Sootkanalmarsjen for the first time

Today I did for the first time the “Sootkanalmarsjen” (Soot channel march) together with number #1 and #2, click here to see the GPS tracking at Sportstracker. First of all, the diploma earned – and to make things perfectly clear, not my 28’th time, but the 28’th year the march is arranged.

The kids looking at one of the sluices, I do believe it is sluice #14 Dines Soot

Time for a break, which they had deserved.

Things to look at

And the grand finale, a swim in Setten.

Flat start of the day

Walking by the Mondeo just to discover the rear wheel tire almost completely flat. Good thing that I have ordered four new tyres for Thursday. Hopefully I can refill it and it will last until I have driven the car to the service station.

No more cold feets

Finally did the last touch of my styrofoam project, ensuring warm feets when having “Nye Qodlibet” or when Åkerland have their band rehearsal. Styrofoam has now been glued to the ceiling in the cellar of the old outbuilding.

Exploring Aursmoen – "Hike orienteering" and Stolpejakta

Had some time alone yesterday evening and did spend a couple of hours at Aursmoen. First doing “hike orienteering” – turorientering and afterwards, while anyhow at Aursmoen – I did Stoplejakta as well. Not that much to report, but I did get to see Margaretakilden. Tried to read the information sign, but that was close to impossible, need some TLC for sure

And even if Margaretakilden is a water source, I did not dare drink from it…

Exploring Ørje – Fortrunden

#1 was playing soccer today at Ørje “G-Sport Cup Ørje 2017”, and I had to kill some time, so I went for a short run. I found “Fortrunden”.

At Hestehaugen, a viewpoint over Ørje. A small tower has been built there as well, climb up and see….Marker municipality which has 84% forest, so you see a lot of forest.

Søndre Blokkhus, a fortified firing position south of the Nordre Fort (The North Fortress)

View north, E18 towards Mysen and Rødnessjøen.
