It was a chilly but sunny day, like many of the days we are having currently. We plugged in the Sat Nav and the route took us nearly up to Trysil, then round Osensjøen (Osen Lake) The opposite side to where we usually come from. We decided to still go for this route as neither of us had never travelled the opposite side of the lake before.
As soon as we had left Elverum (which has seen no signs of Winter as of yet), the trees all of a sudden started turning white, and there was a light frost on the ground, the type of things we should be seeing at this time of year! The journey was so beautiful. However, as we reached Osensjøen, the sun had obviously been out for quite a while, as the frost suddenly disappeared.
Then suddenly...we were thrown right back into the beginning of winter, and not only that...but we were also expected by my Sat Nav, to travel on what seemed a dirt track for the last 30 minutes of our journey! Both Thomas and I were dreading what our car may look like after this trip, stones were flying up from everywhere, even though we had slowed right down!
The track went on and on...
For what seemed like forever!
Then finally, we reached Osen, goodbye dirt track, hello the frozen side of Osensjøen!
The scenery was absolutely beautiful. I was slightly jealous however, of how Osen looked like some type of winter wonderland, when Elverum wasn't even showing any signs of starting winter anytime soon. Everything looked beautiful!
We had a lovely day with his Grandparents, we both arrived home that evening, safe, well, and well fed! A trip to Osen is always worthwhile! We shall not however, be taking the advice of my Sat Nav ever again if it tells us to drive round Osensjøen the eastern side!
I was due to go out for a mini trip in Elverum today to show you some more pictures, however something came up so i'm hoping to go out tomorrow, if not, definitely Thursday! Keep your eyes peeled.
