Hellestveit to Hope via Hellestveitnova and Storenipa

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:26h
Distance:
4.6km

After the recent discovery of a new peak in Lindås with a vertical separation of more than 100 meters a return to Lindås was required to recomplete the Lindås ≥ 100m pf. list . A perfect task for a gray Sunday in the middle of November. I started by taking the bus (or rather buses, three in total) and got off at the stop "Knarvik nord, Alver" and from there walked the short distance to the marked trailhead for Hellestveitnova . At the trailhead there was a nice wooden sign indicating several vantage points with views in different directions, but either I missed them all or the sign was put up before the trees grew tall enough to hide the views. The trail was marked by plastic bands that made it straightforward to arrive at Hellestveitnova, only requiring a minor detour from the main trail. I continued northwest towards Storenipa , still following the markers. There were a couple of hiking signs, but as none of them included >>>

Fløyfjellet and Fjellveien

Date:
10.11.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:45h
Distance:
6.6km

A return to Fløyfjellet to try out a (for me) new trail I had come across in connection with last weekend's shortcut up from Skredderdalen . After ascending from Vågen via Fløyen to Fløyfjellet, I therefore followed the above-mentioned trail down the valley north/northeast of Fløyfjellet where I at the end connected with the gravel road in Skredderdalen. Overall a positive discovery and a trail that I will probably use again in the future. The hike was concluded by following Fjellveien north to Munkebotn, from where I took the bus home to Lønborg.

Jordalsnuten from Jordalstunnelen

Date:
09.11.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:31h
Distance:
4.6km

After the hike to Kjøroldenuten and Nosafjellet , Petter and I drove the short distance south to the top of Jordalstunnelen. Here we found parking next to the road and followed a similar shortcut as other hikers have done in order to quickly connect with the trail to Jordalsnuten . This included a short off-trail ascent starting from just west of the tunnel opening but it did not take long before we located the trail which could then easily be followed all the way to Hyllandsskaret . While we had started out in quite dense fog, we climbed out of the fog long before getting to Hyllandsskaret and could thus enjoy the spectacular views. The views were of course made even more special by the dense fog covering the valleys below us. From there, the final distance to the summit was straightforward for more outstanding views. After lots of pictures we returned the same way >>>

Kjøroldenuten and Nosafjellet from Fresvikjordalen

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:55h
Distance:
9.5km

For the first hike with Petter in half a year, we drove to Jordalen in Voss/Vik to visit three summits that none us had yet ascended. First up was Kjøroldenuten . In order to get as close to the summit as possible, we paid the 50 kr road toll and continued up to Nedstedalen in Fresvikjordalen. Here we found parking next to the road and had easy access to the other side of the river via a bridge I had located on the map . After crossing the bridge we simply made our own way to the valley south of Kjøroldenuten and from there completed the short remaining ascent to the summit. This last part was steeper but did not present any real challenges. We however did not stay long before turning the attention to our next goal: Nosafjellet . Following the ridge south from Kjøroldenuten towards Nosafjellet included some up and down but was overall straightforward. The only challenge >>>

A hike after work with three colleagues where the plan was to visit both Blåmanen and Rundemanen , but given the dense and wet fog we decided to leave Rundemanen for a future trip and instead turned back at Blåmanen Vest .

Fløyfjellet from Skredderdalen

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:15h
Distance:
12.9km

On a gray Saturday I opted for a local hike including an ascent from Skredderdalen to Fløyfjellet - a route I had not used in a while. From Fløyfjellet I continued via Bjørnebu to Brushytten before trying a relatively new shortcut north of Brushytten called Rognebærstien, followed by a walk along the ridge between Nedre and Midtre Stemmedalen. The hike was then concluded by walking home to Lønborg.
