Raudlifjellet

Rain, mud and bushwacking. And getting semi-lost in the forest. The trip up was very fast with the old roads. Some bushwacking the last 400m or so, no trail, and some steep bushy sections which I wanted to avoid for the return so I went down the other way. Started raining like hell on the top. Met a big goddam deer who was as surprised to see me as I was. Headed down on the normal trail. Towards the bottom I took a shortcut to get back to the main road and ended up next to a bull who luckily got more freaked out than I did. Not my favorite trip and shortcuts are not paying off so far.

Long trip and especially tiring over graafjellet since overall there was about 50% trail which disappeared already right at the beginning when coming off the dirt road. Obviously took a lot of wrong turns since ended up bushwacking and stumbling over steep and wet rock faces all the way to the top. Shorts was a terrible idea. On the way down from graafjellet there was zero track until selsfjellet where a reasonably long portion of trail was in decent shape all the way to utloofjellet. From there it was more stumbling through bushes and trees until getting above the treeline. Still no trail until finally meeting up with the Sveningen track approx 100m below summit. Had planned to run from Sveningen over the ridge back to my motorcycle but I am grateful for fog forcing me to quit and go down >>>
