| no partners | | Went for a nice hike on Kongeveien, translated as The Royal Road. The trail follows a historic old trail that was used by the mail service between 1790 and 1832. Most of the hike is deep in the thick birch and fir forest, but it occasionally crosses a modern dirt road, and passes by some farms and cabins.
I was going to make some kind of loop out of this hike, but when I got to the far end of it, the skies opened up and rain began to fall fiercely. Instead of exploring new trails without a good map and not exactly sure where I would end up, I decided to head back exactly the way I came. The rain had soaked the plentiful grasses along the trail, and despite my waterproof footwear, my feet ended up getting soaked.
I had a rain jacket and hat, but not pants, so my lower body was pretty wet by the time I got back to the trailhead, which is also about the time it stopped raining. So it goes in southern Norway. |
