Cycling: Neshamn

Date:
13.05.2021
Characteristic:
Bike trip - road
Duration:
11:54h
Distance:
112.9km

The main objective of the day was to visit Kleppavarden at Tysnes, and the trailhead was to be reached by bike. When I started cycling from Lønborg, low-hanging clouds were covering half of Askøy, and the clouds had still not started lifting when I arrived at Halhjem, where I was too early and had to wait more than 40 minutes for the ferry. When getting off the ferry at Våge, the clouds finally disappeared as I followed the main road to Søreidsvågen, from where I continued on the smaller Neshamnvegen to the marked trailhead for Kleppavarden next to Kongsviktjørna. Here I left the bike behind and continued on foot. See the separate report here: Nesevarden, Kleppavarden and Hovåsen from Kongsviktjørna . Upon returning to the bike, I still had plenty of time until the ferry at Våge, and I therefore first made a short detour to Neshamn before following the >>>

Tellevikafjellet and Veten from Salhus

Date:
08.05.2021
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:46h
Distance:
21.1km

The goal of this hike was to ascend Tellevikafjellet from Salhus. I therefore started by taking the bus to Salhus and the bus stop called "Slettebakken Tellevikvegen", which happened to be less than 200 meters from the unmarked trailhead at the end of a short side road that started directly from the bus stop. The trail was of good quality, even included several wooden bridges, and could easily be followed. At the third bridge, the trail split, and I followed the option heading southeast along the river up to Milastemma . Halfway in between Milastemma and Tellevikafjellet, I saw the tail end of the first viper, i.e. hoggorm, of 2021 as it disappeared into its hiding place close to the trail. It would not be the last of the hike though, but more on that later... After visiting both the trig marker at Tellavikafjellet >>>

Utapåegga and Skylefonnstølen

Date:
05.05.2021
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:54h
Distance:
5.8km

We parked at Utapåegga p-lomme where there was room for about three cars, and easily located the unmarked trailhead. After a steep start, we crossed an open field and passed through a gate to arrive at the start of an excellent trail that would take us up Utapåegga . This was clearly an old trail that had been used by the farmers in the area, something that became even more obvious when we passed by several unnamed ruins at about 250 meters above sea level. The trail could easily be followed all the way to Skylefonnstølen , and even seemed to continue from there towards Vossavardane NV . We considered heading that way ourselves, but in the end we decided to rather start our descent due to an increasingly cold wind. Throughout the descent we could enjoy the spectacular panoramic views towards the north. Overall, an outstanding hike that can be very >>>

Hike
Duration:
1:39h
Distance:
7.7km

Short evening hike to visit three small hills in Fyllingsdalen. Each hill was easily ascended via unmarked trails with trailheads that thankfully did not include any feelings of trespassing private property (as is not often be the case with these small hills in populated areas). Overall, a nice short hike in a neighborhood that I probably would not otherwise have visited.
