On Sunday, we decided to all go for a walk in the woods. The idea was that I would carry Tryfan in the Ergo, Bentley would scamper, and Rhiannon would fall asleep in the frame backpack for her daily nap and we could all enjoy the spectacular sunny day. Things didn't turn out that way...this wasn't really a walk that one could fall asleep on.
We started at Gulhella train station, about a 5 minute drive from home, and made our way up the flank of Vardaasen mountain (the mountain with the ski slope visible from our living room). After a bit, we detoured off the main path and took a smaller path which turned out to be less walking and more scrambling up and down outcrops of rock and across icy snow patches. But we both were (of course) VERY careful.
We didn't go all the way to the top because we realized that Rhiannon was never going to fall asleep in these conditions (although we kept looking skeptically further up the trail and saying "well, it looks like its going to flatten out a little bit..."). But we did get high enough to be rewarded with gorgeous views of the Oslofjord.
Eventually Rhiannon did fall asleep -- once we were back on the main path and about 5 minutes away from the car. We just left her in the backpack next to the car while I nursed Tryfan and Rhodri read a magazine. Success!

I love the look Tryfan is giving you in the first picture- you are the cat's meow! :)
Do they sell crampons locally? Yup that's a word. We scaled the Grand Canyon in a snowstorm - they saved our lives!
