Our day begins at Verdenskortet in Klejtrup where we are greeted by a very friendly dog
Vores dag begyndte ved Verdenskortet i Klejtrup, hvor vi blev modtaget af en meget venlig hund
Verdenskortet is a map of the world made from rocks in a lake. You need to go up the tower to get a good birds eye view
Verdenskortet er lavet af sten og jord i Klejtrup sø. Hvis man går op i tårnet kan man se det bedst.
It was created by Søren Poulsen who was born in 1888.
Det blev lavet af Søren Poulsen, som var født i 1888.
In 1943 when the surrounding meadows on his land had to be drained, his yachting harbour dried up. As it dried up a stone, which looked very much like Jutland (one of the main islands of Denmark), appeared. This gave him the idea to build a world of his own.
I 1943 blev den omkringliggende eng drænet, og hans lystbådehavn tørrede op. Da dette skete var der en sten som dukkede op, som lignede Jylland. Dette gav ham idéen til at bygge sin egen verden.
The task took him 25 years to complete, which he did at the age of 80! The torch is here held by the uncle of Tomas Anadya, Sven Eskildsen (89), who lives in Klejtrup.

We now run north towards the north west coast of Jutland
Så løb vi nordpå op til vestkysten på Vendsyssel.
As we are running a TV news crew happen to spot us. They film us and interview our Danish coordinater Tomas Anadya and his daughter Madhurima Iris. The piece appears later the same day in the 19.30 news on TV 2 Nord. Here is a link to the clip: https://youtu.be/Swq6VJh6QUk

There is quite a headwind as we run north
Der var temmelig meget modvind mens vi løb mod nord
Our final stretch for the day is 18k along the beach from Blokhus to Løkken
Den sidste strækning var på stranden fra Blokhus til Løkken, 18 km
Amazingly, vehicles can drive along the beach. We are very impressed by the level of social responsibility in Denmark. The beaches are very clean and everybody drives safely.
Utroligt nok kan biler også køre på stranden. Vi er meget imponerede over den store sociale ansvarsfølelse der er i Danmark. Strandene er virkelig rene og alle kører forsigtigt.
Cue Chariots of Fire music!
There is a good wind and the North Sea cheers us on our way
Der er god vind og Nordsøen hepper på os undervejs
The life guards hold the torch
Livredderne holdt også faklen
There is nothing like ocean water for soothing the tired muscles
Der er intet som havvand der kan blødgøre de trætte muskler
Another wonderful day in Denmark!
Endnu en dejlig dag i Danmark!
