Cellular connection is not something you find so easy when going on a trip like ours, but it's really nice to be offline for most ofte time.

If anyone wants to see our progress, we have a map that we regularly update with our route and where our camps have been. Click here to go to the map.

Living outdoors for long periods makes one appreciate a good 3 course dinner with first class wine. Having the possibility to visit the sauna and also take a hot outdoor bath is just icing on the cake.

After 3 weeks (just as planed) we arrived at Haukeliseter in beautiful sunshine. The last couple of days has not been as nice as this, far from it. We have been battling 25-30 m/s winds and snow surfaces that goes from soft and wet to stone hard ice. But it is a fun and challenging … Continue reading Arrived at Haukeliseter

We thought this was a bit fun, so we got the cameras and wind speed sensor out to document the … Continue reading Passing 1000 meters

But today we awoke to … Continue reading Meeting Europe’s most southerly reindeer population

The last days have been truly amazing, blue skies and almost 30 degrees’ in the sun. Not only that, we got a tip about an old VW Bus that is “parked” up on a mountain slope. A fun and strange sight to find this thing up on a God forsaken mountain, 24 km from the … Continue reading Going back to the 60’s
