After renting a cabin and watching my fathers funeral on facebook live I needed to get some fresh air with the family. This ti på topp was a no brainer. I had to carry our youngest daughter up in my arms as I had forgot the bæremeis at home and our oldest daughter needed a bit of distraction to keep her mood and energy up but the trip went quickly. The sun shone and we had a nice little stop at the top. On the way down we got to see a suprisingly powerful whirlwind that made a menacing sound throwing large amounts of sand at us. When we almost got to the car our youngest fell asleep so i was pretty tired of carrying her when we finally got to the car. Thankfully she slept most of the way home so the trip back to our house went by relatively smoothly.

Nordtinden-Laukviktinden

Finally had the energy to try this one. Thought it would be easier to first go up Nortinden and then take Laukviktiden (didnt look too bad on the map): The trip up the unpaved road to the foot of the mountain was nice. Got to see som cattle and everything was green with the sun shining. Up the mountain was mostly walking into the sun so I didnt see much. It went quicker then I thought it would. At the top of Nordtinden I took a little break and got a bit to eat before making my way down the pretty steep decline until i had to walk a little ways before meeting Laukviktinden. The hike up to the top was pretty steep but the views were amazing. I sat here a while eating some more before making my way down and around the backside of where I came from. Walking down the valley I saw 3 moose (to adults >>>

Ekebergparken Stolpejakt og hike

On our trip to Oslo I was able to get a bit of time alone to make a stoplejakt/hike/helleristninger walk on the eastern side of Oslo. Ive always wanted to hike though here and today was the day. The weather was nice, my orientation skills were pretty decent (found all of the stolpejakt posts) and to top it off I got to take these two "tops" in Oslo. After finding all of the stolpes and making both these tops I took a trip down to see the helleristinger (the main reason for the trip, everything else was just a bonus). When the trip was over i hopped on a tram to meet up with the family, satisfied that I got a little me time while on our Norway vacation.

Helt vindstille, noen insekter helt nederst. Turen opp var enkelt for guttungen mens jeg slett (forhåpentligvis pga de andre turene jeg hadde tatt tidligere i uka med ei jenta i bæremeis) en god del. Men når vi kom på toppen var det fantastisk fint å gå. Vi måtte over litt snø enkelte plasser men for det meste var det fint og hardt. Ellers var det til dels vått i enkelte områder. Jeg kunne sikkert ha vært der oppe og godt en evighet men guttungen var mer målbevisst så det ble en rundtur fra varde til varde. Til slutt måtte vi ut på smørstabben for å ta inn utsikten. Det var virkelig et av de fineste områdene jeg har gått tur. Må tilbake.

Dagens tur gikk opp fjelleheisen med hele familie. Første delen av turen opp til trappa gikk unnå på et blunk. Opp trappa var også ganske lett med Emma i bæremeis. Emily (5 år) har gått turen før og var kjempe flink til å gå hele veien selv uten å klage (litt på toppen da vel). Det var fortsatt en del snø i trappa som gjorde det vanskelig for små bein. Helt på toppen var det bare snø og dette var nok den tyngste partiet for alle sammen. På toppen ble det vaffler, reindsdyrburger, pølser og is og hele familien begynte turen god og mett. Nedover var litt mer vanskelig, spesielt hvor det var snø da det var glatt. Emily var sliten men gikk hele veien ned selv. Det ble litt skling ned på en regnjakke og på rumpe i de verste snøpartiene. Til slutt ble det en liten tur til lekeplassen >>>

Durmålsfjellet og Sørtinden

Planen for dagens tur var å parkere ved tunnelinngangen i finnvikdalen og gå via sørtinden til durmålsfjellet (mål er kvaløya >- 100 m). Tenkte det ikke skulle være så mye opp og ned men det ble det. Turen var vått og grått og beinene var sliten men det var fantastisk å vandre gjennom landskapet. Det var noen stier men en god del av turen gikk jeg etter terrenget. Etter et par timers vandring var jeg fremme ved durmålsfjellet. Turen tilbake gikk ca. like rask men mot slutten var beinene helt utslitt. Siste liten avstikker om til sørtind (for å få poeng i et annet "konkuranse") gikk var vanskelig. Jeg glemte av å logge meg inn på sørtinden og måtte springe up igjen noen hundre meter for å få logget den. Tilbake i bilen satt jeg på varmen og kjørte hjem. Fantastisk.

My first solo trip of the year. Ive decided to try and do all of the tops on my home island Kvaløya so I needed to find one that I was able to get up to without to much thrashing through the snow. The start of the trip was pretty dry, the middle not so much, and the top dry once again. The view here was pretty nice except that it started raining on the way up and pouring on the way down. I made a couple of detours on the way back to walk over a few of the other high points. Really nice area and hopefully Ill be back when the weather is better and i can do a bit more exploring.
