Local hike along familiar trails, with the exception of discovering a new mountain biking trail heading north from Hellemyrstien and later connecting with the road to Eidsvåg. Lots of work had clearly gone into preparing this trail. Too challenging for my biking skills though.

Distanse:
16,3km

With all meetings suddenly cancelled due to the Coronavirus, I decided to instead make use of the perfect weather for a skiing trip in Steinskvanndalen, an area I had previously only visited in the summer. We parked at Løkjentunet, paid the 100 kr fee via Vipps, and from there walked a short stretch along the main road to Kvernavollen. After some initial struggles, we finally connected with the marked ski trail to Steinskvanndalen and could enjoy freshly laid ski tracks. We continued north to Øvre Kvanndalsvatnet (the last stretch without any tracks), before turning back and reconnecting with the marked ski trail, which we then followed for a roundtrip, finally taking us back to the main road. Again, we struggled to find the best route towards the main road, first making a detour in the wrong >>>

Litla Gullberg from Leirvik

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
0:42t
Distanse:
3,3km

Managed to squeeze in a short hike in between breakfast and checking out of the hotel. I followed various roads from the center of Leirvik to the marked trailhead for Litla Gullberg . The trail was initially very wet. Only around 200-250 meters from the gravel road to the summit though, and the quality soon improved. The summit provided excellent views southeast, but today rather limited due to the low-hanging clouds. Combined with strong winds, and a hotel check-out deadline to make, I did not stay long before returning along the same route back to Leirvik.

Fjelltur
Turlengde:

Distanse:
10,0km

When spending the weekend at Stord for a birthday party, I of course managed to find time for a short hike before the evening's celebrations were to commence. The poor weather resulted in nobody else wanting to join though. Securing a lift was significantly easier, and I was soon dropped off at the marked trailhead for Dyviksåta . From there, the marked trail could easily be followed all the way to the summit, which today provided relatively limited views due to the low-hanging clouds. There was a visitor register, but it was soaked and therefore I did not attempt to sign my name. Given the increasing amounts of rain and the strong winds, I did not stay long before returning along the same trail. Upon reaching the road, I followed it south for about 800 meters to the unmarked gravel road indicating the >>>
