2018-07-14 - Varberg-Holom
"Tilltopps Summer Tour 2018" started early in the morning from our hometown Varberg. In wonderful weather with shining sun and high temperatures we rolled towards Norway. Nice to drop the heat for a while, we thought ...

First stop with breakfast and ready-made sandwiches on the world heritage site in Tanumshede, good to cope with the cultural too!

The roads were lonesome and there were not many cars we met before the Norwegian border in Svinesund. Right here the "famous" Norwegian toll roads began to empty our wallets...

Our plan was to travel to Ringebu a bit above Lillehammer and then turn east and pass Rondane to the right. Really lovely roads with nice nature.
After some research online, we had found an area just south of Folldal with dream terrain for orienteering. In the afternoon we could roll in between the pines in this beautiful area covered with white lichen and a terrain shaped by the ice age some time long ago.

The heat was brutal and the body slowed down after a long drive. But, of course, we enjoyed the incredible area with pits and large height differences.
Luckily we found a nice cold stream to cool us in before moving on to Hjerkinn.

The camp at Hjerkinn riding center was perfectly placed some kilometers from the "city".
