Cycling: Mørkadalsfjellet, Gåsafjellet and Bergesfjellet (28.07.2022)

Cycling: Mørkadalsfjellet, Gåsafjellet and Bergesfjellet

After last summer's successful cycling trip to Bømlo it was finally time for a repeat. This time with three new targets in mind and a tight schedule to follow. I again started by cycling to Strandkaien in Bergen, from where I took the high-speed ferry to Rubbestadneset. Here I started the GPS tracking and headed south along the roads to Langevåg and onwards to the marked trailhead for Mørkadalsfjellet next to Kalavåg. See the separate trip report for the ascent to Mørkadalsfjellet here.

Back on the bike, I cycled the short distance northeast to the unmarked trailhead for Gåsafjellet next to Vedvikevatnet. See the separate trip report for Gåsafjellet here.

The final goal of the day, besides getting back to Rubbestadneset in time for the boat, was Bergesfjellet. Upon returning to my bike I therefore first returned southwest before heading north to Berge where I easily located the marked trailhead. See the separate trip report for Bergesfjellet here.

Finally finished with the last of the three planned summits, all that remained was returning to Rubbestadneset, preferably in time to catch the boat. This would turn out to be harder than expected, as most of the previous activities of the day had all taken slightly longer than planned. But in the end I managed to arrive at Rubbestadneset less than 10 minutes before the arrival of the final boat back to Bergen.

In summary, another highly successful cycling trip to Bømlo!
