I will publish the 8 norwegian: “Fjellvettregler” ( means: “To-have-sense with-the-enviroment-at-mountain-recommendments“:)
- Plan yout trip and tell someone where you are going
- Adapt your trip after your own abilities and condition
- Consider weather and Warnings of Avalanches
- Be prepared for storm and freezing tempratures even at shorter trips.
- Plan safe choices of roads – Be able to recognise the terrain with potential avalanches and unsecure iceroads.
- Use map(s) and compass. Know you location.’
- Turn and go back if neccessary. Better safe than sorry!
- Save your stamina, and seek shelter if necessary.
The image below are of my two collagues at the top of Skeikampen on a foggy day and illustrates how dense the fog can be.
We rode down the slope after that being all three a bit dizzy. I guess our recommandation is to go cross country skiing at short local trips that goes in circle (“Rundturer”) or stay at a cozy café at days like these. There are plenty of inspiration at Youtube or starting chats with friendly people/locals to plan your next trips at Skeikampen.
