Across Hardangervidda in Norway

Harteigen, 1690 m, from Hadlaskard, 18 March 2008

This Easter, after three days alone a bit further north, skiing from lake Tyin to Bygdin, I went hut-to-hut with two friends across Hardangervidda in Norway, Europe's biggest mountain plateau, from Haugastøl on the Bergen to Oslo railway, south-west to Haukelisæter east of Stavanger. The weather was best described as "variable", hence a paucity of good pictures, particularly at the end of the journey when it was cold, snowy, and misty, with very strong head-winds. In the continuation post below there is a rather fragmented set of pictures.
