å ankom dagen da vi skulle bestige Preikestolen, og vi starta dagen med strålende sol og nydelig vær under kjøreturen dit bort. Vel parkert (for 80 kr???) var vi klare til å ta fatt på turen opp til 604 meter over havet. Det var ca. 3 kilometer og ca. 340 meters stigning før vi kunne si oss framma, og vi var klar over at det ikke var en søndagstur i parken. Men at det skulle være så slitsomt, det hadde jeg ikke forestilt meg. Det meste av turen foregikk i steinur, og opp opp opp og atter opp.
Finally then day arrived, when we should mount Preikestolen. And the day started with beautiful sun during the ride over there. Vel parked (kr. 80??? - 10€??? ) we were ready to start the hike up to 604 meters over the sea. It was a 3 km. hike with an ascent of 340 meters before we could reach the goal of the hike. I knew it was not sunday walk in the park, but it was more than I could imagine. Most of the hike was in steep screes, and up up up, and even more up.

Det var mange turister der, men mest nedover igjen. It was a lot of tourists there, but mostly downwards again.
Men som dere ser, fint vær hele veien opp. But as you can see - good weather all the way up.
Og vi klatret og klatret. And we climbed and climbed.
Bjørn kom i nærkontakt med en sau der oppe på fjellet. Bjørn had a close encounter with a sheep up on the mountain
Vel oppe tok utsikten pusten fra meg, og redselen slo inn. Det er 604 meter rett ned. Jeg var liv redd for å komme for nær kanten, men vi fikk da noen bilder. Og vi fikk en velfortjent hvil og påfylling av energi før........
Well up on our goal, the view took my breath away as my fear of highs kicked in. It was 604 meters straight down, and I was really afraid of getting to near the edge, but we did get some pictures. And we did get a well deserved rest with an intake of more energy before...
Bjørn on the edge, looking down.
This is as far as I could manage to get my self
And here, on another side.
Bjørn, som den fjellgeita han er, måtte enda lengre opp på fjellet, men han fikk da et flott bilde ovenfra også. Dette viser godt sprekken som skiller selve platået fra det solide fjellet.
Bjørn, as the mountain goat he is, had to go even further up on the mountain, but he did get a great picture of the plateau. This one shows really good the crack that seperates the plateau from the solid mountain.
Det er forventet at dette plattået ble lagd for 10000 år siden og er en isavkastning.
It is believed that this plateau was create by ice 10000 years ago.

Og mens Bjørn var her oppe, åpne himmelen slusene sine og slapp løst det som fantes av vann og hagl????. På bare et par minutter var vi så gjennomvåte at man kunne vri både oss og klærne og sikkert få ut mange liter vann.
And while Bjørn was up there, the sky opened all its sluices and let down all the water that existed up there together with a lot of granular snow???? In just a couple of minutes we were soaked wet, I guess you could get several liters of water out of our clothes.
Vi startet nedturen og den ble litt tyngere pga. av veldig våte klær, men hele nedturen var faktisk ikke særlig mye lettere enn oppturen, og vi brukte bare 5 minutter kortere tid ned enn opp.
Vi started the decent and it was a bit heavier because of the wet clothes, and the decent was not a lot easier that ned trip up, we actually used only 5 minutes less getting down.
Bildet over viser en av steinurene vi måtte forsere. The picture shows one of the screes we had to pass.
Endelig nede..... Finally down again

And yes, I bought the T-shirt
