Urdadalen (1540m) - Spiterstulen (1107m)


I fell asleep after 3am. Wakeup at 7am.
It rained in the night, but in the morning sky could be seen between the clouds. Temperature in the morning 2.2C
We packed our stuff and left at 9am. The first break was at the crossing of Urdadalen and Visdalen. The view was outstanding. We identified some mountains : Kyrkja, Søre, Tverrbytthornet... Sun shined from almost clear sky.

[We saw three men next to their tent on our way down. They were Finns, of course. In Norway and Sweden it's mostly Finns who sleep at tents. The natives often sleep in the cabins provided.]

The second stop, a lunch break, we had at the first bridge of Hellstugu. We enjoyed the sunny weather for bit more than an hour.
The last break, that also 30min we held at Hellstuguhaugen. Again enjoying the views and the weather.

We arrived to Prippstulen (Spiterstulen) mountain hut around 3pm. Some bought a beer, I bought chocolate kindly sponsored by the "Gjende Boat Company".

After a small break we continued next to the road and found a perfect spot for three tents [next morning revealed that it could've been better].

After the roofing celebration, held by our dear neighbors, we ate our dinner. In the evening team stretching.

As the bedtime story I red 'Jorpa-Ollin kuolema' (the death of Jorpa-Olli).

At 8:30pm most of us already at bed. Temperature still 7.5C. It's been a warm day.

Distance: 10.3km
Time : 6:40
