Catching wind in Lierne

Despite crazy weather forecast (very windy), it was right time to discover another Norwegian national park. And because I was accompanied by Vlado, who loves arctic expeditions and tundra environment, I chose Lierne, remote and "small" park, characterised by its ice aged mountainous landscape. I also hoped in some good ice-fishing in local lakes.
After the night in Brattvoll Gård cabin in Holand, Lars Erik drove us with his snow-scooter 12km into the park.
From the forest, we moved up into the open mountains
direction Fiskløyshytta - our home for the next 4 days.
Strong wind started soon after our arrival...reaching its max speed on Saturday (26 m/s)

It is difficult to take a picture of wind, so here is short video from Saturday morning, when the wind was still relatively ok.
Short trip around the cabin before the wind hit us
Sunday was the expedition day - destination Akkavatnet
Cool whole-day trip (ca 15km in total) in sporadically difficult skiing conditions (especially on sport cross-country skies). We "visited" several lakes during the day (Litlflyen, Storflyen - navigation mistake, Holmvatnet, Akkavatnet, Vargtjønnin), however fishing was too challenging because of the strong wind.
"Real men doing real work" - Vlado made this great snow hole on Akkavatnet.
Sunday - half-day trip to Fiskløysvatna (12km in total). Perfect skiing in powder snow along the river-valley.
Wind on Fiskløysvatna was also strong...
Some quality time on Fiskløysvatna
And some unsuccessfull fishing as well...


And a few white pics from Vlado:
