Since 2003 our group of friends goes on hiking trips every 2 years. More often is difficult to arrange with all the other family plans, but it also keeps it a bit more special. Last year I found our trip especially magic. Exactly one year ago, we went to the region Møre og Romsdal, Norway.Will post pictures from that trip this week to relive this wonderful week.Day 1: We flew to Ålesund and from there we went to Valldal, where we stayed in a beautiful situated hotel.#Hiking #WeeklyHikingPicture #Norway #dTdT2022

Day 2: After traveling yesterday we started our first day of the actual trip on the water. Instead of hiking to the trailhead over asphalt roads, we kayaked from Valldal over the Unesco Tafjord. At the end of the afternoon we finally started walking towards Tafjordsætra, nothing more than a few sheds. From the fjord to the first real hut (Vakkerstøylen) would be too long for a dayhike, so therefore we chose to camp out there. First time we took our camping gear with us on a thruhike. Luckily we did not forget important stuff.The day has been hot, but it became chilly pretty quickly as soon as the sun started to set.#Hiking #WeeklyHikingPicture #Norway #dTdT2022

Day 3: We had a good night sleep and woke up in a very chilly morning. Today we had around 7 hours to hike (at least, according to all documentation). We were warned that those Norwegian estimates are really challenging. We would learn how true that was.The route we were hiking is not used a lot, so the trail was very difficult to find. We lost track several times. At 3pm we were only halfway. As we had all our gear with us, we could always camp, but that would also mean our planning would be done for. We kept going and at 11pm we finally reached Vakkerstøylen. We ate pasta till we dropped. Still one of the toughest hikes I ever did.#Hiking #WeeklyHikingPicture #Norway #dTdT2022

Day 4: After yesterday, we decided we needed to re-plan our route. The rest of the trails would be better maintained, but we wanted to reach certain points, so we needed to focus on those. We would leave out the highest point in our route (Karitinden), but therefore go to the especially rugged valley of the Danskehytta.We had breakfast outside and that was the firs time we saw the Vakkerstøylen hut in daylight. What a pretty one. We had to cross the lake by boat. At the pass to Pyttbua hut we came across the most clear lake you can image (nice cold drinking water). The descent to the hut made it a nice afternoon hike, so we could recover.#Hiking #WeeklyHikingPicture #Norway #dTdT2022

Day 5: A beautiful sunrise marked the start of another day in this amazing environment. Every time we spoke with Norwegians, they told us we were extremely lucky to have this kind of weather, because the summer of 2022 was particularly bad. Our trip in September basically fell in the only two weeks with good weather.From a tundra-like valley today we would hike into a more green valley. It was an easy and not too long hike. We showered under the waterfall near the Reindalseter hut, the flagship of huts in this area. Because we were out of the normal season, there were not many people there.Nice impression video:https://vimeo.com/361012062#Hiking #WeeklyHikingPicture #Norway #dTdT2022
