This a picture of one of the views from preikestolen. The city of Stavanger and a wonderful sunset. This picture was taken by T. We keep telling her she needs to sell these pictures.
This is preikestolen (pulpit rock). This is a cover of a hiking pamphlet.Yes we hiked to there. It was very interesting. If you are afraid of heights not for you. It took about two hours to make it to the top. They say there is a trail and sometimes there is, but the other times you feel like a rock climber. Our three mountain goats loved it. It did get a little scary when you hang to the rock to get to the next area. We also had to climb up a little waterfall. There were is some very beautiful scenery. There were mountain lakes with waterfalls and just gorgeous views of Stavanger and the fjord. It is definitely a must do if you come to Norway. We saw every age making this hike. You can also see that there are no safety fences. They believe in leaving nature alone. That being said our group did not venture close to the side. Some people do actually BASE jump from the top. I decided that I would leave that to them. Anyway just wanted to tell you of the latest hike.
T. does take beautiful pictures! The hike sounds fun but it looks awfully scary up there, especially with no railing. Glad you guys are venturing out and exploring the area. We are currently in the midst of Hurricane Sandy, still have power but the wind and rain has picked up considerably.
ReplyDeleteT. had her test out meet this past weekend. I wrote a blog post about it and posted videos if you guys want to watch.

Level 6 is not for the faint at heart as far as scoring goes. She was able to score a 33.5 (4th AA) and test out so now we can fully focus on Level 7 and the upcoming Judges Cup at the end of Nov.
Hope things are going well for you all, Chat again soon!
