HADDEBY TOUR - SUMMERY
The map said that the tour round the HADDEBYER NOOR and the SELKER NOOR would take approximately 3.5h, but obviously without carrying heavy load. It took me 3 hours and 20 minutes, with a load of 17 kilos, and a 30 min lunch break. So I think that’s okay.
The lessons learned are: it’s good to buy the boots early before a planned trip. By doing the first hikes last year I had problems with them, now they are pretty smooth.
The rain trousers and cagoule work out fine.
Looking forward to JOTUNHEIMEN the thing I’m still worried about is the fitness level. Here on flat ground everything seems to be fine. But how about the altitude and the difference in altitude we have to go for. We’ll see, so far I’m enjoying the trip more than ever.
By the way it’s definitely worth hiking the tour I had done today. In ancient times, HADDEBY was populated by Vikings and there are actually a lot of traces to be found. There are runes, defense walls, a museum with huge viking ships and a rebuilt viking settlement.

DONE!
I'm done. I took the photo close to the end by standing on a defense wall built by the ancient vikings. A tour summar will follow.
NEARLY HALF THE WAY
The jogging shows effect. My fitness is much better than last year. The weight isn't a problem so far and it was good to already have boots that are run in. So everything is fine.
NORWAY - PREPARATION
It's time now to prepare ourselfs for the Jotunheimen trip. And because I'd like to test snow conditions, today is perfect. So here I am, 17 kilos on my back and 11km to go. Lovely!

STARS?!
...see the shadow on the picture? The sun is out. And if there is a clear day, a clear night might follow. So there is a chance to test my prepared cam tonight and get some shots from the moon.

SNOW PREVENTION
I don’t like the idea of not being able to ride my RC car in the winter just because we have snow. So the easiest way to cover the car of snow and water is to just protect it by using wrapping film. And I guess it’s also the cheapest way to do that.
