Byrkjefjellet
Started by taking the bus to Kvamskogen and getting off at the bus stop Wallemtunet. From there I followed the gravel road northwest, looking for one of the many trailheads indicated on the map. As far as I could see there were no marked trails for Byrkjefjellet (or any other locations for that matter) and the ones I looked at were all equally wet. This did however greatly improve as the trail turned north. Here it also connected with another trail coming up from the south (which I decided to try on the descent).
From here, the trail was overall easy to follow until reaching the small cairn southeast of the 996 hill south of the summit, which provided very nice views. The summit itself was however further north, and, as far as I could tell, blocked by a cliff. I knew there was supposed to be >>>

Hodnakletten
After reading several trip reports talking about coming across a marked trail on their way to Hodnakletten , I decided to do some digging and found this suggested hike at ut.no: Hodnekletten frå byggefeltet på Myking , referring to a marked trail with wet areas that could be followed all the way to the western summit of Hodnakletten. So I decided to give it a try.
Started by taking the bus to Myking, getting off at the last stop referred to as "Myking, butikken", and from there found my way to the trailhead indicated in the above trip suggestion. As detailed at ut.no, the trail started right to the west of the last house on the north side of the road, and I walked up the short gravel road next to the house hoping to there locate the start of a trail.
But instead of an easy to follow tractor road (which is what was indicated >>>
Anekletten, Jurfedthaugen and Vikåsen
- Date:
- 14.08.2018
- Characteristic:
- Hillwalk
- Duration:
- 3:21h
- Distance:
- 12.8km
Started by taking the bus to Stegavika and from there walking north along the road until turning east at Norlavatnet. We were now on Nordsjøløypa, which could easily be followed all the way to the summit of Anekletten . Anekletten provided excellent views, especially given that we were only 60 meters above sea level.
From the summit we continued west to the main road and then south along Toftevågen, and finally west towards the remains of the old wave power plant at Kalvøyna. Here we had a quick lunch break before taking a closer look at what was left of the power plant. Next, we headed south for a quick visit to Jurfedthaugen .
Upon reaching the road we followed it shortly northeast, before heading north, and later west, along the marked trail to Vikåsen . Also here the views were very nice, despite being even lower than >>>

Short local bike ride to test my new cycling gloves and to see whether my recent crash made me go significantly slower in the corners when going downhill. And I did notice that I was thinking more about the possibility of slipping in the sharp bends, but hopefully this will be back to normal soon.

Kolåsfjellet
Started by taking the bus to Lindås and getting off at the bus stop called "Lindås senter". From there I followed what seemed like the most direct route towards Kolåsfjellet and shortly came across the first sign indicating the path to the summit. First along a gravel road and later along what I guess can be called a gravel-covered trail. Overall very easy access. The summit provided very nice views, in particular towards the north and east.
After a short break I returned to Lindås and continued southeast towards my next goal of Lyngfjellet . Thankfully it was possible to walk along the old road, where there was very limited traffic compared the new road right next to it.
Lyngfjellet and an unexpected roundtrip
From the map, ascending Lyngfjellet seemed fairly straightforward, with a road going >>>
Stongfjellet from Lonevåg
- Date:
- 09.08.2018
- Characteristic:
- Hillwalk
- Duration:
- 3:43h
- Distance:
- 14.6km
Started by taking the bus two or three stops passed Lonevåg terminal to the bus stop referred to as both "Hatland skulesenter" and "Hatland US". From there I followed the roads southeast to locate the marked trailhead between Byrkjeland and Hovdo. The second half of this walk included a steady almost 200 meters climb spread over 2 km, reaching just below 250 meters above sea level before starting the real hike.
The trail started out wet and muddy. The fact that started raining did not help much either. However, within not too long the quality of the trail improved as it started to climb more steeply, and halfway up the mountain it thankfully also stopped raining. (The rain would return on the descent, but less intense). Not long after I passed by two small cabins and soon >>>
