Remmemstinden - opp nordøstryggen og ned Brastadryggen

Date:
24.10.2015
Characteristic:
Alpine trip
Duration:
4:39h
Distance:
12.2km

Dette var en tur jeg var nødt til å ta, fordi tanken på den var blitt til en besettelse inne i hodet mitt. Jeg og eldstesønnen hadde gått oppover Heia og et godt stykke oppover nordøsteggen på Remmemstind tidligere på året en gang. Da gav vi oss på det, for det var i bratteste laget. Imidlertid klarte jeg aldri helt å gi slipp på tanken på nå toppen via denne ruta, og denne helgen var jeg tilbake. Jeg var nå begynnt å bli såpass kjent i området, at jeg tok stien direkte fra Hellandseter opp mot Heia. Det som lokalt kalles Heia, er ikke et eget fjell, men bare en slags forlengelse av Remmemstinds nordøst-rygg nedover mot Hellandseter og Remmemseter. Det stikker frem et par knauser på denne ryggen, men ingen av dem har primærfaktor på mer enn en meter eller så, og derfor >>>

Til Remmemstind opp midtryggen

Date:
17.10.2015
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:49h
Distance:
13.2km

Fra Remmemsdalen er det tre forskjellige fjellrygger som fører opp til toppen av Remmemstinden. Det er nordøstryggen, midtryggen og Brastadryggen. Mellom nordøstryggen og midtryggen ligger Remmemsvatnet (724 m.o.h.), og mellom midtryggen og Brastadryggen ligger Brastadvatnet (627 m.o.h.). Denne dagen hadde jeg og eldste sønnen bestemt oss for å prøve oss på å nå toppen via midtryggen. Vi hadde en gang tidligere forsøkt oss sånn halvhjertet på nordøstryggen, og funnet ut at den var i bratteste laget; men midtryggen mente vi burde være grei. Vi la turen via Bjørnetua og Vardfjellet denne dagen, da vi tidligere hadde erfart at stien opp Heia kunne være litt vanskelig å finne helt nede ved Hellandsetra. Fra Vardfjellet fortsetter man bare videre oppover den fjellryggen man faktisk >>>

Bjørnetua og Vardjellet

Date:

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:23h
Distance:
8.8km

Dette var en tur søstra mi ønsket seg til fødselsdagen sin, og da var fjellene ovenfor Remmemsbukta noe vi hadde en akkurat passe nostaligsk tilknytning til. Vi vokste opp med farmor og farfar bosatt i Remmemsbukta, og pleide som barn ofte å besøke dem når vi hadde ferie. Den gangen var det langt mindre fokus på trening og almennhelse enn hva vi har i dag, og på fjelltur var det sjelden vi gikk lengre enn til den røde postkassa på trestammen ved Remmemsetra. Som barn hadde derfor ingen av oss vært hverken på Bjørnetua eller Vardfjellet, men jeg hadde vært på begge toppene noen uker før vi nå tok turen opp denne vakre høstdagen. Vi betalte de 30 kronene i bompenger, og kjørte Hellandseterveien opp til parkeringsplassen i Remmemsdalen. Derfra la vi så ut til fots, og gikk først >>>

Climbing Mount Ulriken on a Beautiful Afternoon

Date:
05.10.2015
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:58h
Distance:
5.2km

It feels quite liberating to climb mount Ulriken on monday afternoon/evening, when you've been on call and therefore confined to the hospital and your nearby apartment for the entire weekend. Bergen is a fantastic beautiful city at sunset and at twilight, by the way. And surprise, surprise, at the top of the mountain I encountered two of my colleagues (c'est une hôpital tres sportive..!).

Another Hike to the "Big Horn" on Godøy Island

Date:
26.09.2015
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:48h
Distance:
9.7km

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 the Southern Part of Mt. Sulafjellet.

Date:
12.09.2015
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:15h
Distance:
13.1km

On this day I had another nice hiking trip on Mount Sulafjellet with my oldest son and one of his friends. This time we took a different route from what we've done on previous occasions; one that offers an awesome view in a southward direction. We set out from the parking lot at Mauseidvatnet as we've done before, and followed the gravel road through the forest past the cabin called Taustuhytta and up to the one called Rollonhytta . From there we continued along the mountain path that we had used before, up to the summit of the island, which is called Tverrfjellet or Vardane ; making sure though, to take a few minutes even to mount the peak called Rundehornet, so that I could tell people that I had been there also. From Vardane we descended in southwest direction towards Sulabakkhornet, and then >>>

To Eltrane, Far West on the Plateau of Mt. Sulafjellet

Date:

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
7:20h
Distance:
24.9km

This weekend we had a really long hiking trip on Sulafjellet mountain. We started out from lake Mauseidvatnet, and went up to the highest point of the mountain as we've done on several previous occations; and from there we went on to the westmost part of Sula island, to a part of the mountain that is called Eltrane. To get there, we just followed a path along the nordthern edge of the mountain plateau that comprises most of the western part of the island. The path was nice, easy to spot, and not at all difficult to walk. We chose a different path for our return, however, as I had seen a track that was marked out on my hiking map. That track, however, proved to be overgrown by grass and heather, and it was very difficult to follow the path that had once been there. It seemed that this track >>>

Hiking to the mountains Vardfjell and Bjørnetua

Date:
22.08.2015
Characteristic:
Alpine trip
Duration:
6:02h
Distance:
14.1km

On this day Dag and I went to Vestnes, the village where my father grew up, and went hiking in some of the mountains of that area. We parked Dag’s car beside my grandfather’s old summer cowshed, which is still there; and started walking through the forest heading for the mountain. We reached the mountain peaks called Vardfjellet and Bjørnetua (705 and 516 meters above sea level, respectively), but the real summit of the area, called Remmemstind (1090 m.a.m.s.l.), we saved for another time; because that climb is really steep. To be honest, we actually did follow the northeast ridge of Mount Remmemstind up to about 1000 m.a.m.s.l. (Mount Remmemstind is 1090 m.a.m.s.l). At this point the ridge became too steep for us to climb since none of us had any real climbing experience at the time. >>>

On Three Peaks of Mount Sulafjellet with my Son

Date:
15.08.2015
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:47h
Distance:
16.9km

I went for a cool trip on mount Sulafjellet along with my son Dag this afternoon. We started out from the parking place by the lake Mausavatnet as we've done on previous occasions, and walked past the well known mountain cabin Rollonhytta up to the mountain peak commonly reffered to as Vardane (776 meters above main sea level), though the real name is actually Tverrfjellet or just Sulafjellet from Sula, the name of the island on which the mountain is located [fjell = mountain]. We thereafter descended from Vardane as we headed towards another peak, Grøthornet, located 650 mamsl. From Grøthornet we descended quite a bit towards the village Langevåg, until we found a rather steep track that could take us up to the mountain peak called Svanshornet (552 mamsl). From Svanshornet we followed another >>>

Hiking Mount Sulafjellet with a son and a daughter.

Date:

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:44h
Distance:
12.0km

I had on this day a really nice trip on the mountain Sulafjellet with my oldest son and my oldest daughter, aiming for the peak called Vardane. I also made the very same trip two months and two days earlier with my two sons and my cousin Savanna. On that day we had showers of hail and rain on the trip, and there was still a substantial amount of snow in the track. Even today we had just a very little bit of rain as we started on our descent back down from the mountain, but that didn't last for long; and the temperature was very different from what it was back in the beginning of june...
