What, are you making fun at our prime Norwegian winter bikey things?! :eek: :mad:

(But nah, it's not a cycling channel, it's in the general Norway channel.)

I got stuck reading a "discussion" on Reddit, initialised by a Dutchman who wants to cycle through our mountains. Now, mid-winter. 95% of the participants try to dissuade the eediot while the rest call dibs on his bike.

His responds with things like
"Man its just a litte too much when there are hundreds of people saying terrible things." (Terrible things like "Please, don't do it"...)
"Are you familiar with yes theory?" (Sure, it works wonders on hypothermia!)
"If it gets too cold, I ask people if I can at least warm up inside and perhaps put a tent in the garden." (Umm, people? Gardens? In the mountains?)

A helpful German posted a link to a typical winter's day in the area where this dude wants to pedal his bike. Not that any help is welcome.

I'd make a point to avoid these points.

I still can't get over ISO 51,200 actually being useful :D

From the previous one, I haven't gotten to posting from the recent one yet. But we had a wonderful trip. We came up there just after some quite decent rain showers, the road was still quite muddy around Nossob. Seeing a green and flowering desert with water puddles was a treat :)

I spy a bird.

Buchbuck portrait - and a reflection selfie :D

The red spots in her ear are probably from an over-eager ox pecker - is my guess, anyway.

Nah, no rattlesnakes, wrong side of the Atlantic. Could maybe have been a puff adder, but I don't think they are as fond of climbing as the cape cobras.

The boomslang, rinkhals, and spitting cobra prefer wetter areas.

Nice rig! It would be a tad long and wide for some of the places we went - the Toyota got enough scratches as it was - but sure, a bigger vehicle built for more weight and with more power is always better to drive. Ok, within limits :lol:



Looks like a beautiful drive! Yes, it's steep and without guardrails, but as long as the road is as wide as it is I wouldn't mind driving it. I'm not saying there wouldn't be some adrenaline pumping through my system, but I eould definitely enjoy it.



I thought having separate public toilets for men and women was the norm most places? I suspect that cobras don't care, though. But yes, the male side had a urinal (and a toilet). I would guess the female had two toilets - I didn't check.

We're now more than a month past winter solstice, and around here we'll have 7.5 hours of daylight today - more than 1.5 hours up from Dec 21st :) And today the sun is out, too!
