The trip from Seljestad to Olalia is normally done as a six days hiking trip, with accommodation at the beautiful cabins along the route in Etnefjellene and Saudafjellene. The FKT has to pass through via the following cabins; Simlebu, Sandvasshytta, Blomstølen, Storavassbu, Ljøkelsvatnhytta and Olalia.

The river Wandle itself is a tributary of the Thames to the south west of London, consisting of 15 miles of rich chalk stream habitat in good condition, which in its industrial heyday, was the ‘hardest working river in London’, with over 90 mills along it’s banks throughout time. The river rises in two sources Waddon and Carshalton.

The Nordmarka High Five is a classic trip in the forest north of Oslo, Norway. It is a link-up between the five peaks over 700 meters in the capital area. The FKT has to start and end at Frognerseteren, but the order that you choose to link up the peaks is optional. The peaks, ordered in the direction they were run in the first fastest known time, are as follows: Helgehaugen (706m), Lamannshaugen (705m), Svarttjernshøgda (716m), Ringkollen (702m) and Oppkuven (704m) . The complete circuit is somewhere around 75-100km depending on the routing, and involves 2 000 - 3 000 meters of elevation.

(Editor Note: This "Crater Rim" is near Bend, Oregon, not the more famous "Crater Lake" further south which is a National Park.)

Run around the Crater Rim Trail. This is a 21 mile arduous hike. There is vast stretches of forest, deserts, and mountains that extend from all sides.  This trail is classified as more difficult because of its length and lack of water.  There is an option to climb nearby Paulina Peak (as shown in the attached .gpx file).
