    Going for a walk

    No I'm not walking Norway from end to end but something a little less ambitious.

    Tommorow Sten Rune and I will be walking the annual Holtefjelmarsjen.

    Here's a picture of us last year


    All the Best.....David.

    David,

    What is the monument for at the bottom right of the picture? I see the ribbons with the colours of the Norwegian flag -- is this some sort of memorial to the Norwegian resistance during WWII?

    And what does Holtefjelmarsjen mean?

    Cheers,

    Todd
