Day 79 (21): Fascination Camping

Ulvtuvtjonn to Aklaevatnet

Distance: 34km


After a cold night follows a cold start. Instead of taking the correct path after leaving the causeway, I follow an old marker, guiding me in the complete wrong direction. Still a bit sleepy, it takes me a minute to realize.

Back on track, progress is good. My foot feels better and also the trail is nice to walk on. For mosts parts at least. It's muddy once I briefly descend below the bush line. Nothing unusual and expected.


There's really not much worth mentioning. Just a nice day walking.


As I get closer to my campspot, big, black clouds are rolling in over the hills. I feel some drops of rain and kind of expecting the rain to intensive. 

By this time, I feel exhausted. There's no way I can go any faster. Slow but steady I make my way south. 


I pitch my tent at the first best place. Just as I am inside it starts pouring. My campspot is not optimal at all. Uneven, rocky. Once the rain stops, I quickly move to another spot. Nestled between rocks, a river and the lake, the views are outstanding. Once more. Somehow, I have the feeling that my campspots are getting better and better!
