On the way to wilderness - a bit of retrospection

It's about 3 weeks since I returned from the wilderness and I still feel privileged (and always will :)) Kim took me on such a trip. I always liked winters and mountains and best holidays through my childhood were in the Giant Mountains (well, Giant, the highest point there is Snezka with 1602 m (5260 ft)) in the Czech republic. Just we don't have such vast areas without civilization back home, so it was quite extraordinary to go 3 weeks while meeting 6 folks (and much more reideer).

Starting at Lindesnes (Kim on a bike, me with the car) after a night spent in the car (no idea, how Kim survived there with the wheel in his chest) we headed North through a lovely countryside of Lindesnes commune. Contrary to our last visit in the area when we wanted to ski there was snow now everywhere. We met on the way in Lyngdal - a place with a lovely musical cafe in the Kulturhaus - for hot chocolate.

Heading further North I even needed to use the snow chains (though I had winter tires) and as it was still quite a long way to Ljosland in the afternoon, we decided to stay for a night halfway and camped at the lake Lygna.

The next day Kim set off on the bike and I went for a bit of sightseeing - in fact looking for the help to start the car. There are nice people everywhere and I found them in the Sorlandets rehabilitation centre in Eiken. The rest of the way to Ljosland was without noticeable moments as I didn't end up in the Madland nearby.

The evening was dedicated to the repacking, eating and relaxation in the pleasant Fjellstove Ljosland.
