5. High Way

Traveling, you're a nomad, ploy supple, playfull in spirit
Surrender to mercy, becoming free and bold
For you clash with the opposing, for every thing says it's own
Learn to bear patiently what's coming ahead while traveling
Bear patiently what's coming from the opposing while traveling

Loosely adapted and translated: Onderweg - Willem Vermandere

Somehow I made a mistake in designing the route. How it happened is a mystery, but the route ended up going over a non-existing road.
And there I was, at the point the non-existing road would have started. In front of me were some bushes and trees on a very steep hill-side. The road behind me existed as expected.
So, I had to go back and the only alternative to continue was a highway, because the Olav Way that is a bit higher-up it is not cyclable.
In Norway you may - if there's no other way - cycle over the highway. But it is no picnic (don't worry, this won't end-up int the route guide!).
I cycled another 50 meters over the highway and realised that I forgot something very important: I forgot to put on my seat-belt on!
