After a very short review of the map my conclusion was that running Flyktningeruta – the refugee route – from home to Sweden should take about 4 hours…a rough gestimate. I need to do better next time…I did spend almost 7 hours on the 46 kilometers from home to Sukkerveien just across the Swedish border. During that time I had stopped and asked for refill of water, the weather was nice and very warm, so all my water was long gone after just 20 kilometres. After about 4 hours I had a mental breakdown, but a quick stop eating chocolate and drinking Coca Cola was just what I needed to go all the way to where I had agreed that Elin should pick me up. Needless to say I went to bed early and stayed there to almost half past eleven today…
Here crossing the border to Sweden after about 6 hours and 30 minutes. Imagine me finding it hard, then think about those who was forced to do the walk in the shelter of darkness during WW2, maybe it was winter and they also had to carry as much as they could manage.
Last year I did replace the rubber gaskets for on the backhoe, then realized that the sylinder on one of the stabilizers had to be fixed. Got help from a friend who knows how to do such, the result was prima!
Mounted and ready for work
…but must admit that I already have realized that I need to replace the rubber gaskets on the other stabilizer as well.
