Nice :-) I liked the first map better :-) And I love hikes ... although I'm doing far too few of them nowadays due to the boat. A hike nowadays is usually a short walk around a small island or something like that.
I used to do lots of hiking in the mountains when I was younger. My longest trip was also a 10 days trip in the border area between Finland, Norway and Sweden, and then we had to carry all our food with us. The last day we had to go for a long detour due to a bridge that was taken by the flood, we got lost and eventually we had to fix some makeshift shed ("gapahuk"), it didn't really protect us against the rain so we were wet all the way through in the morning.
Ah, all those stories. Perhaps the "worst" one was a very ad-hoc weekend hike I did with my wife, without proper clothes nor food (we were trying to hich hike to Bergen, but got a bit side tracked), but that story is probably worth a full post :-)
You've probably met Jaroslaw (JJ), he did a similar 10 days hike in Poland in the autumn. I joined him for a weekend "prewalk" in the Bieszczady national park (a small strip of Polish land between Slovakia and Ukraine). It was a bit spooky as there were lots of border guards in the area, and I had forgotten my passport in Oslo (and even more spooky to return to Oslo by plane, by now they check the passport of every traveler, even intra-Schengen travellers) :-)
Jaro was proud of his packing (and I was impressed), his ruck sack was looking like if he was heading for a quick day trip, not for a ten days hike. Then again, he for sure can afford buying food on the go.
I also had an aborted trip to Bergen some weeks ago, jumped off the train at Myrdal, ran down into the Flåms valley and returned and climbed back up again to catch my return train. Myrdal is such a spectacular train station ... no car roads, just a train station in the mountains with fresh air and a trunk line meeting the main line. Three train tunnels meeting at the train station, and spectacular view. I have quite some photos of that trip, should probably make a separate post on that too :-)
While I don't subscribe to you beliefs on the 5G and vaccines, I strongly believe a hike in the mountains and forests through fresh air is really good both for the mental and physical health!
Hi mate! Sorry about this very late reply, just settled for a bit now and have electric to use 😀 ofcourse I remember jaro! Hahaahh you both look like some drowned rats in that photo hahahah
