Excellent walk on Husfjellet, perhaps our favourite mountain climb. The path started well and was mostly very good. The ease of access and ease of climb makes this mountain understandably popular. A woodland track then path led up steeply to open views across the fjord. With Husfjellet showing ahead, we descended to a wet depression with an almost impossible path, the worst yet. This could be avoided on the lower slopes of Litje Brusen, to the right. We were overtaken by a young woman who was impressively fit but rather annoying as she was on her mobile phone jabbering away in Norsk for ages. We let her get to the summit first so she could take her selfies. Meantime, we visited the side peak, which is a narrow pinnacle. When we went along the narrow ridge to the summit to enjoy the views, she was on the side peak, standing on the uppermost rocks, again taking selfies. We had to admire her confidence. We sat and watched two peregrine falcons at the top. A kestrel came and looked closely at us. We descended to the col and climbed Litje Brusen. The top 20 metres was only accessible by a tricky scramble, with dusty holds.
A golden eagle passed above us.
We could have visited Store Brusen as well, but I thought it didn’t add to the experience, just ticked another peak.
So we ambled down the path to Skaland for 1:00 pm. We did shopping and had ices.
