© Innika De Rosa Jeg hadde egentlig lyst til å overnatte her oppe i teltet som vi gjorde i fjor høst, men kom på at midnattsolen hadde stekt oss ihjel hele kvelden. Derfor ble det en fort tur opp hit for å vise Lani den nydelige utsikten over Mefjordvær :)

© Innika De Rosa We had a day of sightseeing in south Senja & Hamn today and took a quick trip up Sukkertoppen. Excellent trail leading all the way to the top, really well marked and easy to follow. The last 50 meters of elevation got quite sandy and exposed, particularly on the right hand side of the trail where the mountain dropped steeply into the fjord. Lani’s fear of hights got the better of her here, but there is chains bolted in to help the scramble up. We walked down to a nice resting spot and Lani waited here enjoying the views over Hamn and from here I continued to the top. We ran down a decent section of the trail as the terrain was great.

© Innika De Rosa We set up camp at a small private beach in Steinfjord and drove to Hatten, which goes straight up behind Ersfjord. We struggled to find a good trail and ended up bush-bashing for half an hour through shoulder-high bug infested bushes before we gave up and headed back down to the beach. Luttinden sticks straight up from our campsite so we decided to give it try, though we were sceptical about the lack of trail. We started off heading up through uneven terrain covered in bushes again. We followed a green field up the mountain, which was a steady 30-40 degrees steep the whole way. Loads of bushes and rocks made for difficult walking but we gained elevation quickly and were soon out of the tree line. Here we found remenants of a faint trail which came and went as we headed up the final 350m of elevation. >>>

© Innika De Rosa Having been to Segla last year, I was keen to try the traverse over from Barden. Lani was luckily up for anything and we had incredible warm weather :) We started on the same trail as segla and followed the planks over the swampland to Barden. Saved us some soggy shoes. We gained elevation steadily and soon were on top of Barden with breathtaking views in all directions. Finding the trail down from the top and over to Segla was a little bit challenging, so we ended up walking down over some messy and uneven terrain until I found a way into the path on the ridge. I think I walked too far to the right coming down from the summit and should have stayed closer to the water. From here it was just to enjoy the stunning views and to watch the sun getting lower and lower in the sky as we headed towards >>>

© Innika De Rosa Summer finally came to Tromsø! We enjoyed the first day with 20 degrees this year with a terrific hike along Vengsøytraversen. We started our hike walking along the asphalt and headed up a faint path up Vengsøytinden. We were both a bit slow to get started over the heavier terrain and on again/off again trail. Soon we were on the ridge and the scrambling started. What a traverse! Wonderful, fun scrambling over some very exposed sections. The rock was quite wet on a few sections. Time flew by with amazing warm weather and sunshine. Soon we were on the lovely path on the way down stortinden and waiting to take the ferry home (with two pairs of sunburnt shoulders!) Thanks for taking me on an amazing trip and for wonderful company!! hmsv1 (Hannah) a

© Innika De Rosa Woke up to (yet another) day of sunshine, so a rest day after Stjerntinden was not on the cards! We weren’t expecting much from our hike up Rundfjellet but were really surprised by a great hike. A wet path at the start but a great path none the less, effective elevation gains and great views. We walked along the ridge and had a nice long lunch break in the sun. We saved 400m on the way down by sliding on the snow fields that were to our right during the ascent which was wonderful.
