっと詳しく
101 km - Rennebu kirke
2024年7月22日, ノルウェー ⋅ 🌧 12 °C
I left Meslo gård in the rain, and it didn't really let up for the rest of the day.
I was heading to the church at Voll, one of a handful of 'Y' shaped churches in Norway. There are severalもっと詳しく
A nice herberge in Skogheim
2024年7月23日, ノルウェー ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
The place I had planned to stay at tonight was full by the time I was able to contact them, so I was feeling a little nervous until the person who owns/runs Skogheim herberge got back to me to say heもっと詳しく
Gumdal Gård
2024年7月24日, ノルウェー ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
Today was a short day, but somehow seemed quite tough walking, even though it didn't present any new or unusual challenges. Perhaps my memory of this section had sufficiently faded to make the toughもっと詳しく
Øysand Camping
2024年7月26日, ノルウェー ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
While I'm walking another km or so today, I'm taking the bus from near here to my off-route cabin.
Hans-Geog and Herman were here when I arrived, waiting for the reception to open, then Carmenもっと詳しく
Staying in a junkyard
2024年7月26日, ノルウェー ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
I was starting to worry about finding somewhere suitable to stay, but I shouldn't have worried. With the help of booking dot com, I found somewhere nightmare-ish instead.
It's done
2024年7月27日, ノルウェー ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
It's done! I have now completed my third long pilgrimage on one of the St Olavs Ways.
I had hoped to get my Olavsbrev without any fuss, but three long pilgrimages is apparently somewhat unusual, soもっと詳しく
... and now the concert program
2024年7月29日, ノルウェー ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
I am booked to attend three concerts before I leave for the UK. The first is Chris Holsten.

Swindon - this was not in the plan!
2024年8月6日, イングランド ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
I am enjoying (not) the vagaries of the British train service. It has been interesting trying to buy a ticket, find my way between the national rail and underground and back again, and now the havingもっと詳しく































































































































































Looks lovely, but narrow track and drop off's not for me, nor the road walking. You're going well.

Always the dilemma!
