| walking down from Gaustatoppen |
Last weekend we opened our snow season with a trip to southern Norway's highest peak Gaustatoppen. Weather forecast was great: temp below zero ( to -10), blue skies and sunshine!
Drove up on saturday morning and decided to camp out (try our winter sleeping bags a.k.a. our flock of Geese) on saturday and walk up to the summit on sunday. Arriving on plateau height it turned out to be very windy. The night started out slightly restless due to the wind on the tent.
Sunday we woke to another beautiful yet windy day. The walk up through a layer of snow was cold with a strong head wind and a temperature of -10 deg. This combined with a pulled muscle made us decide to turn back and keep the summit for a next time. Unfortunate, but it gave us another learning experience: Don't forget to also check the wind forecast!
