This being Geirangerfjord, boat ride is a little (slight understatement) scenic, & being Norway is a little overcast!
Wednesday 5 August 2015
Today we aim to hike from the bottom of an almost sheer cliff up & over it home. Only way to the start is by boat! 
Tuesday 4 August 2015
Norway is full of extremes & vehicle-wise doesn't get much more so than this Unicat TerraCross that just rocked up!
Tuesday 4 August 2015
New camera, hurrah! 
Test of when 180° isn't wide enough: stitch of 2 fisheye shots at our spot by Geirangerfjord.
Monday 3 August 2015
Rest of the hike up to Vesterasfjellet lookout. Nice easy walk & well worth it. Someone enjoyed walking with goats 
Monday 3 August 2015
Start of short hike up to Vesterasfjellet. We had to go by the 'waterfall steps' again. Much better with sunshine
Monday 3 August 2015
Tide was out when we got up this morning so here's the 'beach' again Taken from directly in front of our van
Sunday 2 August 2015
This happens when the tide goes waaaaay out: our fjord view becomes a (kind of rough) beach view Cheers Norway!
Saturday 1 August 2015
Cruising the fjords. Impossibly beautiful & absolutely brutal gradients - especially when you do repeats! Love it!
Saturday 1 August 2015
When I said before that we were parked on the shore. I mean... right on the edge. Perfect location!
Friday 31 July 2015
Short walk up the 'waterfall steps' & to the little church in Geiranger. Nice view, but it's better from higher up
Thursday 30 July 2015
The way 'we' live is responsible for many tragedies. Don't go crazy over a single story that big media sells. Make a lasting change instead.
Wednesday 29 July 2015
Rode from fjord 1,500m up to Dalsnibba, where on a clear day should be able to see the start. Not today, too misty 
Tuesday 28 July 2015
Sunset over Geirangerfjord. Well... it's still only dusk really. At 10:30pm!
Tuesday 28 July 2015
Geiranger from the fjord. When the tide is out you can walk down there We're parked on the shore centre frame.
Tuesday 28 July 2015
Today's bruch: Norwegian bread, German cheese, French jam, Norwegian view. Just enjoying the simple things in life
Tuesday 28 July 2015
Recall my DSLR died? New one shipping here so must wait by this fjord all week & make do with phone camera. Sigh!
Monday 27 July 2015
So lucky usually, not today. DSLR shutter died ('only' 50k shots old) & dropped laptop. Should still be thankful tho, laptop survived. Phew!
Monday 27 July 2015
Waiting for the Linge-Eidsdal ferry. Sydney folk will notice it's just like up at Wisemans
Monday 27 July 2015
Strawberry season in Norway. I'm not usually a fan but we bought some on the side of the road & wow! Soooooo good! 
Monday 27 July 2015
This is Gudbrandsjuvet. One of many tiny 'gorges' at the roadside. Not that spectacular, but good excuse for a stop.
Monday 27 July 2015
Random pictures from the Norwegian road. This is the '63' heading South from Trollstigen. Lovely.
Monday 27 July 2015
Is a short walk to lookout above Trollstigen. Even on a grey day absolutely worth it. Bonus rainbow feature today
Monday 27 July 2015
Time to leave Andalsnes area & head South. Which means a drive up Trollstigen. Not as much fun as riding it though
Sunday 26 July 2015
Today's ride: Trollstigen. Riding a HC climb the day after hiking 8 hours on 'challenging' terrain: Ouch!
Saturday 25 July 2015
Romsdalseggen hike today. Epic beyond words! Lucky I took literally 100s of pics. Will be up in due course. Now food & maybe cheeky beer
Saturday 25 July 2015
Not really best way to finish an all day hike: slippery roots galore on a very steep slope! Still an epic day though!
Saturday 25 July 2015
This is Viewpoint Rampestreken. Rather spectacular... to anyone not spoilt by hiking here over Romsdalseggen ridge
Saturday 25 July 2015
Pratiwi negotiating part of the, "It's not dangerous, honest!" section. To be fair, it's not as bad as it looks
Saturday 25 July 2015
Almost at Andalsnes? Erm, not yet! The hike is longer than you'd think! Run out of superlatives to describe the view!
Saturday 25 July 2015
End of 'tricky' stuff? Was a trail register to sign off here, but plenty of scope to fall off cliffs still ahead!
Saturday 25 July 2015
A look back at where we came from... and on to where we're going. Still a lot of hiking left in the day!
Saturday 25 July 2015
Another look to the Rauma Valley side. We had to put up with variations on this view practically all day. Tough!
Saturday 25 July 2015
Approaching one of the peaks on Romsdalseggen ridge. Forgot to take a shot of the sign & don't recall which one. Doh!
Saturday 25 July 2015
This is the view North-east-ish from Romsdalseggen ridge. Pretty, but nothing compared to the Rauma valley side.
Saturday 25 July 2015
Ridge was maybe 1m wide here. So mid-stride look straight down through fisheye lens. Just sharing the experience!
Saturday 25 July 2015
Hiking along rather slim ridge with the aid of chains. I enjoyed this but someone else said it was scary. Pfft
Saturday 25 July 2015
After that initial disappointment earlier, mist cleared to reveal the Rauma Valley below. Just wow!
Saturday 25 July 2015
Looking along Romsdalseggen ridge. Dots of other hikers maybe just visible on the edge. This is where we're heading.
Saturday 25 July 2015
On the Romsdalseggen ridge. All smiles now the mist has cleared
Saturday 25 July 2015
Arriving on the ridge, we were greeted with mist rolling up from the valley. So much for that view I thought...
Saturday 25 July 2015
First part of the Romsdalseggen hike: climbing up to the ridge. Lots of snow at the top but still arrived sweaty!
Saturday 25 July 2015
Romsdalsfjord looking spectacular this morning! Will hike Romsdalseggen ridge (in centre) today. Hope weather holds!
Friday 24 July 2015
@vincenzonibali thing is, if you are going to bullshit about this, people who believed you on other stuff are going to think again #NotCool
Friday 24 July 2015
Views from the campsite we're at. This is still Langfjorden from Mittet. Haven't found a good reason to move yet
Thursday 23 July 2015
Post ride refreshments: Fresh baguette, couple of cheeses & Leffe. Le Tour will be on the TV momentarily. #Perfect
Thursday 23 July 2015
Back from chilly ride. Nice hot shower. Baguette straight from oven. Blue cheese & brie. Leffe. #TdF on the TV. What more could you want?
Tuesday 21 July 2015
Told you I'd get a chance to try the new gear. Just back from few hours walking in the rain. Dry as a bone. Love it!
Tuesday 21 July 2015
Short(ish) hike up the hill (Milthaugen I think) behind campsite. Bit misty and wet at the top! Still fun though
Tuesday 21 July 2015
... the next morning. Ahhhh...ha! So yes, our spot next to the beautiful Langfjorden in sunshine!
