@neph93:

After that we spent a couple of days alone at the cabin…weather was crap but we had good friends and decent clothing so we didn’t care.

The first day started with the ritual clearing of sheep shit from around the cabin (with the occasional cow pat thrown in). The pastures are still used as such and there is a heard of cattle and a a lot of sheep roaming free. I think I removed about 30 individual stools.

It is still charming to have the animals around though..

keeping the pasture green @neph93 
Beautiful country.

@neph93:

@twin  I though your twin may be able to she’s some light on this. @Giles had told me about his knowledge of geology. Please thank your brother for shedding some light on this.

Yes @neph93 I did.

Just to be clear, the jacket is getting worn, although this pic was taken at 1:30am and I may have been a little squiffy.

That Liverpool squiffiness… You look like you're ready to hit someone over the head with a billiards cue...

Awesome Scenery, I fancy a road trip!

Holy Crap that's a lotta Crap @neph93  " I think I removed about 30 individual stools. "
Those cattle and sheep are like machines over there.

From the great pix, it looks like a magical place.
Keep em coming

On our last day visiting Hot Ingrid’s family I went out on a fishing trip on the fjord. It was great fun. There was a lot of life on and in the water with porpoise swimming around us, chasing herring. We fished off a holm at the mouth of the fjord and did well for mackerel and pollock, to the point when we started putting the back as we had enough to eat…

UHR and IHxViberg for the trip

I took filets from my share, covered them in flour, salt and pepper and fried them in butter for some supper.

Washed down with a tasty porter.

Took a little nighttime stroll after packing for the trip home…

[neph93]

The last couple of days we’ve been driving the return leg. 800km done, 200km to go today.

Yesterday we stopped at this spot, which some of you may remember from the southbound trip. Got some great reflection shots of the lake:

Fresh Mackerel is one of life's great simple pleasures imo.

[Aetas]

Love the nighttime stroll!

@organisys:

Absolutely. About this time of the year I like to take some kindling and foil to a beach about 30 mins drive from me. By that time the mackerel have made it this far north and if you catch one, you’ll catch five. I gut them, stuff them with lime or lemon, wrap them in foil and bake them in the coal of a quickly made fire. Brilliant.

Superb shots @neph93 . Thanks

[Cole]

What a great leg of the tour. Lovely shots, Reuben.

Thanks gents… just read over my posts, and it was a fine holiday. Nice to have it documented.

I have a couple of weeks off still before work begins. There will be bread baking, fishing and some household maintenance in store.

So much fun in this thread    This jacket had truly lived.

Ok gents… time to get this show on the road again. The Scandinavian summer has turned to autumn sp it must be cooling down other places too. Who's up?

There’s a list somewhere (I really should make an effort to find it [emoji1]), but the point was that it would do the autumn in Europe. Sie
Germans had it in summer last year and it barely got worn. A stop in Austria sounds like a good idea…
