Krokkleiva

All you get for the moment is a screenshot of the walking track details and a couple of photos. The view from the hotel dining room is across the fjord at Sundvollen to the farmland I will be walking through tomorrow.

Getting away from my overnight stay was relatively simple. There was a short section of road that I'd walked up yesterday before turning, I think roughly to the Northwest. At this point the road stopped and I was on a steep uphill trail covered in rocks, roots and mud. It's so reminded me a previous walks I have done here in Norway and in Sweden. Most of the morning was walking on these trails and the occasional gravel road.

The walk in the morning was full of bird song and the occasional sight of small birds along the path near houses. The only other wildlife sighting was a small snake, about 40 centimetres long, that saw me before I saw it, thankfully, and was wriggling off the path before I even got a glimpse of it.

There might have been some other wildlife around towards the end of the day because there was a small amount of gunfire off to one side. Although I did contemplate that they might have been target shooting rather than hunting.

This hotel has the most magnificent views over the valley and the area over which I will be walking tomorrow.iRead more
