Just time for a quick trip back to the States if you've forgot anything
Nooooooo.... coming back, my check-in luggage weighed just under 100lb, and luckily they didn't weigh my two carry-on bags - 30kg. and I was wearing the fishtail parka with two liners and hood.......
And just to cap it all, the torn calf muscle which had just settled down decided to flare up again!

Re the latter reference, the translation of this into English is as follows, courtesy of Google Translate!
This trail runs on the logging road from Sognsvann to Ullevålseter - east of the water - and the "main course" from Sognsvann and into the forest. The road is very widely used in both summer and winter. Want to go a little more at peace, you can select track 705, which takes up right at svartkulp, about 900 meters from the start. You can also come to the hammer by taking up here and follow the trail at 371 Anchor Road. Near svartkulp is also the geographical center of Oslo.
The trail inland from Sognsvann should be easy for most people - it has only a gentle uphill by water, otherwise it is mostly quite flat. The stretch of incline is approximately 1.7 km (from about 200 to about 300 m.). Before Major Åklungen surfaces trail out, and follow the water further inland. Here you pass 60 degrees north (marked on a blackboard along the way).
The last part of the course consists of a 400 meter long hill to Ullevålseter. Just before the hill, there is a trail to the right. The leading example to hammer (trail 708) and Kikutstua (trail 235).
On Ullevålseter there is food and drink for purchase. From here, open up a range of opportunities to continue the trip. You may Kikutstua by selecting Run 799, which goes down to the Eastern Aurtjern. There is also a connection to Kobberhaughytta and Langmyr / Nordmark Chapel. Trail 274 goes against Tryvannstua via Scolding kid, with a possible detour to Skjennungstua while trail 210 is illuminated trail to Frognerseteren.
