Visiting 15 cabins south of Ulriken

Started from the bus stop at Montana and followed the normal route to Baunehytten and Landåsfjellet. Here I turned back and then passed by Sigridheim, Speiderhytten, Arneborg, Smaa-Gimle, Gimle, Lidskjalv and Noreg on my way up to Turnerhytten. The initial plan had been to continue to Hauggjelsvarden, but the strong cold winds made me discard this plan and instead start my descent, passing by Steinbu and Arken, before finally getting a bit of shelter. Årstadvoll, Djervhytten and Breidablik were also visited on my way down to Årstadveien.

PS: Note that Arken was rebuilt somewhere between 2017 and 2018. The cabin's appearance is therefore different compared to the pictures in "Byfjellene - mangfold og hytteliv" by Trygve Hillestad from 2016. Until coming across this information I was unsure whether I had visited the correct cabin. ;)

PSS: Steinbu has clearly also recently been refurbished and now ironically looks more like it's made out of wood than the stones indicated by the name. :)

Steinbu

Jeg var på Ulriken for første gang på mange år, men en gruppe amerikanske turister. Klarte ikke å finne steinbu og kunne ikke huske en brun, panelert hytte... hytten burde omdøpes tilbake til Pluto!

men fint å se at både Steinbu og Arken (som holdt på å kollapse) ble fikset.

Cabin, cabin, cabin!

Dear Harald, you are CLEARLY taking this (new) cabins business to new (or not so new, rather) heights! :-) Amazing! :-) Soon you'll need some new idea for a new list, I fear! :-) All the best from a slow collector!

  Thanks! I guess that having new easy to get to targets was even more motivating than expected. :)

  Glimrende! Tenkte det kunne være fint med noen litt lettere tilgjengelige turmål på denne tiden av året. Og så er det jo en god mulighet til å oppdage områder i Byfjellene man ellers ikke besøker. :)

    Liker listen jeg også.
    
    Full fart her ser jeg, eller du kunne tatt en og en hytte slik at du hadde fått 15 turer til Ulrikken :)
