Kjøroldenuten and Nosafjellet from Fresvikjordalen

Date:
09.11.2024
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 >>>

Blåmanen in dense fog after dark

Hillwalk
Duration:
4:02h
Distance:
11.7km

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

Date:
02.11.2024
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.

Kongshaugen i Samdalen

Date:
28.10.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
0:45h
Distance:
3.4km

A long detour on the way home from work for a quick visit of Kongshaugen i Samdalen - yet another minor peak on the Alle topper i Bergen list. I got off the bus at Samdal and from there briefly followed the road north in the direction of Bontveit before finding an opening in the barbed wire fence and could then easily complete the short remaining off-trail distance to the summit. The area seemed to be used for grazing animals, most likely horses(?), but thankfully I did not see any this evening. After a couple of pictures, I descended the same way and, given that I still had 35 minutes until the return bus, continued northeast to Hausdal for a closer look at a rather unstable bridge I had seen in an earlier trip report from Helwig . The bridge had not been repaired and to me it seemed safer to instead wade across the river just downstream of the bridge.

Rislikampen

Date:
27.10.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:26h
Distance:
3.4km

Inspired by a recent trip report by Bull , I decided to check out Rislikampen as a potential new addition to the Alle topper i Bergen list. After taking the bus (or rather bus, train and bus) I got off at Søylen from where I started on the trail to Furedalsvatnet. I quickly left this trail though and instead continued on a weak and wet trail towards Rislikampen. The trailhead itself was unmarked and if it had not been for Bull's report I do not think I even would have considered it as the start of a proper trail. Thankfully, the trail soon turned less weak, and especially the part where it headed northeast to the Rislikampen ridge was very easy to follow. Here the trail however pretty much disappeared and I was left finding my own way for the rest of the ascent. But as the direction was pretty obvious now anyway the summit was still reached without >>>

Sandviksfjellet via half of Stoltzekleiven

Date:
26.10.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:01h
Distance:
8.1km

An alternative ascent to Sandviksfjellet where I started on the route up Stoltzekleiven but left the trail around the halfway point. Here I instead followed a weaker and wetter trail southeast underneath the overhead powerlines before later turning north towards the summit when connecting with the trail coming up from Skredderdalen.

Løvstakken from Søndre Skogveien

Date:
24.10.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
7.4km

Left work early for a windy hike across Løvstakken with a colleague. The GPS had some issues along the way, hence some of the measurements are clearly wrong.

Lone to Flaktveit via Kvitnosa

Date:
29.09.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:21h
Distance:
14.6km

Sunday hike with my dad with the main objective of visiting the trig marker at Kvitnosa . We started by taking the bus to Lone (or rather bus, train and bus) and then followed the road to Borgo. Most hikers here probably take the marked route up to Borgaskaret, but we instead started searching for the trail to Gjøken . Our first attempt ended up on the wrong side of an electric fence, before we, after a bit of backtracking, passed through a gate and could finally begin the ascent. The trail indicated on the map was however not really there and instead it seemed like we were in a field used for grazing cattle. So far we did not see any cattle though and assumed that they had been brought indoors for the winter. After later passing through a second gate, this one open, the weak trail soon pretty much disappeared and we were left >>>

Store Ishaug, Trælhaug, Vetle Ishaug and Svolnos

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
7:54h
Distance:
23.8km

When Endre asked if I wanted to spend the upcoming Saturday hiking in Eidfjord, I of course immediately said yes and we decided on the area between Måbødalen and Simdalen as our target area, as it contained up to five peaks that neither of us had yet visited. Endre therefore picked me up at my place shortly after 08:00 on the Saturday morning and we started our drive to Eidfjord in an unusually dense fog that we could not escape until beginning the ascent up Måbødalen. We parked at the large parking lot along Isdalsvegen and from there followed a trail through a cabin area before connecting with the marked trail to Simadal. Even though it was already late September, the weather was very warm and I soon had to make a stop to change into shorts, and the rest of the hike was carried out in just shorts and t-shirts for both of us.
