After a fun few days in Finland with friends, which included a cheeky half marathon in Helsinki yesterday morning, I made my way to Oslo.
If I’m honest I cannot remember what planted the seed of inspiration for this jaunt. I suspect someone sent me a link about it after reading about my Spanish Caminos. I spent a while trying to work out how I could free up enough time in June and July to take on this trip. At one point it seemed impossible to put rearrange everything but, as Husbando pointed out, we have no idea what lies in the future and we need to take our chances when we can. Either that or he’s fed up of having me at home so much!
So, what am I doing? I’m walking the Gudbrandsdalsleden, which is one several
pilgrims’ paths in Norway. This one goes from Oslo to Trondheim. My bag is packed. I’m sure that I am going to get used to full daylight when I want to sleep at night. Tomorrow is an admin day. I will spend it visiting the Pilgrim Office here in Oslo, working out where the route starts and doing some tourist stuff.
It would be lovely if you joined me for the journey!
