    Holte Fjell Marsjen 08

    As many here know . Sten Rune and I do an annual march though the hills near our home (Kilted).

    This is to Commemorate the brave men and women that fought here during WWII

    The walk takes us from 200 mtres to around 700 in the course of the 2 hour trek. When we reach the ceremony there is a remembrance service and then a 2 hour trek down again. The veterans are flown in by helicopter

    Sten Rune has added some shots from the day.
    The lady I'm talking with is Helen. She is a Norwegian who did all her trainning in Scotland (Around Dumfries) and was sent to Norway as an agent during the war. Facinating lady with lots to tell
