| A 2day hut-to-hut walk in the Jotunheimen mountains. Starting from Leirvassbu, we headed down to the DNT hut at Gjendbu (22km), unwisely opting for the 'shortcut over the ridge' plan, which looked easy on the map (ahem). Day 2 was a bit more relaxing, with a different 18km route back to the car. |

Glaciers all around |
The start of our "shortcut" involved clambering over lots of glacier moraine... |
... followed by more moraine... |
|
..and then even more chossy, loose scree and boulders. |
|
Top of the ridge. Not a cairn to be seen, so I made my own! |
