About This Book
The narrative follows five women on a multiweek foot journey through Norway's lakes, valleys and mountain plateaus, describing preparations, packing and travel arrangements alongside daily walking episodes. It alternates practical guidance on routes, clothing and river crossings with vivid landscape sketches, encounters at inns and farmsteads, and wry observations about group dynamics and improvisation. Chapters move from embarkation and lakeside towns to high pastures, a boat crossing of a mountain lake, ascent of a notable peak, and the return, yielding a blend of travelogue, logistical notes and reflective, often humorous, commentary on the pleasures and hardships of long-distance walking.
