Got this one in the snailmail here the other day, prooving that I have found all posts for Turorientering 2016. I did not find all for Stolpejakta, I was to late – when out yesterday trying to find the last poles around Eksismoa – they where all taken away for this year. Better off next year.
I wanted to run from Hol I power plant, but it was a bit to steep, therefore I had to walk. The sportstracker app died twice on the way up, therefore “Start” at the top. Almost an hour up and down.
Basteheia Rundt today together with friends and family, nice weather, exhausting and fun. I really enjoy being able to run again after many years with legs not working.

Two days ago I had some spare time when me and the rest of my colleagues arrived in Fredrikstad, so I took a quick run. Could have been the last thing that I did, I must admit that I was not aware of all the wild animals – good thing they stood still so that I could take a picture of them
Found this stairs, since the steps was just really iron rods it was really hard to see where to set the foot down when walking (run) up and even worse down.
Last Saturday I attended Marlow Grand Prix – a race close to home, so I just had to get on the bike and in 15 minutes I was at the start. Fun, good training, as always I would wish that I could do it faster, but then I need to be better prepared – so I leave that for next year. What I also need to do before next year is to buy many pairs of new socks. I got caught by the style police – and if the style police have had the right to arrest without a warrant I would have been arrested for having to short socks. To my defence it was ok years ago, so I just said that I’m really so 2008’ish (believeing that it is still called Shimano LX, but I’m wrong it is called Shimano 540 … or something…)
Last Saturday Espen and I attended Nybakkrunden. Here mounting the bikes at the back of the car, all ready to go.
And here after the race. Espen had an accident, another biker simply crashed into him and he got some wounds but nothing seriously. But still, when he was down I did pass him, it was just about 1k after start. After a minute or two he came up to me, we talked, and then he put some more energy to it and … he was gone leaving me with my pride hurt. So now its time to start being a bit more targeted traning. I spent 10 minutes more than 4 years ago, so not happy at all.
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.
Two days ago Espen and I decided to take an evening run to Hærfangkjerka. Read a lot about it http://www.norsknatur.no/boker/romerike/harfang.htm and seen plenty of pictures. I even have tried to find it myself, but back then I had to little time before it got dark, so I gave up. But this time of the year no problem. About half an hour running from Skjatvet http://www.skjatvet.no/, then 10 minutes of climbing on slippery rocks with moss, but finally there
Instead of climbing back down again, it is possible to find your way through the cave, but we did not try it out this time.
Nice view.
Been there, done that, most likely I will return with my kids, but have to wait until they get a lot older. To dangerous for small kids to go there.
Last Friday I did map 1 of 4 from this years “Turorientering” – hike orientering (?) – in Aurskog Høland. It takes me places I for sure would not have gone otherwise, this time Tukuhøgda. Searching Google I find almost nothing about Tukuhøgda apart from weather reports and orienteering. But I what I did find was this article from 2012 about a couple out walking and meeting the wolf http://www.indre.no/lokale-nyheter/forfulgt-av-ulv/s/1-65-6142920 – so no doubt that turorientering is risky business.

Very nice weather today, first time “short/short” when biking. Headed to Tyrihjell and then up to Trollkjerka on the forest road.
A bit steep at the beginning, but still possible to ride the bike.
View south towards Hølands Varde.
Still easy to ride the bike
Almost at the top, single track, had to push the bike every now and then, but mostly it was possible to ride the bike.
Heading down from Trollkjerka, passing by Langvannet
Now down from Basteheia towards Fosser
Still Basteheia, very fun to ride the bike here. All dried up, very good conditions today.
