Trip Summary
With quite a bit of weather outside, we decided to "just" go up and down Pyttane on Sotra. We took the car to Ekrhovdvegen in the very east of Sotra and parked near Nordre Stølen, where the service road up to Pyttane starts. We then walked up to the radar stations, experiencing significant weather on the top (strong winds, some precipitation). While it was nice to get out into the fresh air, we still did not feel like staying up there "in the elements" for any prolonged time, thus walking back down more or less immediately, again. All in all, this walk up to Pyttane is always nice (and easy), lending itself well to getting some fresh air without an all-too-long trip.
