Mountain tour together with mum :)


Today mum and I was going to take a little walking tour, just to get some fresh air...

Mum put a couple of chocolate sandwitches, some lemonade, some cake, some coffee, and two Mars chocolates in a bag, and then we left the house, from Rise (down to the right).

We followed "Skydalselva" (the river which goes to the left direction), and suddenly found out that we wanted to go up to the lake "Gluntvatnet" (the little one of the four lakes, to the right). I guess Gluntvatnet is about 300 metres above the sea, so there was a quite long walk. There we sat, besides the lake, and ate all the food we'd brought - an act not difficult at all because there was so little of it... When sitting there, we discussed many things, among them; if we should walk further up - towards the mountain "Rishatten" (about in the middle), or if we should just go home again. We chose the first of the mentioned, and continued walking.

At this stage we'd no food left, only a half-empty bottle of "Siesta". We climbed higher, and walked up the side of the mountain, just between the two lakes "Gluntvatnet" and "Storvatnet". The tour turned out to be much longer than first expected - the distance from the place where we climbed up to Rishatten was rather big, especially without food. It was quite windy, but not cold. We got to the cairns, looked at the small houses (among them, our house), and started on the return. Mum didn't want to slide down the side of the mountain, so we had to walk almost back to where we came from. There we had to climb/slide down, and finally we got to the rocky road... Then it was just to walk down, down, down... Think we walked for an hour before we were home again.

A little walk became a mountain tour taking almost six hours.

And we got dad-cooked pourage at home :)

It was a fantastic tour! Really refreshing!
(and it's always good with physical activity, especially for me, 'cause I'm not training too much, I'm afraid...)
