Stora Stokkfjellet and Fjærhovda

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:17h
Distance:
3.8km

Short hike at Drange to visit two small peaks Stora Stokkfjellet and Fjærhovda , both on the Os ≥ 50m pf. list . Stora Stokkfjellet Started by taking the bus to Drange (bus stop called "Drange handel") and from there followed the directions from Kjell's recent visit to Stora Stokkfjellet , which also was the first registered visit on PB. This made it straightforward to locate the trailhead, and I shortly arrived at the summit. Although I was a bit uncertain which of the 3-4 potential summits that were the highest point, hence I visited all of them. All of the potential summits provided nice views, but the best views were obtained from the small cabin located in the westernmost point of the plateau, with excellent views towards both Krokeide and west towards the sea. From the summit I followed more or less the same trails back down to the main road. Fjærhovda The next goal >>>

Bruviknipa: From Båtaleitet to Njåstad

Date:
04.02.2018
Characteristic:
Backcountry skiing
Duration:
6:02h
Distance:
16.0km

Trip organized by the Norwegian Trekking Association . Bus from Bergen to Båtaleitet , from where we followed the winter route via Flatafjellet to the summit of Bruviknipa . After a long break at the summit, we retraced our steps (or should I say tracks) across Flatafjellet and from there continued north, including a shorter stop at Geitnipa on the way down to Njåstad, where the bus was waiting to take us back to Bergen. Excellent skiing conditions and beautiful weather made for a close to perfect skiing trip and provided spectacular views, especially from the summit of Bruviknipa. Highly recommended!

Nattlandsfjellet, Ramsdalsstrupen and Orrehaugane

Date:
28.01.2018
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:15h
Distance:
8.0km

Lots of rain and wind for the first part of the day, so I ended up with a short hike in the afternoon to cover a small recently added summit at Nattlandsfjellet called Ramsdalsstrupen . The plan was to continue up the gravel road and ascend Orrehaugane from the east, but this was abandoned as the road was packed with ice, and the trail up Sveane was used instead. The shortcut down to Landåslien ended up being more challenging than usual as the steep decline was today a mix of snow, ice and running water...

Tverråsen from Hatvikvegen

Date:
27.01.2018
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:10h
Distance:
8.4km

Started by taking the bus to Hatvik (bus stop called Holo) and walked up the paved road in the direction of Tverråsen . The plan had been to follow the road until reaching the gravel road, but after about 1 km I came across a couple of hiking signs indicating a shortcut (which I could also find on the map). It started out as a tractor road, but more or less disappeared before connecting with the gravel road. I then followed the gravel road until reaching the crossroads indicated on the map. The crossroads was a bit hidden, partly due to a small excavator, but it is located more or less where the gravel roads starts descending. After locating the tractor road behind the excavator, I continued northeast until reaching a second crossroads where I turned north (left) and later southwest towards the highest >>>

Randifjellet, Vorlandstua and Tveitafjellet

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:27h
Distance:
11.2km

Randifjellet Started by taking the bus to Førde (bus stop Førdespollen) and walked up the paved road to the marked trailhead for Førdesveten . I followed the trail towards Førdesveten and started getting a bit worried about the amount of snow. I was not the first using the trail towards Førdesveten though, so this part was straightforward. However, upon reaching the crossroads with the sign for Randifjellet this would all change. Apparently, nobody else had thought it a good idea to go to Randifjellet after the recent snow fall, and the trail was therefore not visible at all! I decided to give it a go anyway. However it quickly became clear that this was perhaps a bigger challenge than I had thought, and I was soon struggling with snow up to my knees (and sometimes even higher). Of the trail there was no trace, >>>
