On this day I had another hike on the mountains of the island Godøy in Giske Municipality in Møre & Romsdal County in western Norway with my son Dag. We had a really nice hike; the pictures above speaks for themselves. The hike is pretty much identical to the one I made on May 2nd 2015. For a short tour description, see my short summary on that date, and for a map, open the GPS tracking! We parked at Hestevika Parking Lot, from where we followed the mountain path up to Lake Alnesvatnet, which is located 250 m.a.m.s.l. We next followed the mountain edge westwards to a ridge that extends northwards from Mount Storhornet, and then we just continued along this ridge up to the summit. Net, we descended the rather steep path on the west side of Storhornet, and climbed up Mount Lesten, thus encircling Lake Alnesvatnet, before we descended from the plateau on which the lake is located along the same trail as we had used for the climb.
