Comments:
I was driving across from Åby to Bergen on a very nice and warm summer day. It was just mandatory to make a stop and climb some mountain. I pulled off the road just before the Haukeli tunnel. My son Tor Erling (age 9) walked, while I carried my youngest son, Pål Jørgen in a "bæremeis", this is a special backpack designed to carry small children. We descended a steeper route among some smaller creeks. This was a bad decision and some scrambling was required. I remember that little Pål expressed some serious concern from high up on my back.
