Såta, Kvamskogen

Date:
14.01.2018
Characteristic:
Backcountry skiing
Duration:
3:23h
Distance:
12.1km

First skiing trip of 2018. Started from the parking lot at Furedalen and followed the standard skiing route to Såta . Very strong winds at the summit so we did not stay long before starting our descent. First heading east and then south across Breiarusti on the way down to Furedalen. Not the best skiing conditions but overall a very nice trip.

Radøy: From Kolås to Rimmo

Date:
13.01.2018
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
6:16h
Distance:
21.8km

Morkefjellet Started by taking the bus to Namntveit (bus stop called Kolås) and from there walking west along the road for a couple hundred meters before leaving the road and heading northeast. This trail was unmarked, but clearly visible from the main road. There was however an information sign stating that I could follow this trail north along the lake all the way to Li. I followed the trail until locating the sign for Morkefjellet , assuming it would be easy progress towards the summit from here on. However, the trail soon disappeared, and I had to find my own way for a while. I did reconnect with the trail (or perhaps the sign does not accurately indicate where the trail starts?), but the trail was overall very weak until around 150 meters above sea level, were it crossed a fence and then followed a >>>

Langaheia: from Spelhaugen to Nipedalen

Date:
12.01.2018
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:13h
Distance:
3.8km

Started by taking the bus to Fyllingsdalsveien (bus stop called Skarphaugen) and from there walked up to Spelhaugen and the start of the gravel road towards Tennebekkstjernet. Immediately after leaving the car park I turned west, crossing the small wooden bridge and followed the unmarked trail to Langaheia . Normally this would be a very easy summit to get to, but today the trail was full of ice and slippery wet roots. The summit provided much better views than expected. After returning to the gravel road, the plan was to move quickly to the bus stop in Nipedalen. This ended up taking a bit longer than planned though, as significant sections of the road were packed with ice, requiring extra caution. This did however improve when getting closer to Tennebekkstjernet. From Nipedalen, I took the bus back to >>>

Tellnes skule to Døsjeskiftet

Date:
06.01.2018
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:15h
Distance:
16.9km

Started by taking the bus to Tellnes skule. From the bus stop I located the weak trail from the map, which I proceeded to follow west before later turning south and connecting with Nordsjøløypa. The trail was clearly not the most heavily used, but could be easily followed. I missed the crossroads where the trail towards Høgevarden started, but after a couple of meters I connected with the trail, which I then followed almost to the summit, with a shortcut towards the end. The views were slightly better than expected, but better versions of very similar views can of course be obtained from Liatårnet and Haganesfjellet . After a short stay, I started my descent, this time following the trail all the way to where it connected with Nordsjøløypa. I did not follow the trail all the way back to the bus stop though, but rather followed >>>
