Day 26: Langklopp to Meslo

Last night three pilgrims and our hosts, Knut and Helene, had dinner together.  Tacos, followed by ice cream and an early night.  This mountain farm was so quiet at night that a good night’s sleep was almost guaranteed.  Two of us were staying for breakfast, promised for 7.30am so a lie in was the order of the day. 

Helene and Knut make breakfast

With only 21k to cover today I was in no hurry to get started, so had a relaxed breakfast, made myself a packed lunch, paid my bill and set off.  

The weather was overcast for the most part, but there was also some sunshine and a little rain.  I walked several kilometres along roads without seeing a single car, there were also ‘off road’ sections that offered variety, including walking along the banks of the Orkla river.

There was a lot of downhill today, with enough short and steep sections to remind one that this is no walk in the park.  The last kilometre and a half was alongside a ‘really busy’ road.  I saw about twelve cars! 

Meslo Gard is my home for tonight.  It is a working farm.  Haven’t seen anyone here, but the sign told me to let myself if, find a bed, help myself to coffee and cake, shower etc. so that is what I have done.  The trust is amazing!
