Trip Summary

Instead of biking directly to the shop, I decided to make a little detour towards upper Fyllingsdalen. Before the rain started, I took a look at the place, where in 2020 a stone was erected in memory of three British soldiers, who had jumped out of their aircraft on January 12, 1945, then coming down on parachutes, before eventually being captured and detained. First, I had considered to include also a short hike up to Løvstakken, but since it already started to rain, my motivation degraded and I instead returned back towards more southern grounds in Fyllingsdalen (and to the shop, of course).
