Test walk no. 1 yesterday Vänersborg to Trollhättan

Finally, after five years of pending, yesterday was the perfect start of my long move to the (warmer and more sunny) Mediterranean. The walk from home across the locks at Brinkebergskulle (lit. Slopingmountainhill) and along the Göta älv moving average 700 kubic metres of water from Lake Vänern per second but this winter probably up to 1 000 kubic metres are let through at Vargön. If my step meter showed correctly the distance yesterday of this very first stage of my 2400 k walk to Greece was 10 k i.e. a very small portion but nevertheless, one has to get going somehow. (The meter stopped at 14 347 steps and probably each of my steps were longere than 2/3 of a meter.) At this time of the year, starting at 2 p.m. it was already dark when I faced the new double track train bridge* at Trollhättan at 4:30 p.m. offering this spooky picture.  *the train bridge is open to ships on the Göta älv/canal when in up-lifted position like the Tower Bridge in London.
