Day 1. From camp by Storbunkevatnet over remote heathland into Anderdalen National Park and down to the Gamme (hytte, bothy) above Anderdalen.
Day 2. From Anderdalen by waymarked route over rough mountain terrain and snow fields by Istinden and down to Bumannsvatnet camp. Weather deteriorating.
Day 3. From Bumannsvatnet in constant rain to Tronddalen and increasingly difficult river crossings to incompletely bridged large river Heggelva. Crossed and camped. Abandoned fourth day of trail and took bus next day.
Rather alarmed at such a route and lack of adequate river crossings in Tromdalen. The fourth day would also have finished over a large river by bridge, but we had lost trust in the route.
With Judith Bullivant.
