Ic.18    Section Jitnemenjaevrie - Tiplingelva 24 km

Today's hike did not require any markings or the GPS track. All I had to do was to follow a reindeer fence along Reinfjella. The fence was set up for the easiest possible construction and not for us hikers at all. This meant crossing wet boggy sections, creeks at unfavourable points and constant up and downs. The first bit was rocky but mostly dry ground. But then it started getting wet from above. Most of the day it was raining. Not too heavy but raining. Later it became frequently boggy and I had to treat carefully. On the other side of the fence I saw a big herd of reindeer. Once they noticed me they moved away. Towards evening I had hiked past Lake Austre Tiplingen and was not so far from the point where I had to leave the fence. During a dry spell I found a good spot for the night and set up my tarp.
