It is a cold morning as I start to climb. It is just
Norway’s second highest pass. After a few mile I can shed the rain gear and
fleece jacket. Cool winds helps a
little. At the top is a false summit and
5 more miles to go. There I pile on the
layers again. This helps with the long
cool decent, but I still need to stop to warm to warm myself. The tailwind takes a turn to a strong
headwind from the north. My thermometer
shows temp dropping as I drop in altitude.
At 40 miles the sun comes out and I camp in that little warmth of 38
degrees. After a quick meal sleep over
takes me. A few flakes overnight.
