Furefjellet and Raudfjellet

Dato:
11.04.2018
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:28t
Distanse:
11,2km

Hitched a ride with a colleague to Mjåtveit and quickly located the trailhead for Furefjellet . The trailhead was marked, but Furefjellet was not mentioned on the signs until later on. Short but nice trail to the summit (although today a bit wet at times), which provided much better views than expected. Even though the views would have benefitted greatly from removing a couple of the many pine trees giving the peak its name. From the summit I followed a weak trail northwest towards Dalstøvegen. Clearly not the most used trail, but still relatively easy to follow. Upon reaching the road I turned north towards Raudfjellet . The plan had been to ascend via the tractor road starting south of the summit, but as this involved walking along the main road with high-speed traffic and no sidewalk, I decided to instead try >>>

Nipa, Brotavarden and Ryggjastykket

Dato:
07.04.2018
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:32t
Distanse:
12,8km

Started by taking the bus to Telavåg (bus stop called Tælavåg Nordsjøfartmuseet) and locating the marked trailhead just north of the two football fields. The trail itself was clearly marked with the familiar blue marks of Nordsjøløypa and I quickly arrived at the summit of Nipa . Nice views from the summit, but the gray weather reduced the visibility somewhat. From Nipa I continued north towards Brotavarden , still following the marked trail. I however turned west too early (at the sign for Nesvika, instead of waiting for the sign for Brotavarden). This resulted in having to find my own shortcut to connect with the proper trail to Brotavarden. Not too difficult, but pretty sure it would have been easier to wait for the correct sign. The wind started picking up as I approached Brotavarden. I therefore did >>>

Skiing at Fløyen after work. Started in nice sunny weather but ended with wet snow from above. Lots of new snow from the night before, but most of it had melted during the day, so not the best conditions for skiing, but still an enjoyable trip.

Torstadnakken

Dato:
30.03.2018
Turtype:
Fjellskitur
Turlengde:
6:27t
Distanse:
19,8km

Given that the recent attempt to reach Torstadnakken had to be abandoned due to bad weather it was time for another try. This time with perfect skiing conditions: blue skies and close to no wind. (The only exception being the first stretch up from Svedal where there was more ice than snow. This did improve somewhat for the return though.) We followed the standard route from Svedal up to Grøssete , where the views were much better than last time, and after a quick lunch we continued along the tracks of previous skiers towards Torstadnakken , enjoying the excellent views in all directions. After visiting all of the three cairns at Torstadnakken, we quickly removed the climbing skins and started our descent, deciding to delay our break as it was now getting rather cold at the summit area. There would be more than enough continuous downhill skiing before >>>

Kambafjellet and Blåfjellet

Dato:
28.03.2018
Turtype:
Fjellskitur
Turlengde:
2:32t
Distanse:
12,1km

Started by taking the ski lift from Rindabotn and from the top followed the tracks of previous skiers across Kambafjellet towards Blåfjellet . Upon reaching the large cairn at Blåfjellet I continued east towards the real slightly taller summit. No tracks to follow here. After removing the climbing skins I made my own way down to the Red Cross cabin (called Britabu) located right next to Britastein, before following the standard skiing trail back down to Rindabotn. Overall an excellent trip that can be highly recommended!

Around Fjærlandssetvatnet

Dato:

Turtype:
Langrennstur
Turlengde:
3:29t
Distanse:
17,0km

Followed the standard skiing trail from Rindabotn around Fjærlandssetvatnet. The only detour was an attempt to reach Dyrhovden , which in the end had to be abandoned due to not having enough time to find a safe ascent to the summit.
