Store Sundhaugen from Hausdalen

Dato:
20.12.2018
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
5:49t
Distanse:
18,1km

Store Sundhaugen had been on my list of potential hiking targets for a while. However it is not exactly easily accessible when mainly depending on public transport. After considering my options, I concluded that the best route would be to start from Hausdalen. This would include a rather long hike before finally being able to start the ascent of Store Sundhaugen, but in good conditions it should make for a nice hike. The only remaining challenge was that there were no buses to Hausdalen in the weekends. Luckily I had a longer Christmas holiday this year and on the Thursday before Christmas, I was on the first bus to Hausdalen (bus stop called Hausdal snuplass). I even managed to convince a colleague to join, at least for part of the hike. The Hausdalen parking lot was completely empty this morning, and in fact we would not see any >>>

Hauggjelsvarden from Sædalen

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:02t
Distanse:
13,3km

Ascending Hauggjelsvarden from Sædalen on a rather cold and windy Saturday. Getting back down turned out to be more difficult than usual due to a very icy trail, but overall an enjoyable hike that also included visits to some smaller peaks in the area that I had not previously visited.

Liahedda from Mastreskare

Dato:
09.12.2018
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:32t
Distanse:
8,8km

Started by taking the bus to Mastreskare (called Masterskaret on the map) and following the paved road south to Kleppe. Slightly more difficult than expected due to parts of the road being covered by a thin layer of ice. I managed to stay on my feet though, and soon arrived at the smaller road toward Skar. After passing the last houses (not counting the ones at the very end of the road) the road turned into a gravel road and soon there was also a small gate. On the other side of the gate there were two grazing horses, but they paid little attention to me as I continued to the small parking lot where the road ended. At this point I was a bit unsure how to proceed, as the direct route forward was way too steep. Ended up turning right (north) and ascending the ridge from there. Not a clear trail, >>>

Søre Midtfjellet, Lørdagsknausen and Blåmanen SØ

Dato:
11.11.2018
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:47t
Distanse:
15,5km

Walked from the city center to Kalfaret, from where I followed a (for me) new route up to Starefossen and onward to Søre Kamveien. Before Søre Kamveien connected with the main road toward Fløyen, I took the trail northeast via Heimtun to Fjellhytten . Continued north, but turned east before reaching the gravel road, instead following the old trail/road south, and later east, of the gravel road toward Blåmanen. This path is clearly not very heavily used anymore, but it could be followed without much difficulty. On the way I also made a quick stop at Lørdagsknausen , which to my surprise included the remains of a small shelter. I assume this small hill, with its great views, was more frequently visited when the old trail was still in use. Shortly after reconnecting with the main trail, I also made a quick visit of Blåmanen SØ , which could >>>

Solåsen and Hagåsen

Dato:
10.11.2018
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:16t
Distanse:
18,2km

I wanted to cover both Solåsen and Hagåsen with a single continuous hike, which seemed reasonable given their close proximity. But from what I could tell, all of the hiking reports on PB ascended Hagåsen from the southwest. I was therefore very happy to find arntfla (Arnt Flatmo) external report ( http://www.westcoastpeaks.com/Peaks/hagaasen.html ) indicating a trail towards Hagåsen from the northeast. Having found this missing piece of the puzzle, I got up way too early on a Saturday morning and took the first bus toward Haga, getting off at the last bus stop before Hagåstunellen (bus stop: Lønnebakken). From there I walked along the smaller roads before starting my descent up Hagabakkene. Just before the road started heading downward again, I noticed an unmarked trail heading south. After conferring with the GPS, I was pretty convinced that this had to be the trail arntfla (Arnt Flatmo) was >>>

Ulriken

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:35t
Distanse:
5,7km

Another go at the continuous competition at work for the fastest time from Montana to the upper station of Ulriksbanen, this time together with a colleague. Ended up lowering my personal best by more than 40 seconds. New record: 24 minutes and 15 seconds. After catching our breaths, we made a short detour to the summit of Ulriken, before returning to Montana.

Eineråsen

Dato:
04.11.2018
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:09t
Distanse:
3,6km

With strong winds and possible rain showers, I decided to avoid the higher peaks and instead headed for Hisdal and Eineråsen . After getting off the bus in Hisdalen, I walked south along the road for about 200 meters until locating the small gravel road heading east. The satellite images on Google Maps had indicated that this road ended just after the bridge, but to my surprise there was now a fairly new gravel road for another 300 meters. I followed the new road until it ended, all the time looking for trails toward Eineråsen. Did not find any, and instead started my ascent along what looked like a deer track. Relatively steep at first, but the main challenge was the many fallen trees. But by switching between different deer tracks, I still made rapid progress up the hillside. Closer to the summit, >>>
