Været var elendig. Etter å ha utsatt fjelltur de siste dagene måtte jeg bare ta en tur i dag. Fant ut at sherpatrappa også fløya og Bønntuva var en god ide. Det regnet, det blåste og opp mot fløya og bønntuva var det så vidt jeg klart å gå mot vinden men til slutt var jeg på toppen. Jeg hadde glemt vann (måtte kjøpe på fjellheisen) og hadde alt for lite klær på men veien ned gikk rask (jogget/fløy i vinden) og etter 2 timer var jeg nede igjen. Herlig tur og god trening. Neste gang håper jeg på litt bedre vær, fjellet her oppe er så fint når det er sol.

This trip up to Karltinden was my first "svart" ti på topp of the season. I went with my oldest boy and his friend. The mosquitoes were biting allready as we stepped out of the car so we started at a brisk pace and after getting through the wet areas they boys left me behind. I was sweating and panting and doing all I could to make it up the steep start. Eventually when we got to the "valley" between the two mountain tops i caught up and, after finally warming up, my pace started to increase while they slowed down. The last half of the hike was very rocky and for my boy a bit scary walking so close to the steep drop offs, but for me it was a fantastic trip to the top. After a small bite to eat and some wandering around we headed down. I took a little detour to musnestinden >>>

Since coming here a number of years back ive wanted to take our girls to see this amazing waterfall and bridge. After a relatively smooth (for our standards) car trip we parked at the parking lot and made our way with the mosquitoes and flies and other hikers (thankfully we had some bug spray to ward off the worst of it, sadly not the other hikers) to the bridge. We were just in time to see three brave souls bungy jump off the bridge (the last one was nervous, got one foot off and then the guy just gave him a nudge). Our youngest daughter threw a flower over the edge and we all watched the 20-30 seconds where it spun slowly to the canyon floor. This place is just amazing. There is so much water falling down the falls that you cant see the bottom. Its an eary and beatiful site. After eating >>>

While renting a cabin with my sister and law and her family the three boys (My son, me and my nephew) wanted to hike up this "famous" hole to see where the murderers Birte and her brother supposably hid out while trying to evade the law in the 1700s. The nephew had to tap out after a bit because of breathing problems (asthma). My son and I continued up through a varied landscape of small rivers, marshes and stones. When we finally got the the hole we were not dissapointed. It was suprisingly large (and damp) and fun to explore. Hard to imagine that they might actually have hid out here as it wasnt home sweet home. We only stayed a short bit so that we could get back to the nephew waiting in the car. This trip I will remember for a while...

After renting a cabin and watching my fathers funeral on facebook live I needed to get some fresh air with the family. This ti på topp was a no brainer. I had to carry our youngest daughter up in my arms as I had forgot the bæremeis at home and our oldest daughter needed a bit of distraction to keep her mood and energy up but the trip went quickly. The sun shone and we had a nice little stop at the top. On the way down we got to see a suprisingly powerful whirlwind that made a menacing sound throwing large amounts of sand at us. When we almost got to the car our youngest fell asleep so i was pretty tired of carrying her when we finally got to the car. Thankfully she slept most of the way home so the trip back to our house went by relatively smoothly.

Finally had the energy to try this one. Thought it would be easier to first go up Nortinden and then take Laukviktiden (didnt look too bad on the map): The trip up the unpaved road to the foot of the mountain was nice. Got to see som cattle and everything was green with the sun shining. Up the mountain was mostly walking into the sun so I didnt see much. It went quicker then I thought it would. At the top of Nordtinden I took a little break and got a bit to eat before making my way down the pretty steep decline until i had to walk a little ways before meeting Laukviktinden. The hike up to the top was pretty steep but the views were amazing. I sat here a while eating some more before making my way down and around the backside of where I came from. Walking down the valley I saw 3 moose (to adults >>>

On our trip to Oslo I was able to get a bit of time alone to make a stoplejakt/hike/helleristninger walk on the eastern side of Oslo. Ive always wanted to hike though here and today was the day. The weather was nice, my orientation skills were pretty decent (found all of the stolpejakt posts) and to top it off I got to take these two "tops" in Oslo. After finding all of the stolpes and making both these tops I took a trip down to see the helleristinger (the main reason for the trip, everything else was just a bonus). When the trip was over i hopped on a tram to meet up with the family, satisfied that I got a little me time while on our Norway vacation.

Helt vindstille, noen insekter helt nederst. Turen opp var enkelt for guttungen mens jeg slett (forhåpentligvis pga de andre turene jeg hadde tatt tidligere i uka med ei jenta i bæremeis) en god del. Men når vi kom på toppen var det fantastisk fint å gå. Vi måtte over litt snø enkelte plasser men for det meste var det fint og hardt. Ellers var det til dels vått i enkelte områder. Jeg kunne sikkert ha vært der oppe og godt en evighet men guttungen var mer målbevisst så det ble en rundtur fra varde til varde. Til slutt måtte vi ut på smørstabben for å ta inn utsikten. Det var virkelig et av de fineste områdene jeg har gått tur. Må tilbake.
