Ørneberget, Rognåsen and Håmanen

Date:
26.03.2020
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:23h
Distance:
7.6km

Another short local hike in dense fog. The Norgeskart app refused to track the hike, which I of course did not realize until near the end of the hike. The GPS track is therefore manually created and may not be all that accurate. Should be close enough though.

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:01h
Distance:
19.5km

A Saturday with excellent weather for hiking usually means travelling to visit new peaks, but with public transportation out of the question due to the Coronavirus, I had to settle for a more local alternative. Some unexpected ice in between Ulskebjørnen and Nukane , but otherwise a very enjoyable hike!

Hillwalk
Duration:
2:01h
Distance:
8.4km

Local hike along familiar trails, with the exception of discovering a new mountain biking trail heading north from Hellemyrstien and later connecting with the road to Eidsvåg. Lots of work had clearly gone into preparing this trail. Too challenging for my biking skills though.

Litla Gullberg from Leirvik

Date:
08.03.2020
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
0:42h
Distance:
3.3km

Managed to squeeze in a short hike in between breakfast and checking out of the hotel. I followed various roads from the center of Leirvik to the marked trailhead for Litla Gullberg . The trail was initially very wet. Only around 200-250 meters from the gravel road to the summit though, and the quality soon improved. The summit provided excellent views southeast, but today rather limited due to the low-hanging clouds. Combined with strong winds, and a hotel check-out deadline to make, I did not stay long before returning along the same route back to Leirvik.
