Jegersberg trip
– 18-03-15 / 21-03-15
Together with Luke and Osvaldas am I going to do a nice hike in Jegersberg. I prepaired the hike together with Luke. We all made one evening dinner for the whole group and the other food we do on our own. Osvaldas is still recovering from an injurie on his ankle so we take it easy.Jegersberg trip
Wednesday
We leave at 14:00 from Kongsgard alle and walk together to Jegersberg. We walk to the Omventebåt today. the route is easy and marked by painted stips and piles of stones. We set our camp on the route to the Omventebåt between the threes with a water stream nearby. The whole camp is set round 16:00 and we have plenty of time to make it comfortable. Osvaldas is sleeping in his bivibag under the stars, Luke brought a small army tarp and I’m sleeping under my own 3×3 tarp. I’ve got space for Osvaldas to sleep under my tarp if it will rain. I’m trying a new way of putting up my tarp and it took me some time to figure it out.
We build a nice campfire between the tarps in a hole that was already in the ground. I get some stones to put around the fire place, Luke and Osvaldas are looking for wood. There is plenty of dry wood hanging loose in the threes. Luke made a reflection screen of wood behind the fire and I made a couch to sit on. We use water from the stream and we are eating my dish tonight. I made couscous with corn, split beans, paprika cream and curry. Not a light hiking dish, but it taste really good. We chill at the campfire and if the sky clears up we might see the Northern lights.
Thursday
I had a really good night and weak up from Luke who is cooking hot water and heaving breakfast. The sun is shining and it’s a beautiful day. Unfortunately we didn’t see the northern Lights last Night, but tomorrow we have a chance to see the sun eclipse. It’s our plan to walk to the Linvatna lake today. We wake up slowly, I have breakfast in bed, oatmeal with hot water what I had in my thermos from last night. We break up the camp and clean the fire place. We walk up to the Omventebåt and take a lunch break in the sun. I met the girlfriend of florin there and we have a short chat. We Put on our backpacks and an old men appeals to us. He tell us about a nice route at the west edge of Jegersberg and a hut on the route. It sounds great and because it will probably rain tonight according to the weather forecast we decide to walk to the hut and sleep there. During the walk we have a beautiful view over the Otra and Bonaheia. We met the man again at the edge of the cliff and he tell us that there is a climbing area underneath. The man turns out to be a ski and hike instructor and he’s very enthusiastic about the hike we are doing. We walk on and reach the hut. We attach our tarps to the side of the hut to prevent for the wind and a tarp on the roof against rain and increase the heat. We fit perfectly with three people in the hut, although the ground is a bit unequal. We build a nice fire on the fireplace what was already there. Ten meters from the hut is a swamp with a water stream. We collect some wood and relax in the sun. 
Luke teaches me to make a nice pot hanger for my pot and we have fun carving things out of wood. The sun disappears between the hills and we light the fire. We decide to go back tomorrow so we have one day to do shopping for the snowhole trip which start next Monday. We eat the dish of Osvaldas today, rice with vegetables and there is enough for a second dish. It started to rain a bit and we decide to go in the hut. Not long after we fall asleep.
Friday
We stay in bed for a long time. I go out for a pee. The sky is covered with clouds so we won’t see much from the sun eclipse. We pack our stuff and walk back along the Omventebåt and return to the city.
