Circumnavigation of Fur

I participated in a tour around Fur, a small island in Limfjorden. The tour was arranged by Marion Boisen.

Been there before. A really nice scenic little island - so off course I wanted to go again. On our way we passed - and visited for lunch - Fur Bryghus, an absolutely brilliant restaurant, created around a micro-brewery, of the same name.

Fur Bryghus

What Fur is really known for is its moler and cliffs.

Your's truly, doing what he does best. :-)

Rødstenen.

We spent the night at the shelters just east of Rødstenen. 300 m to portage. Equal distance to toilets.

 The landscape in it self, is also very scenic.

GPS, or not to GPS - that's the question

That I like the art of navigation, I get by without using a GPS for this purpose.  I prefer using chart, compass and watch. Until now I have (almost) always been close enough in knowing my whereabouts and finding my way. On the other hand, I do like to see my track - either just for fun or to geotag some photos.

Android

Hence I do not want to use power consuming software, on my mobile. I use one of either: My tracks, Move! Bike Computer or GPS Logger. They have various ways to either share or send data, but My Tracks feature to make an export to Google Docs, does kind of appeal to me. Power consuming software like i.e Endomondo, just don't get a chance here.

Logger

i-gotU is an other option. Especially useful on multi-day trips, due to it's battery life (if set to longer log-intervals).

Garmin

On occations I have used a Forerunner - just another option. Here from a trip around Fanø.

Going somewhere ?

30kg kayak + 40kg gear = 70kg ! (and 80kg 'pilot'...)

NordLow, first trip.

We combined a tour and a nightpaddle. We spent the night on Bågø. No wonder i shivered in the morning - there were ice in a drinking bottle.

2010-12-19 - Kidholme

Jepsen, Katrina and I. Fænø Sund <--> Skærbæk. Beautiful calm, but cold, winterday. The lunch break took place in my groupshelter, made a world of a difference.! Water froze in drinkink bottles... A few rolls.

It was a cold day.!

One of the few times where the water froze in the bottle....

That the lunch-brake could take place in a group-shelter, made the world of a difference in comfort versus freezing your ass off..!!

Dejlig vinterdags tur i Lillebælt. Fænø og Fænø Kalv skulle rundes. Mod uret rundt.

Rute kan ses her, med billedlokation.

Kampklar.!

 Vi fandt et 'næsten hul' at komme ud igennem. Isen rykker sig ikke meget i starten - ingen strøm. Men bare da vi skulle afsted var der kommet 'liv' i isflagerne.

 Flot, det er det, men skal vi virkelig rulle i det der..??

Nemt at få plads til tingene. Der skal ikke så meget med på sådan en smuttur.

Så blev Fænø Kalv nået. Der var lidt strabadser med isen i Fænø Sund, men med sved og mas var vi da kommet igennem. Her er normalt en fin lille sandstrand.... 

Skansens konturer understreges af snedækket.

Udsigt sydover.

Sydover, Brandsø skimtes i det fjerne.

Lækkert er der jo derovre. 

  

Den Grimme Brune er med, som Jepsen så smigrende kalder den...

Fiiine udsigt.

Isskruningerne, set oppe fra ø'en.

Udsigten nydes. Sjældent at se skrueis, i de mængder herhjemme.

Det' da meget hyggeligt.

Man feder den. Lader måske op til lidt vinterrul..?? Hvor var det godt vi tog afsted. Vi gjorde det sgu..!!
