    Hiking in a Kilt

    Great pics, thanks. I often go hiking in my kilt in UK and it is the best garment by far, winter or summer, although not good at high altitude in winter.

    Great photos, thanks for posting.
    I really like the log buildings with the turf roofs

    What breed is Balder?

    You can see lots of these types of buildings in the countryside in Norway.

    Balder is a short haired german pointer. he's very strong and fast and weighs 30 kg.

    Ahh...I thought he looked like he had some pointer in him, but wasn't sure

    I use to have a dog that was mixed German Short hair Pointer & Husky. He wasn't pretty, and his name was "Izzy" because everyone always asked:
    "what is he?"

    New camping place.


    Balder wasn't very keen on crossing this brigde.


    Time for lunch, soup.


    You can see the famous "Besseggen" in the background.


    The backpack is getting very heavy now.



    More to come........

    I find myself here in 1500 meters above sea level. The mountain in the background are over 2300 meters.




    There's been a bridge once.


    I'm going down there......


    Although I smile here, I'm so tired, so tired. I have just a short kilometer left of my hiking trip.


    My muddy boots, but still dry inside.

    The end.
