NORDIC DISCOVERY

Start in nice weather, climbing further up. Near Helvetesgilet I miss a less obvious cairn, and am passed by three walkers who also seem to deviate the wrong way towards Midnutsvatnet. I realize I have to go west, and soon see the path again, deep down however, only to be reached by a steep descent through a narrow gully. A lot of time was lost here. Once on the right path again, the going remains difficult, a lot snow and rock passages, but also some large rock slabs almost like a highway. After 10,1 km, I call it a day when arriving at Skåltjørna lake, with view on the glacier, a very nice place to camp and to sit in the sun without being bothered too much by insects.

I passed six walkers today, all of whom happened to be Dutch-speaking!
