Heavy duty garden tending

Had to cut down the spruce hedge and this year not just a little bit. Did first try to use the tractor and the front loader, but it did not reach high enough, so down to Løken and rent a boom lift.

Not the best picture, but look closly and you will be able to see how much I did cut

5 days trip to Vestlandet

Last Wednesday we packed the car and headed for Vestlandet to visit family. First stop was at Norwegian Railway Museum where all of us had a lot of fun and we would really recommend for others to stop there as well.

Then we stopped for the night at Fossheim Hotell, where I enjoyed a bottle of “Heidrun – eit Fossheimøl”

Heidrun er navnet på ei geit i norrøn mytologi som beiter på taket av Valhall saman med hjorten Eiktyrne. Heidrun forsyner einherjarne i Valhall med mjød som renn frå juret hennar og ned i eit stort drikkekar.
– Einherjarne var dei som falt i kamp på jorda og kom til Åsgård etter døden.

Heidrun er og 4. generasjons drivar av Fossheim Hotell

Then the day after, on the ferry from Eidsdal to Linge.

Yesterday we headed home again, this time staying at Beitostølen. So what better than to stop at Lemonsjøen to stretch the legs.

This morning from the hotell window.

Running up to Slogen and down again, and the aftermath

Four days ago I headed out from Liasætra, heading for Patchelhytta, Slogen and then Øye. The weather was nice and so was the run/walk up to the top of Slogen. Took some pictures at the top, here towards Norangsdalen

And here Norangsfjorden

And then, 1 hour and 30 minutes from 1564 meters down to the sea at Øye. Had to be as fast as possible to be there on time and I did, but it came with a price. My thighs did hurt as h$#, and even now – four days after – I am having issues walking normally. My thighs are still very, very sore, actually I think this is the worst time ever when it comes to soreness…but, it was worth it and I will do it again…but on another top.
