With a weather forecast including potential afternoon thunderstorms, I decided to stay relatively local and at low altitude. The result was a return to Hausdalen for a visit of yet another minor peak on the Alle topper i Bergen list. After getting off the bus at "Samdal sag" I shortly continued north along the main road before following the tractor road to south towards Ulvvatnet.

Just before the bridge at the northwestern end of Ulvvatnet, I left the tractor road and followed a deer track across the stream to connect with an older tractor road took me very close to Skora. All that remained was a short off-trail ascent to the highest point.

I descended via various deer tracks until reconnecting with the old tractor road and then followed the same route back to the main road. With rolling thunder in the distance, I also made quick detours to Rustene (now added as it's own PB-element) and Straumsrinden, before returning to the bus stop just as the first rain drops started falling.
