October 11Oi! Why the silence from RP? It’s been two weeks since the last blog insert. To be honest, it seems that pigs (well, a certain pig anyway) and other humans (well, two specific humans) have insufficient capacity to take care of a blog’s requirements while also working hard on ‘official’ matters ie the reason for coming to SE. We have either had or are to have work presentations and that requires preparation, even over weekends. Time must, however, not be allowed to linger, so here is the next instalment.
There is an area of coast here called the Höga Kusten (High Coast) that was covered during the ice age with up to three kilometres of ice; that’s a serious weight of ice. When the ice melted, the ground that had been forced downwards was able to rise up again and is apparently still rising, at the rate of almost 1cm per year. It’s now up to 250 metres up from where it was long ago and makes for an interesting ‘coastline’ as there are coast lines (rocky areas) evident up in the forests on the hills next to the sea. There is also an interesting split in the rock formation, presumably from the push up of the ground. RP loved that trip for its great views, walking in the forest and especially for the beaches.
