Store Sundhaugen from Hausdalen

Date:
20.12.2018
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:49h
Distance:
18.1km

Store Sundhaugen had been on my list of potential hiking targets for a while. However it is not exactly easily accessible when mainly depending on public transport. After considering my options, I concluded that the best route would be to start from Hausdalen. This would include a rather long hike before finally being able to start the ascent of Store Sundhaugen, but in good conditions it should make for a nice hike. The only remaining challenge was that there were no buses to Hausdalen in the weekends. Luckily I had a longer Christmas holiday this year and on the Thursday before Christmas, I was on the first bus to Hausdalen (bus stop called Hausdal snuplass). I even managed to convince a colleague to join, at least for part of the hike. The Hausdalen parking lot was completely empty this morning, and in fact we would not see any >>>

Hillwalk
Duration:
4:02h
Distance:
13.3km

Ascending Hauggjelsvarden from Sædalen on a rather cold and windy Saturday. Getting back down turned out to be more difficult than usual due to a very icy trail, but overall an enjoyable hike that also included visits to some smaller peaks in the area that I had not previously visited.

Liahedda from Mastreskare

Date:
09.12.2018
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:32h
Distance:
8.8km

Started by taking the bus to Mastreskare (called Masterskaret on the map) and following the paved road south to Kleppe. Slightly more difficult than expected due to parts of the road being covered by a thin layer of ice. I managed to stay on my feet though, and soon arrived at the smaller road toward Skar. After passing the last houses (not counting the ones at the very end of the road) the road turned into a gravel road and soon there was also a small gate. On the other side of the gate there were two grazing horses, but they paid little attention to me as I continued to the small parking lot where the road ended. At this point I was a bit unsure how to proceed, as the direct route forward was way too steep. Ended up turning right (north) and ascending the ridge from there. Not a clear trail, >>>
