Geitanuken from Saudalen
A revisit of Geitanuken from Saudalen in order to explore three new candidates for the Alle topper i Bergen list. The result was two new peaks: Olderhaug and Novvarden. Morvikavarden was also considered (32V 296251 6709540, vertical separation of about 13 meters), but I was not allowed to add it given its close proximity to Geitanuken, and instead added a new element called Morvikavarden utsiktspunkt.
Olderhaug could be reached via a short detour from the main trail and provided excellent views and even had its own trig marker. Novvarden and Morvikavarden however did not present the cairns indicated by their names. Novvarden provided very nice views into the valley south of Toppenipa and Toppefjellet and the summit could be reached by a minor detour along a weak trail. Finally, the views from Morvikavarden were rather limited and there was no clear highest point, however excellent views could be obtained just 50 meters southwest of the summit.
