After my solo ascent of Blyfjell, I was picked up by Endre at Gullbrå and we drove the short distance west to Ekse where we found parking next to the suspension bridge across Ekso. The bridge made for easy access to the trail starting on the other side of the river, which we proceeded to follow up Tjørnadalen before later heading off-trail to the summit.

The summit was reached without any issues and provided great panoramic views. Before descending along the same route we had a short break celebrating that I had now completed both Vaksdal ≥ 100m pf. and Nordhordland PF >= 100m!

Towards the end of the hike the trail passed by a picturesque small pond and Endre of course could not resist going for a swim. This was apparently not enough however and he also later decided not to use the bridge to get back to the car but rather walk across the river, which he managed with only minor concerns along the way when the river turned deeper than he had expected. Takk for turen, Endre!

    Gratulerer med fullføring av 2 nye lister. Tror du må ha Endre i bånd neste gang dere går på tur slik at han ikke roter seg ut i farlige elvestryk. På bildet ser det ut som han står ute i elven å fisker.
