Rundemanen via Brakhaugen

Before heading home from work I decided to try a (for me) new trail to Rundemanen from Tarlebøveien via Brakhaugen. The trail seemed to mainly be used for downhill cycling, although I did not see cyclists, or anyone else for that matter, this evening. Overall, the route can be recommended and provided some relatively unusual views. Even the very familiar antenna at Rundemanen felt different when approached from the southeast.
