All by myseeeelf...

Deirdre is off on a ladies night, so instead of just staying at home browsing the web 
I'm off to the woods around Sørumsand!

Have never camped in our own woods, but there is a lot of forest with lakes and rivers 
for water so should be no problem to have a nice night in the woods. Its also good 
to know your own back yard as we want to use it more this year and
forward.

With a relatively light pack I started into the woods, basically due
south, and following the trail marked for Varsjotrimmen. This trail
takes you though some lovely forest area before placing you on the
lysloype (about 2km of lit road that is skied on during winter), then on
past the Dam.

Here you start climbing up unto the woods, over large boulders and a
tundra landscape. After a short time you will be brought onto another
road used for forestry, and a few hundred meters more down hill you
will be brought to Damtjern.

I had looked on Google Maps for a suitable campsite and had decided to
try going around the tjern and into what looked like flat, fairly tree
free area. There was a little path just to the left of the tjern so I
followed this around, and when getting to the opposite side headed
deeper into the woods.

While the area was pretty the ground was think with moss and fairly
swampy, so I decided to head back to where I had entered after reaching
Damtjern.
