Welcome! This is thor from Skogfar.
And I will like to show you a trip we like to walk here in Ringerike and Hole
And if you haven't walked it you cannot call yourself a person from Ringerike or Hole.
Today I have Marco with me,
so let's go and see how it goes.
The place we are walking to is called Dark Walk (Mørkgonga)
it is a crack in the mountain
we are going to the top today
It is beside the Stone Fjord (Steinsfjorden)
It is on top of a mountain, so
there will be alot of breathing involved
I will measure the height with my Garmin clock
so we will see
I will put the tracked data on my homepage (skogfar.no)
There is a link under the video in the description
It is marked with blue
I wonder if it is blue all the way
Marco: Here are the loose rocks you have told me about, dad!
Thor: Yes, alot of loose rocks here
Marco: Yes
Marco: I know that now
Thor: This is a very popular place
We can hear people behind us and infront of us
The time I was furthest down in the basement
was when Kristoffer and I
from "By the Kings View"
We hiked in the middle of the winter with 3 feet of snow. It was terrible with 20 kilos in the backpack
I cannot recommend it
That is not an low level trip
but but, in the summer some people run here
it pays off to be in a better shape than I am
We will see how Marco endures, he is
He have just had his 10 year old birthday
so if everybody can congratulate him, he will be happy
The view is getting better now over Stone Fjord, but even better on the top
How is it going, Marco?
Marco: Good!
Thor: You are taking your jacket off?
Marco: Yes, it is hot even when it is shady. But that is from my heavy breathing and sweating
Marco: It starts to come now
Thor: I think it is deforested some here
Thor: So it looks a little different here than I am used to
Thor: We came from there, here is a road, a crossroad
Thor: So I think we are going that way
Thor: Still marked with blue
Thor: Here it is
Marco: Uprooted Trees are Dangerous
Thor: I thought it sais "Rottweiler is dangerous"
There is Sundvollen
That way is Lore Hill
Thor: We are in the forest again
or we have passed the deforested areas
I feel that I am alive
Marco: Wish it was cold
Thor: What are you saying, Marco?
Marco: I wish it was colder here...
Thor: Some cold had helped
Thor: We are on the right track
Marco: Dark Walk is here, isn't it?
Thor: Yes, it is! Blue marked!
Lets go this way. We are on the right track.
Thor: I'm exhausted, Marco. I think you have to carry me
Marco: Hehe, I will break if I do
Thor: We found a roadsign
So we have now turned and walking upwards
But we are on the right track. That is always good
Thor: Ooooh
Thor: hohh
Marco: See! It is completely flat, dad!
Thor: yes
Thor: you can almost put up a tent there
Marco: Yes, it should have been two trees here so we could hang a hammock
Thor: Yes
Marco: That would be cool!
Thor: I'm so sorry if it is only breathing on this film, but it is a tiresome road
Thor: especially for me
Marco: Just try yourself and see
Marco: You will also breathe heavy
Thor: My endurance is rather on the lower level
Marco: I'm looking forward to get to the top
Marco: Darn, we could have taken a tooth with us
Marco: The other ones are just rocks
Thor: I'm broken
My heart is beating through my shirt
Marco: Do you have regrets by putting on wool?
Thor: No, I always use wool
Marco: Wool isn't bull?
Thor: ahh, Marco. What have you gotten me into?
Thor: Now we have hiked, let us see
We have been hiking for 52 minutes and
we are 382 moh. We have been travelling upwards aprox 300 meters
and only two kilometers in lenght
It is rather steep, it is hard to see on the film
Let me test something
This it the iPhone level thing
and when it is flat it shows zero
but if I put it on the ground
like here
so can you see it sais -27
Don't know if it is minus or plus, doesn't play a tune
Marco: so steep Thor: that steep
Thor: You can whip out your iPhone and get the level app and tilt it to minus 27
Marco: It will be like this all the way up. Perhaps steeper
Thor: Lets go. We are getting eaten up by mosquitos, Marco
Marco: Yes, you have a phone, I have a phone
Thor: and I have a first aid kit
Marco: and you have sticks (???)
Marco: It is high here
Unknown person: This is the best training you have gotten in many years, dude
Unknown person: Never seen you so done before
Thor: Just walk
Unknown person: You are soon at the top, just keep climbing
Henning: Are you all done?
Marco: This is the worst I have ever done
Henning, Yes, it is heavy, hehe
Thor: How is it, Henning? Do you have a leg that is dandy and one that hates you?
Henning: Correct!
Henning: There is a leg that almost explodes now and then
Henning: but but, it's ok
Marthe: It wont be more hikes before the surgery
Thor: No. Henning: No, don't think so
Marco: Daddy, we could go together
Thor: I think we let them go, and then we follow
Thor: Then we can pick Henning up when his leg muscle had popped off
Henning: Yes!
Marco: We have a first aid kit
Henning: Yes, that is good. It may be a bit gory
Henning and Marthe: Good bye! Thor: Bye bye!
Thor: That was Henning from work with his missus
Henning has the same as I had
Compartment syndrome
I have gotten my surgery and are fine and dandy
Henning has only gotten one surgery yet, so one of his legs are not cooperating
Keeping my fingers crossed so he can get his second surgery
Now we will hike the last bit and we will see eachother on the top
Thor: You are doing great, Marco!
Marco: I will never do this again
Thor: No
Marco: I wont dare to
Marco: No, father, I cannot walk any furthere here
Thor: You are doing very good, Marco
Marco: Just do it!
[sound of falling rocks]
Thor: There is the crevice
[sound of falling rocks again]
Marco: daddy, father...
Marco: Ah, father, I feel the burn
Marco: Can we walk all the way up there
Thor: No you don't have to
Thor: Good, Marco!
Thor: Very good!
Marco: Thank you!
Thor: yes, we are now at the crevice
so I will try to film it
This is kind of the goal of the trip
Marco: Is the crevice the goal?
Thor: Here they have put up wires all the way up, for support
Marco: It smells like nirvana of my fingers
Thor: Yes...
Thor: the last leg, Marco!
Marco: Mhm
Marco: Yes, i am holding the wire. I am so happy!
[Marco sings]
Thor: Have you started singing now?
Marco: Yes, I am so happy now
Thor: Walk carefully despite the wire
Marco: Is it better if I hold the rope?
Thor: The rope is better. It wont hurt your hands
Marco: Is the rope more durable?
Thor: They are equally durable
Marco: I feel safer with the wire
Marco: This is the scary part
Thor: I have to look after Marco, so I will film when we get to the top.
Thor: Yes, we are up!
So let me see if I can get some footage from where we came
Here is the favourite place for picture
above the Dark Walk and to the Stone Fjord
Marco: We are up!
Thor: You have done good, Marco! Marco: Thank you!
Thor: Very good!
Thor: We will go to the edge now
Marco: Yes, I will try not to fall down
Thor: That is important not to do
Marco: ah, it is darn me alot of mosquitos here
Marco: Some of the worst mosquito places I have been too after Sweden and the North Cape. Well, in North Norway
Thor: What did you thing of the trip up?
Marco: Exhausting!
Thor: You were brave!
Thor: It was high up! Marco: Terrible!
Thor: But you pulled through, did not quit! Marco: Yes
Marco: No, painful. Thor: I am so proud of you!
Thor: Very proud of you, Marco! Marco: Thank you
Marco: Let us walk over there
Henning: Hey! Thor: Hey!
Henning: You made it? Thor: Yes!
Marco: Wonderful!
Henning: Nice to be done Marco: Yes
Thor: So now we have to find the alternative route back
Marthe: We struggled the last time
Thor: Yes, up there, it is a lighted path there
Marthe: First time we went over there Henning: Yes, we went over there but it was alot of moss to step in
Marco: Daddy, I will take some pictures now Thor: Yes!
Thor: I will now show you the view. It is the carrot for the trip
[People talking to eachother]
Thor: You can put it in your back later on
Marco: Mmmm, it, oh my god it is so good
Marco: It is so good when we are tired and finally get something to eat
Thor: I forgot, we have been out for two hours
eating food and looking at the view
but it is around three kilometers
and we are at 492 moh
the time is two o clock
so we will eat and rest and then go down again another route
Marco: That are longer, but not so straineous
We will now go home
It is very nice here at the Dark Walk, Marco had a good time, so did I
This was a very nice day!
Marco: We had some fun.
Thor: Up there is where we was
Thor: so we hiked the ridge and then down
Thor: to here
Thor: I have to thank you for joining me on this nice trip
Marco: You have to try it. It is very nice!
Marco: But your legs will hurt, but it is worth it
Thor: Bring food and take it easy
Also good to be two persons because it is easy to get hurt here
We will see eachother soon! Take care!
