Put our new tender 'Nymph' to the test today. Motored half an hour up the fjord too a landing stage for walkers to climb up to the look out point called pulpit rock. We tied nymph up on to a flat rock nearby and then climbed the rocky path up through the woods on the trail too pulpit rock. The trail it turned out went first to a tourist centre and back to the fjords famous lookout point. The rocky trial to the centre was rough and slow going steep and complex path of bolders mud and fallen trees, it was beautiful and we loved it. Finding the tourist centre was a bit of a shock, the trail we took there was rarely used but the tourist camp was like a village full of folk in brand new walking kit starting up the path to the view point on what looked like a busy brand new road pathed in fine bright gravel. We had and had an ice cream and returned the way we came on our unused uninhabited quiet and beautiful trial to the dingy. When we had landed at the landing stage we left jenny and freyja to begin the trail there and me and fergus moved the dingy to a flat rock near by and tied it to an iron pin, we had to climb out and find our way over some very steep and rocky ground to meet jen and freyja back on the trail. On returning to the landing i choose to swim and retrieve the dingy instead, it was a much appreciated swim after a hot and sticky walk. On the motor back in the dingy we went close into the high cliffs and went into deep crevasses. I one place we found big mussels growing and we wasted no time in picking some and cooked them for tea!
