Fantastic pics and fantastic taleRingdrotten.

And I completely agree about mountains and their moods, and that Tolkien got it spot on- and Pj obviously fumbled the whole ball by making it Saruman. Evil or Very Mad

"carachdras was called the cruel long before the name of Sauron had ever been heard" -or words to that effect.

Frankly thats what you get for trying to go to a troll mountain- and Id expect more knowledge from a Fjordian soldier, surely you must have realised when your compass went haywire you were very near a troll with large iron deposits in its body? Lucky escape if you ask me.

by Norc Sat Jul 13, 2013 11:15 pm

Yeah, defi a charadras parallell here Very Happy

and yes, campfire is the best Wink

preferably in a sleeping bag with that warm glow in your face making u feel sleepy. And the smell of the ground, the wet moss, bark.. The fire .. The silence.. Smile

Yes petty, definitely in troll-land. See the scattered boulders. Troll- war.

Btw, i've kept that fire alive for several hours now. I am quite proud Very Happy

All I can say is, it's not the first time a soldier, whatever his nationality, has been fooled by his pride and let common sense be common sense Embarassed

I was more worried about the danger of avalanche, to be honest, but the snow was not deep and the temperature had been stable for a long period. The risk will have increased already, though, with all the rain that came pouring down today.

Avalanges!?!? Now? Really.. Whenever i come actoss snow like that in summer it is always rotten because of sun and stuff, but frozen underneath, that can ofcourse lead to avalanges, but the layer isn't that thick. When i do come across them i ski down on the with my boots, it's great fun and u get a hell of a speed Very Happy

by Pettytyrant101 Sat Jul 13, 2013 11:21 pm

Ah well very dangerous avalanches Ringdrotten- got to watch for the signs for sure, especially in places where the avalanche might also contain trolls!

In terrain like that they can still happen, however rarely it happens. Riding them on skis sounds a little too hardcore for a simple trondheimer like me, however Laughing

Glad you guys liked the pictures and the story that went with them, by the way Very Happy

I've got more pictures, but somehow they didn't seemed to fit. Maybe I'll find another thread for them.

Very true

by Mrs Figg Sat Jul 13, 2013 11:25 pm

those are fantastic photos everyone. I love Norc's forest glades and Ringos troll mountain. cheers

although I am not a camping person, it does look very healthy stuff, as long as the mountain doesnt decide to Throw a Wobbler. (get angry)

No, not on skis. Just on my shoes. It's so rotten it works the same way, u sink through a little, but since it's a slope u slide. U got some control because there is some breaking, but u get good speed Very Happy

Watch out Ringdrotten! Norc's clearly been pining for a real, strong Fjordian man after being stuck with, well, us for so long and now she's coming after you. Very Happy

Great pics, though! Wink

Kilimanjaro tried to do that to us.

The weather all the way up to summit camp was really good. Summit night the wind really picked up and the temperatures dropped considerably. Anyone without the right gear pretty much ended up with -15 wind cutting through their clothes.

My gloves are sit somewhere up there!!

Our guide who was on about her 15th ascent said it was the worst weather she had experienced up there.

Looks a bit pricier than the Duck n Muck and I bet they dont do hotpots or square sausage. Mad

And not sure about that car- its very large- do you have to pay for all of it, even the bits you dont use? Suspect

Anyway Lance will be doing the transport--so some sort of capri Id imagine.
lovely pics however.
