Furefjellet and Raudfjellet

Date:
11.04.2018
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:28h
Distance:
11.2km

Hitched a ride with a colleague to Mjåtveit and quickly located the trailhead for Furefjellet . The trailhead was marked, but Furefjellet was not mentioned on the signs until later on. Short but nice trail to the summit (although today a bit wet at times), which provided much better views than expected. Even though the views would have benefitted greatly from removing a couple of the many pine trees giving the peak its name. From the summit I followed a weak trail northwest towards Dalstøvegen. Clearly not the most used trail, but still relatively easy to follow. Upon reaching the road I turned north towards Raudfjellet . The plan had been to ascend via the tractor road starting south of the summit, but as this involved walking along the main road with high-speed traffic and no sidewalk, I decided to instead try >>>

Nipa, Brotavarden and Ryggjastykket

Date:
07.04.2018
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:32h
Distance:
12.8km

Started by taking the bus to Telavåg (bus stop called Tælavåg Nordsjøfartmuseet) and locating the marked trailhead just north of the two football fields. The trail itself was clearly marked with the familiar blue marks of Nordsjøløypa and I quickly arrived at the summit of Nipa . Nice views from the summit, but the gray weather reduced the visibility somewhat. From Nipa I continued north towards Brotavarden , still following the marked trail. I however turned west too early (at the sign for Nesvika, instead of waiting for the sign for Brotavarden). This resulted in having to find my own shortcut to connect with the proper trail to Brotavarden. Not too difficult, but pretty sure it would have been easier to wait for the correct sign. The wind started picking up as I approached Brotavarden. I therefore did >>>

Sverresborg and Fjellveien

Date:

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:22h
Distance:
12.5km

After yesterday's long skiing trip across Vidden I decided on a shorter hike below the snow and ice today. Started from Bontelabo and visited Sverresborg before walking up to Fjellveien, which I then followed southeast and returning via Skansemyren. On the way home I also passed by Hellen festning.

Stolåsen

Date:
14.03.2018
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:16h
Distance:
8.3km

Started by taking the bus to Førde (bus stop Førdespollen) and walking northwest along the road until reaching the tractor road to Langavatnet. I was happy to see footprints in the snow, hoping that these would continue all the way to the summit of Stolåsen . Shortly after leaving the paved road I spotted the first deer, of which there would be numerous traces in the form of hoofprints throughout the hike. In fact they were soon more common that footprints. At the crossroads with the first signs for Stolåsen there was only one set of footprints coming from the planned direction. I still decided to turn left (west) at the sign and thus ascend Stolåsen from the south. Less than a minute later I heard, and later saw, the second (and maybe a third?) deer, and with 2-3 deer spotted in less than half an >>>
