© Innika De Rosa Kari & I started our weekend off in Vannøya with a late evening trip to Tvinnaren. We parked by the side of the smaller lake and started the trail from the sign. There was a faint path that was marked with red dots, though the trail was quite meandering and difficult to follow. We walked in a relaxed pace and after we came up to Lille Tvinnaren (242) we followed the markers to the right and the terrain became quickly more rocky. From here it was well marked to the top. We had a small break to take in the 360 degree views and then headed down again. We followed red markers on the way back but ended up on a different trail with a much steeper grass gully it sounds like otto (Otto Lund) followed on the way up. Perhaps better as a morning hike, as the midnight sun was out in full force but we walked in the >>>

© Innika De Rosa Nok en nydelig dag med sol i Tromsø, og da ble det en solo tur til Buren før jobb. Aldri har jeg gått hit om sommeren etter fjellet ble en favoritt på ski. Fulgte stien rett opp fra parkeringsplassen, interresant å se hvordan terrenget er egentlig på fjellet uten at det er dekket i snø. Turen gikk i deilig fart og snart sto jeg med bare de siste høydemeter igjen. Mens jeg spiste lunsj i varmen på toppen, bestemte jeg meg at Buren fungere best som en vintertopp for min del. Avgjørelsen sto mens jeg sutret nedover gruspartiet. Men, etter man har kommet seg gjennom steinuren, terrenget ble så lettgått at man kunne løpe hele veien ned til bilen. Jeg ble kjempefornøyd til slutt :)

© Innika De Rosa We drove to the end of the road at Vassstrand and followed a decent path up through the forrest. 10 minutes later, once we got our sights on the summit, the path disapeared and we headed along the right side of Stortuva and the lake. Here we got to enjoy half an hour of shoe-swallowing swamp before we ended up battling our way through a heap of shrubs, bushes & trees. Once we came up to the small lake on the side of Stortuva, the terrain became more of the regular mix of rocks covered in blueberry & cloudberry bushes, and from here we gained elevation quickly to reach the summit. We continued up the grass renna gradually traversing to the left, but looking back we probably should have taken the ridge like hmsv1 (Hannah) did in her last report. Excellent views down Ersfjorden, out to Håja, Sessøya >>>

© Innika De Rosa Dette utsiktstopp og en favoritt på Senja når man ønsker en kortere tur. Vi hadde litt dårlig tid om vi skulle rekke fergen tilbake til Kvaløya så toppen passet perfekt i dag. Parkerte ved siden av veien og fulgte stien opp fjellet. Fin sti og veldig effektive høydemeter. Det ble dessverre masse tåke de siste 150 høydemeter så Lani fikk ikke nyte den nydelige utsikten fra toppen i dag. En fin tur uansett og vår siste tur sammen før Lani reiser hjem i morgen :)

© Innika De Rosa We had a day of sightseeing in south Senja & Hamn today and took a quick trip up Sukkertoppen. Excellent trail leading all the way to the top, really well marked and easy to follow. The last 50 meters of elevation got quite sandy and exposed, particularly on the right hand side of the trail where the mountain dropped steeply into the fjord. Lani’s fear of hights got the better of her here, but there is chains bolted in to help the scramble up. We walked down to a nice resting spot and Lani waited here enjoying the views over Hamn and from here I continued to the top. We ran down a decent section of the trail as the terrain was great.

© Innika De Rosa We set up camp at a small private beach in Steinfjord and drove to Hatten, which goes straight up behind Ersfjord. We struggled to find a good trail and ended up bush-bashing for half an hour through shoulder-high bug infested bushes before we gave up and headed back down to the beach. Luttinden sticks straight up from our campsite so we decided to give it try, though we were sceptical about the lack of trail. We started off heading up through uneven terrain covered in bushes again. We followed a green field up the mountain, which was a steady 30-40 degrees steep the whole way. Loads of bushes and rocks made for difficult walking but we gained elevation quickly and were soon out of the tree line. Here we found remenants of a faint trail which came and went as we headed up the final 350m of elevation. >>>

© Innika De Rosa Having been to Segla last year, I was keen to try the traverse over from Barden. Lani was luckily up for anything and we had incredible warm weather :) We started on the same trail as segla and followed the planks over the swampland to Barden. Saved us some soggy shoes. We gained elevation steadily and soon were on top of Barden with breathtaking views in all directions. Finding the trail down from the top and over to Segla was a little bit challenging, so we ended up walking down over some messy and uneven terrain until I found a way into the path on the ridge. I think I walked too far to the right coming down from the summit and should have stayed closer to the water. From here it was just to enjoy the stunning views and to watch the sun getting lower and lower in the sky as we headed towards >>>

We started our hike walking along the asphalt and headed up a faint path up Vengsøytinden. We were both a bit slow to get started over the heavier terrain and on again/off again trail. Soon we were on the ridge and the scrambling started. What a traverse! Wonderful, fun scrambling over some very exposed sections. The rock was quite wet on a few sections. Time flew by with amazing warm weather and sunshine. Soon we were on the lovely path on the way down stortinden and waiting to take the ferry home (with two pairs of sunburnt shoulders!) Thanks for taking me on an amazing trip and for wonderful company!! hmsv1 (Hannah) a
