This trip the plan is the low level crossing from West to East (transport related decision) though if the weather is okay I hope to climb Glittertind. I will save Glacier walking for another trip. <br />The photo of Hardangervidda plateau looks great, another trip to add to my list.<br /><br />Have a great trip,Nielsen Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16493125853192182579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399206197069094470.post-11547351330053510922009-06-30T20:28:23.427+02:002009-06-30T20:28:23.427+02:00Martin - Yep, the 2009 Pinnacle and the short NeoA...Martin - Yep, the 2009 Pinnacle and the short NeoAir arrived yesterday afternoon. Just in the nick of time! No chance of a shakedown trip so thanks for the Pinnacle packing tip. It actually seems way 'more' of a bag than I'd feared. The Amphibians look do seem a little baggy but I have high hopes and they're still a whole lot better than the appalling Sealskinz which fail in the basic design.Joe Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00907231785281446095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399206197069094470.post-31048623878995790312009-06-30T20:21:41.897+02:002009-06-30T20:21:41.897+02:00Nielsen - I was looking at a map of Jotunheimen th...Nielsen - I was looking at a map of Jotunheimen this afternoon. Stunning geography, should make for a memorable trip. Lets hope your clothing choices help make it memorable for the right reasons!<br /><br />Extra fuel and an ultralight fleece vest have been added to my pile to combat the expected weather.Joe Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00907231785281446095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399206197069094470.post-49922052569644434862009-06-30T20:20:05.481+02:002009-06-30T20:20:05.481+02:00Scotland then.

Remember to pack it tall and slim - so the weight is as close to your centre of gravity and have a fine walk. The Amphibians look baggy but I have never had a sore spot, or wet feet. I forget I have them on some times.Martin Ryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719332121719827761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399206197069094470.post-67584827572942008042009-06-30T20:14:12.560+02:002009-06-30T20:14:12.560+02:00Yeah been watching the weather too.
