© Harald Barsnes Based on the success of our previous trip to Masfjorden in February where Endre and I visited a total of seven summits, we decided to have another go. Once more we arrived via the cable ferry from Masfjordnes to Duesund. From there drove northwest to Ytre Haugsdal for the first goal of the day: Svelikulten . We parked at the crossroads at the end of the road and followed a tractor road north towards the summit. The tractor road gradually turned into a marked trail that led us all the way to a summit that provided surprisingly good views, although today rather limited by the low-hanging rain clouds. We therefore did not stay long before returning the same way. Back in the car, we drove the short distance east to Rambjørg to ascend Melshovden .

© Harald Barsnes I started by taking the train to Dale and from there the bus to Eidslandet where I got off at Olavika at the start of Mystervegen. After passing the last house in Mystervegen I passed through a gate, and later on a second gate, and continued on a tractor road that soon turned into a marked trail that lead me up to Leiro . Here I had hoped to locate a trail towards Storfjellet but only found weak animal tracks and before long I was simply aiming for Storfjellet and heading off-trail in that direction. Thankfully the terrain was easy to navigate and I arrived at the summit without any issues. Excellent views back down towards Myster and Eidslandet from just west of the highest point. Due to lots of flies I however did not stay long before turning my attention to the real goal of the day: Mysterfjell . Not sure where the name >>>

© Harald Barsnes I had initially planned to simply take the bus to Torget and follow Fjellveien home, but when I happened to meet lots of family members on my dad's side at Skansen I quickly decided to join them on their hike to Brushytten and Fløyen instead before finally taking the bus home from Bryggen.

© Harald Barsnes Due to a weather forecast with potential rain showers in the afternoon, I opted for a cycling trip to visit Svartavassrinden . I had passed by this minor peak several times but never been to the summit. After 33 km on the bike, I left it at the end of the gravel road and completed the final short off-trail distance to the summit on foot. I returned the same way for a late lunch break back at the end of the gravel road. The trip was then concluded by cycling the same route to Lønborg, where I made it home just before it started raining.
