Hammerhavn to Hotel Skovly – 5th May 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After yesterday’s wind and rain the sunshine today was a blessing. I had thought to leave the wind behind but it had veered to the west and was still blowing in my face all day. No matter, the rain stayed away and I stayed dry.
Low cliffs for the first two hours and then the glorious blooming coastal forest for the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Hammerhavn with the castle – the Hammerhus on the cliff top.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Even fifty years ago, the native pink granite was still being quarried and shipped from here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I can avoid the crowds – about three people – and go around the castle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
That would be Vang below. Nothing much open on Monday or Tuesday on this island so stops will be limited.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I am constantly surprised at the young forest. They must have a started planting twenty or thrity years ago, way ahead of the fervour in the UK.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A handy stair down the cliff face, though I wouldn’t like to have tried it yesterday in the wet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Down to the bouldered beach for the run in to Vang.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A tiny little water mill in the forest.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And a very handy bridge over the gorge. I just wish that they handn’t put holes in the treads.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The mountain lake behind the bridge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Down to the coast again at Teglk\u00e5s. This remainds me very much of the Isle of Man.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I’ve looked and can not find a rune set to decipher. Perhaps when I’ve more time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The crane waiting patiently for the young fish to come out from the seaweed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Hasle, and the awful harbour front apartments. In the distance the giant wind turbines awaiting assembly at R\u00f8nne. Not a coffee to be had.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Normally you’d think grain storage but I just don’t know.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Klympen Strand and the wind turbines more clearly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This area is strange, likely fossilised sand dunes. Hard underfoot like dried mud.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Again with the young costal forest in bloom. The pines are much older but have been interplanted to help preserve the land from erosion.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The beach to R\u00f8nne. I’m off to the left to the hotel and pick up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The sun shone and though the wind still had a bit of winter chill to it, I felt great. At least I did right up until I had to do the last 1K on the soft sand, which for some reason did me in. Never mind, tomorrow should be a softer day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
