The weather has improved enough for us to continue northward and our next destination is Skorovatn. Skorovatn is an old mining town, just like Knaben, that we visited earlier this year (Read the blog post here). The mine was active from 1952 until 1984. In the earlier years the extraction of pyrite was the main … Continue reading Another mining town
We have been stuck in Nordli for well over a week now, waiting for the weather to change. But no worries, we have plenty of time and it's also nice to relax a little. We have no shortage of things to do anyway. We are updating our blogs, hunting, hiking and making awesome food. Today … Continue reading Making Bounty
The winter has really kicked in the last couple of days, and we have decided to extend our stay in Nordli until the weather changes. Here in the lowlands there is not much snow, but over the mountain passes there is now a fair bit of snow. It is too early to start using our … Continue reading Winter has come
After crossing Blåfjella-Skjækerfjella National Park, we have come to a place called Nordli. Here we have rented a small cabin from a very nice family. We are going go stay here for a few days and charge our batteries a bit, before we continue. When we arrived at our cabin, we were greeted by fresh … Continue reading Norwegian hospitality
We have now nearly crossed Blåfjella–Skjækerfjella National Park and we are so lucky with the weather, only one day of really bad weather for the last week. For the most part we have had sunny blue skies and nice temperatures. We can feel the onset of winter, cause every day after sunset the temperature goes … Continue reading Land of the sami people
Finally, after many weeks we can try some hunting! Jon Vegar (friend of Anders) is joining us for a few days of hunting. We are using a DNT cabin as base while we go hunting around the terrain. Both Jan and Anders have never hunted before but they both got lucky and got to shot … Continue reading Hunting our own dinner
We are well within Blåfjella–Skjækerfjella National Park and today we arrived at a bog in the middle of nowhere. This is not any old bog, in this bog you will find the geographical center of Norway. Not the most spectacular place, but it is yet another milestone achievement for us!
It’s been many months since we really made any progress northwards, but now we are walking straight north and making good progress. The weather is relatively good and we can’t complain much since it’s late autumn and things could be much worse. The winter showed itself for a day or two, but the snow disappeared … Continue reading Going north
The day has been perfect and we are finally back in camp after reaching the Swedish border. We are staying in the camp at the base of Stor Sylen for one more night before we start heading north. As a fitting conclusion to this milestone achievement, the aurora showed itself to us for the first time … Continue reading Aurora
Today we officially got to the Swedish border and therefore we have now crossed the width of Norway. This final step maybe sound easy, but the border is situated on the top of a mountain called Stor Sylen. It is a steep 3 hours hike to get to the top, but the view is well … Continue reading Officially crossed the width of Norway
