After first postponing the drive from Bergen by three hours in an attempt to avoid the worst rain showers and potential thunder storms, Endre finally picked me up shortly after 11:00 and together we headed for Masfjorden. The choice to wait turned out to be good one as the rain showers during our drive north were at times so intensive that the windscreen wipers struggled to clear the numerous large raindrops.

When we arrived at the small parking lot next to the road east of Vardefjellet the rain had however almost stopped and the weather forecast promised almost two hours with little to no rain. We therefore quickly left the car and started our ascent. Largely, we followed in the footsteps of GeirL and his GPS-track from 2016 which started by following the marked trail to Bergsviksetra before later heading off-trail towards the summit via various deer tracks. This turned out to be relatively straightforward and we arrived at the summit without any issues. Due to a cold wind we did not stay long before starting our descent along more or less the same route.

The final part of the descent was accompanied by more excitement than we had hoped for with the sudden appearance of a thunderstorm combined with a heavy rain shower. But thankfully by then we were no longer in an exposed area and almost back at the car. We still increased our speed though and even ran the final short distance along the road. We had planned to also visit Austefjellet, but given the current conditions we decided to play it safe and returned to Bergen.
