Dugnad at Ådnanes

Today there was Dugnad at Ådnanes. A dugnad in Norways means all neighbours come together and do something to improve the neighbourhood. In this case it meant there was a team of people improving a hiking-trail, a few were building a deck with the sea for public use, and we were tasked with providing some furniture for a playground in the forest.

We started by making a simple coffee-table from a slice of a large pine-tree and some hardwood legs. Meanwhile Gudmundur took the chainsaw to some logs and produced to benches to complement two he made earlier.

We loaded all the parts we made on the ATV and lugged it through mud and high water to where the playground is. This playground is made by some local people using rope and wood, and I am certain 6-year-old me would have loved it.

The final set-up. Four benches and a table set up to face the playground, the beginning of which you can see on the right.
