Cycling: Børøyklampen, Lyklingfjellet and Kurebu (01.08.2023)

Cycling: Børøyklampen, Lyklingfjellet and Kurebu

For the third summer in a row (see the first two trips here and here) I returned to Bømlo and once more brought the bike with me on the high-speed passenger ferry from Bergen to Rubbestadneset. Here I started the GPS tracking and cycled south towards Børøya. At the top of the last hill before descending to Nautsundet I followed a short dead-end gravel road to an unmarked trailhead referred to as Falkastigen. Here I left the bike behind and continued on foot to Børøysåta and Børøyklampen. See the separate report here.

After returning to the bike, I cycled the short distance north and then southwest to the marked trailhead for Lyklingfjellet. I could probably have cycled further on the tractor road, but as it quickly got rather muddy, I again left the bike and continued on foot to the summit. See the separate report here.

I still had plenty of time for the boat back to Bergen and decided to also make a visit of Kurebu. I therefore cycled north to Goddo where I easily located the marked trailhead for Kurebu just after crossing the bridge over Kinnesundet. See the separate report for Kurebu here.

Back on the bike, I returned to Rubbestadneset where I arrived around 20 minutes before the boat back to Bergen, thus completing yet another highly successful trip to Bømlo. With this trip I also completed the Bømlo >= 100m pf. list! Presumably as the first (and maybe the last?) person using high-speed passenger ferry and bike as the only means of transportation..? :)
