The sheep playing chicken with the vehicles!

It’s been a superb day, after rain overnight the weather
improved and this afternoon we were in the low 20’s with full sun. Can’t
complain.
First stop this morning was in Tynset, not far down the
road, and our first Norwegian Grocery shop to get some fresh buns and bits and
bobs. Went to Rema 1000, but no fresh bread so across the road to a Co-op store
and found what we wanted, although always takes awhile to get used to the
language in a new country, and how their stores are setup. Also found a chemist
to get an anti-itch cream as had a few bites last night!
Continued on HW30 and then South on E3 which turned out to
be a great drive through a valley beside the river with dairy farms rising from
either side. It looked a pretty prosperous area, the buildings were well
maintained and many were quite new. We tootled along enjoying the scenery. Then
we headed west along 29 to Foldatt at the start of HW27 where we had a lunch
stop then continued on along what is classed as a scenic route. Really didn’t
know what to expect, but it turned out to be a real winner. Although the road
was not that wide and quite a bit of traffic. So many motorhomes and caravans
on the road, but guess it is not surprising as this is the middle of their
holiday season.
We climbed and climbed passing through beautiful scenic
places then out of the trees and into a high alpine area at over 1000m. So
picturesque. There were cattle stops on the road and soon found out why ….
Sheep! There are no fences and these ewes and lambs are so used to traffic they
don’t bat an eyelid as they decide to sleep on the warm road. At times we had
great difficulty getting around them especially one mum and her offspring sound
asleep on the centre line, not much fun when the road is quite narrow! Pleased
to see the motorists slowing right down and very carefully moving through them.
P4N had another good stop for us, an off road parking area
which is used by many hikers as well as motorhomes. A great spot with views out
over a lake and hills beyond. The afternoon turned really warm and so nice to
get the chairs out and enjoy it. Even had a hike into the hills!
Minimal wifi so will have to load in the morning!
