My second unsuccessful attempt to find ramsons (ramsløk) at its northernmost natural site at Ramslia in Nord Trøndelag (on the other side of Trondheimsfjord from my place). Neverthless, it was a great day out with one of my ex-OCEANOR work colleagues Jarle Tronstad who owns an old mountain farm in the area!
Starting from an old farm by the road
Walking up from the road there were masses of ostrich fern (strutseving), here with Alpine sow thistle / turt (Cicerbita alpina)
