When a two-day meeting in Trondheim ended I stayed behind one more night such that I could include a short hike as well. The choice landed on Storheia and me and a colleague of mine took the bus from the city center to Skistua to begin our hike.

It however did not take long before we heard thunder rolling in the distance and we decided to find shelter from the accompanying light rain east of Vintervatnet. But after concluding that the thunder was not getting any closer, we left the shelter and continued towards the summit.

The light rain would come and go for the remainder of the hike with the occasional distant thunder but as we approached the highest point there was blue sky above us and even a bit of sunshine. After a couple of pictures we returned the same way and headed for the bus stop at Fjellseterveien, where it again started raining, once more with distant thunder, just before the bus arrived to take us back to Trondheim.
