As in climbs at a 7 percent gradient. My guide book calls them “mountain gradients.” I realized from my Strava app that I had even done a 10 percent. I just know they’re hard and I’ve done several of these climbs in the last couple of days. My legs are tired.

My stuff is on it’s last leg as well. I knew I would need some duct tape at some point before the journey was over. I usually bring some, but I didn’t this time. Then a strap on my back bag broke. It’s nice to know Norway knows about duct tape.

70 miles down today. Around 120 to go to get to Bergen.
