At about 5 am there was the sound of a bus slowing down on the road below us and shortly after the sound of a tent being put up near ours. Craig had arrived for some tramping.
We didn’t set off until around midday and a couple of hours later our friend the rain showed up. Then the wind joined in and this made our decision to go to Torsbu, the closest of the huts easier.
We ate lunch sheltering behind a locked private hut and then continued up the hill to a lake where we found two very tidy DNT huts.
We set up in the main Torsbu hut. Leonie lit the fire and after collecting water I went to check out the delights in the food room.
Bog and Sodd! Fantastic.
Pancakes, biscuits, salmon, rice, toddy, everything that you might want. We spent the evening roasting in the hut and eating lots. After seeing a thermometer outside registering just a couple of degrees, the warmth in the hut was very nice.
Above left: We took over the Torsbu hut. Actually there were two of them, both uninhabited. We picked one and Leonie lit a fire so that we could get warm and dry our clothes. Above right: The hut was full of dubious sounding food such as Bog and Sodd.
Above: I collected water from the lake that we boiled on Leonie’s fire.
