Skiing: Fløyen and Rundemanen

Date:
17.01.2024
Characteristic:
Cross-country skiing
Duration:
4:05h
Distance:
17.9km

Left work a couple of hours early to enjoy the last part of a day of excellent winter weather. After the massive snowfall from the day before there was plenty of fresh snow. The skis came on just after exiting Fløibanen and stayed on until the top of Øyjorden (except for most of Hellemyrstien where I concluded that it was just as fast to walk).

Hordnesskogen from Stend to Lagunen

Date:
14.01.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:04h
Distance:
8.7km

I started by taking the bus to Stend and walking southwest along the road to Hordnes. After a quick visit of Hordnes søyle I followed the gravel road north to Skinfloren in an increasingly heavy snow shower. From there I continued north to Storåsen which could easily be ascended via a minor detour from the roads/trails (now added as its own PB-element), however the summit did not provide much with regards to views. After descending north from Storåsen I started my ascent to Sauhaugen , a recent addition to the Alle topper i Bergen list . At first there was a narrow trail/deer track to follow but as I got closer to the summit the trail got weaker and later disappeared altogether. By then I was less than 100 meters from the summit anyway and could easily complete the remaining distance. Also this summit had limited views and I quickly started my descent. Reconnecting >>>

Orresiktet, Langaneset and Peneset

Date:
13.01.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
5.4km

On a wet and gray Saturday I settled on a short hike with the main objective of visiting yet another minor hill on the Alle topper i Bergen list , namely Vest for Orresiktet . After taking the bus to Vadmyra I walked the short distance west to Hetlevikåsen where I easily located an unmarked trail down to Langaneset. Before ascending off-trail to Vest for Orresiktet I made the short detour to the real Orresiktet, a slightly lower hill to the east. Both provided limited views across different parts of Storavatnet but were not the most interesting locations. In order to extend an otherwise very short hike, I decided to also explore Langaneset, starting with a brief off-trail visit of Revekulten (62 m, PF of around 14). I then returned to the many unmarked trails at Langaneset and continued to its northmost point (along rather weak trails towards >>>

Nordvik - Krokeide - Fana kirke

Date:
06.01.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:10h
Distance:
12.4km

When my initial plan of going skiing was abandoned due to temperatures down to minus 30 for the considered summits, I decided to instead go for a walk below the snow and visit two minor summits on the Alle topper i Bergen list . I started by taking the bus to Nordvik and getting off at "Nordvik Nord". From there I followed the road west towards Heggvik where I located an unmarked trailhead at the point where the road forks for the last time. The trail was weak and probably rather wet at warmer parts of the year. I was therefore surprised when later coming across several red trail markers. It however quickly became clear that these were not leading me in the right direction (perhaps rather heading to Særvika?). After backtracking to the last fork of the trail I continued on an unmarked trail towards Hisdalsvatnet.
