Skive to Holstebro 55 km. Total 294 km.
Oh my God! What a start. I managed to
get 7 km away from Skive before it started to pour down. And it was really a lot
of rain. I found a bus shed, where I stood for a while. I was not wet yet, and
it was not cold.
But after a while I was bored there, so I decided to move on even if it was
still raining a lot. After 5-6 km I was soaking wet, and decided to find a
hiding place in another bus shed.
But now it was different because I was wet, so I got cold and started to shiver.
There was no sign of any blue sky anywhere, so I realized this was probably day
rain, and I did not want to spend the rest of the day in the shed.
So I went on .....
After a short time, there was not a dry spot anywhere on my clothes. However, it
is better to ride because then one doesn't get cold, but dear me its unpleasant.
In the list of primitive camp sites, I had found a scout log cabin. I had to
pass Holstebro city to get there. It was not easy to find and I could not look
at my maps because of the rain. After a while I did find the place and found
another shed, where I could wait for the rain to stop.
After half an hour it cleared and I put up my tent. As the weather was now dry,
I went to the city to look around and get some supplies.
Then the rain started again. I managed to get soaking wet one more time. But I
had got some supplies, so I could have a meal. What a day.
