Today has been one of those days we have talked about for a while now, the day we climb to Pulpit Rock. Getting here feels a bit like we are putting the tail on Norway, to match the top we added by reaching <a href=\"http:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/topping-out-north-cape-nordkapp-mageroya-norway\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nordkapp over two months ago<\/a>. We had originally planned to climb it on my birthday, after what happened today, I am so glad we didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>In case you haven&#8217;t heard about Pulpit Rock, it&#8217;s a 25m x 25m square formation of rock overlooking the Lysefjord. What is so special about this rock is that it rises vertically 604m above the water with sheer cliffs on three sides. To reach it is an 8 kilometre round trip hike, so while it gets around 200,000 visitors a year, its relative inaccessibility means it isn&#8217;t packed.<\/p>\n<p>It didn&#8217;t take us long to reach the parking from J\u00f8rpeland, and as it was still early the car park was very quiet. Charlie opted not to join us today, preferring to stay in Zagan, so we topped up his water bowl, closed the curtains, opened the skylight and promised him we&#8217;d be back for his lunch time.<\/p>\n<p>We set off at 9.30am and were soon on the trail which was upgraded by Sherpas in 2014. It seems Sherpas have been brought in upgrade a lot of hiking paths in Norway (<a href=\"http:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/back-to-the-norwegian-mainland-bodo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">we walked one in Bod\u00f8 too<\/a>), and looking at it you have to be in awe of the amount of work that must go into them. The distance in height between the car park and the view is just over 330m, but as the path goes over ridges you&#8217;re\u00a0climbing up or down for a lot of the route.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24051\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24051\" class=\"size-large wp-image-24051\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01698-1024x512-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Hike to Pulpit Rock, Preikestolen, Norway\" width=\"620\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01698-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01698-1024x512-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01698-1024x512-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-24051\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I can see Zagan from here<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_24061\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24061\" class=\"size-large wp-image-24061\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_095741127-1024x576-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Hike to Pulpit Rock, Preikestolen, Norway\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_095741127-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_095741127-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_095741127-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-24061\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Seen loads of stick action today<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Before long I was struggling to keep up with Jay. I know I&#8217;m nowhere near as fit as him, but today the only way I stood any chance of keeping up with him was concentrate on the path and ignore the views, which was no fun. Things got a bit better as the steep rock steps ended and we reached a plateau of smooth stones. In my mind I was keeping tabs on how many people we had over-taken vs how many had over-taken us, and by the time we reached the last few hundred metres to the top we were up having gone past several groups.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24060\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_094620397_HDR-1024x576-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Hike to Pulpit Rock, Preikestolen, Norway\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_094620397_HDR-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_094620397_HDR-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_094620397_HDR-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24062\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_101545779-1024x576-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Hike to Pulpit Rock, Preikestolen, Norway\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_101545779-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_101545779-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_101545779-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It felt like we were climbing up to the sky as we\u00a0reached the top of the hike, ahead of us was the most amazing view down Lysefjord on our left and on our right the sheer sides of Pulpit Rock.

With still no sign of Jay I crawled backwards away from the edge, got to my feet and headed off to find him.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24071\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24071\" class=\"wp-image-24071 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_111655381-1024x305-1024x305.jpg\" alt=\"Pulpit Rock, Preikestolen, Norway\" width=\"620\" height=\"185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_111655381-1024x305.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_111655381-1024x305-300x89.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_111655381-1024x305-768x229.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-24071\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I did look down and this is what I saw<\/p><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24055\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01727-1024x512-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Pulpit Rock, Preikestolen, Norway\" width=\"620\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01727-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01727-1024x512-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01727-1024x512-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24056\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01731-1024x355-1024x355.jpg\" alt=\"Pulpit Rock, Preikestolen, Norway\" width=\"620\" height=\"215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01731-1024x355.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01731-1024x355-300x104.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01731-1024x355-768x266.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24069\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_111339079-1024x576-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Pulpit Rock, Preikestolen, Norway\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_111339079-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_111339079-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_111339079-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24068\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_111106699-1024x576-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Pulpit Rock, Preikestolen, Norway\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_111106699-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_111106699-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_111106699-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24070\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_111456475-1024x366-1024x366.jpg\" alt=\"Pulpit Rock, Preikestolen, Norway\" width=\"620\" height=\"222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_111456475-1024x366.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_111456475-1024x366-300x107.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_111456475-1024x366-768x275.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I spotted him sitting with his back to the rocks, his head in his hands, I could tell something was wrong. As I had played blissfully unaware on the edge of the rock Jay had been\u00a0going through hell. He was experiencing primal fear. Fear of the height, fear of the sheerness, fear of something happening and fear of something happening to me. He was in a bit of a state. He tried to get across to me how bad it was, and some of it I got, I used to have something similar every time he went out for a ride on his motorbike. But the sheer beauty of the place had me mesmerised and I wanted to capture it all.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24057\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01742-1024x512-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Pulpit Rock, Preikestolen, Norway\" width=\"620\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01742-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01742-1024x512-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01742-1024x512-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24072\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_113727058_HDR-1024x488-1024x488.jpg\" alt=\"Pulpit Rock, Preikestolen, Norway\" width=\"620\" height=\"295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_113727058_HDR-1024x488.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_113727058_HDR-1024x488-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_113727058_HDR-1024x488-768x366.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Spotting some girls having their photos taken while sitting on the corner edge I stupidly asked Jay if he would take my photo there &#8211; he got up, told me to get someone else to take it as he couldn&#8217;t watch, and stormed off. Gathering my things I went after him and caught him up &#8211; once he had stopped &#8211; but tempers were now frayed and more storming off went on. Most of the way back was on my own, concentrating on my footing and once again missing the views, so I could catch up with Jay. What I didn&#8217;t realised was he had stopped somewhere and was now trying to catch up with me.\u00a0So, if you were on the walk to Pulpit Rock today and nearly got bowled over by two frowning Brits I can only apologise.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24073\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24073\" class=\"size-large wp-image-24073\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_113733006_HDR-1024x606-1024x606.jpg\" alt=\"Pulpit Rock, Preikestolen, Norway\" width=\"620\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_113733006_HDR-1024x606.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_113733006_HDR-1024x606-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160921_113733006_HDR-1024x606-768x455.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-24073\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The pic that was one photo request too far<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After our anger subsided a little we tried to talk through what had just happened, but it wasn&#8217;t easy. I am so used to Jay being the brave one and me being irrationally afraid of pretty much everything, but today the tables were turned for a short while. With all the stomping and storming we were back at Zagan bang on time for Charlie&#8217;s lunch, the hike had taken us just over an hour and a half each way. We were still bristley with each other, which Charlie picked up on and retreated quietly back to\u00a0his bed after his lunch. This wasn&#8217;t helped by my failed attempt to update the satnav using the free WiFi in the car park, which led to having no maps on satnav &#8211; luckily we have our CoPilot Navigator app on my phone which we are now using until I can get satnav a decent WiFi\u00a0connection.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24059\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24059\" class=\"size-large wp-image-24059\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01747-1024x512-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Lysefjord Norway\" width=\"620\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01747-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01747-1024x512-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01747-1024x512-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-24059\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Looking back down Lysefjord from our parking spot, luckily the pesky pulpit rock is out of sight<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After everything I just wanted to get far away from Pulpit Rock, so we headed off and found our parking place further along the fjord, fortunately out of view of the rock. To ease tensions in the van the last of the chocolate liquers have been scoffed and we&#8217;ll talk it all through over dinner. It&#8217;s times like this I wish we had some emergency wine, but sadly Zagan is dry.
