Nord for Storhovden from Bjørndalsbakken

Short hike after work to visit Nord for Storhovden. After a short walk along the gravel road south of Tennebekktjørna, I turned south on an unmarked trail taking me dangerously close to the three-eyed monster of Kanadaskogen that Helwig discovered late last year. I therefore turned west and instead followed various trails/deer tracks towards the summit of Nord for Storhovden. Better views from the summit than expected, but I would still assume that this location does not see many visitors. From the summit I followed other deer tracks back to the gravel road, where the plan had been to also include a visit of Stemhaugen. But when the size and amount of raindrops started increasing, I instead ended up running back to the bus stop in order to not get too wet. As soon as I got on the bus the rain however stopped, but by then I had already decided to leave Stemhaugen for another day.
