Vasstinden

- Turtype:
- Fjelltur

- 5:00t
På denne turen fikk jeg med en gammel vennine Hanna, som har vært på mange turer sammen med meg før i tida. Men sist gang vi var på tur var da vi gikk til Hamperokken om sommeren 2009. Da var det virkelig lenge siden sist og det var hyggelig at vi kunne endelig gå på tur igjen i det flotte Tromsø området.
Vi valgte å gå på en tur til Vasstinden som jeg visste var en kjempeflott tur og som var ikke for lang. Det er alltid bra når det ikke er mye daglys denne årstiden. Vi fikk stort sett oppholdsvær med litt sol og heldigvis ingen nedbør. Etter at vi hadde kjørt til Lauklines, begynte vi å gå opp vestsiden av fjellet. Jeg hadde aldri vært her om vinteren, men jeg forventet at det skulle bli nokså vanskelig å finne den vanlige 'sommer' stien for den var sikkert dekket av snø. >>>

Once again I found myself on a solo trip again because friends were either busy with other things or had problems with ankles/knees etc. Which seemed like a huge shame because the weather was so beautiful on this Sunday morning. Anyway, I had several ideas in mind about which mountain to visit next, but after some reading on toppturmania and kugo.no, I finally settled on a trip to Gjømmertinden. From what I could make out from the trip descriptions on both websites, there was a well-marked path for most of the way up, and that appealed above all! And there was the advantage too that it was easy to get to, being on a 45-minute drive along the very quick E6 through Lavangsdalen. With my decision made, I took a leisurely start from Tromsø and didn't actually leave until 10:00, but I thought >>>

A somewhat impulsive trip today. Yr.no had forecasted some pretty nice weather for the daytime, and I already had my rucksack and lunch packed and ready to go the night before. But when I woke up on this sunday morning, all I saw outside was grey skies and absolutely no indication of sunshine whatsoever. Slightly disappointed by the weather, I had almost changed my mind and decided to use my time to do something else instead of hiking. But then, while I was eating lunch at home, I spotted a small, but significant patch of blue sky amongst the cloud, and through the course of only 15 minutes, it had soon increased in size and spread over the whole of Tromsøya. Suddenly the thoughts of giving up on a trip had gone and I was in a very excited mood for getting into the car as soon as possible >>>

Wonderful day out on a mountain number 2 for this week: Bentsjordtinden. Probably also one of the mountains I have most wanted to visit since moving to Tromsø and one which I photograph numerous times, because of its very elegant silhouette against the Tromsø skyline. With me for this trip was my fjellsportgruppa friend Ilona. It had been a while since we have both found a good day to get out on a trip together, but fortunately today it happened. After collecting Ilona from town at kl.10, we drove out to Malangen via the Ryaforbindelsen under slightly cloudy sky but with no sign of rain, and it was a quick travel time to park up just after reaching Bentsjorda. It was a little tricky to figure out where the path(s) started from to go up the mountain, but luckily I had 'insider information' >>>
Lille Piggtinden

A very excellent day out. And my very first trip up a 'Lyngen Alp'. I have really only had one primary mountain 'goal' since moving to Tromso, and that is to climb at least one mountain in Lyngen, and this was the trip that fulfilled it, even though Lille Piggtinden is not really in the heart of the Lyngen peninsula. Anyway, I met up with two guys at ICA Langnes at kl.10 - Asbjorn, who I had met on previous trip and Reidar, who was a friend of Asbjorn's. Reidar drove us down towards the parking place in Lakselvdalen where we would begin the hike up. It was quite an impressive view of Lille Piggtinden from the entrance to the valley, and one which I wish I had got a photo of before before we started! I think it was more or less by the shores of Sørfjorden at it's western end where we parked >>>

Another opportunity for hiking with my friend Terese ( TerFlo (Terese Flo) ) came up when she had two days off work. Simultaneously the weather for both these days was forecasted to be fine and dry, so we met up on the Thursday with a plan to ascend Store Blåmann, yet another of (in my opinion) Tromsø's 'classic' hikes. It is actually quite a short trip, with less than 3km from the parkeringplass to the top of the mountain, so there was no hurry to start early and we left Tromsø at around kl.10 in rather tett tåke. Fortunately, by the time we had reached Kaldfjord the fog had been left behind us and we could see the Blåmann across the fjord under blue skies. It seemed like my dream to go back up the mountain with sunshine and good visibility might about to become true. So both of us were excited and feeling >>>

Hamperokken is I think, probably one of the 'classics' to do in Tromsø. For me, this was to be my second ascent of Hamperokken (the first time being on a super-summery day in August 2009). The opportunity to make a return visit came along when my friend TerFlo (Terese Flo) who I'd met on a previous fjellsportgruppa trip said she would join. Initially my plan was to take a hike up Tverrbotnfjellet, another mountain quite close to Hamperokken but on the other side of Lavangsdalen. But since Terese had not been to Hamperokken and neither had I for about 3 years, I suggested we take a trip here instead. On the plus side too, the weather was forecasted to be good for most of the day but rain was edging in from the west, so going further east would at least buy us some extra minutes of dry weather later on in the >>>

There isn't a lot to say about this trip, apart from that the views are really nice and there is a very pleasant path that goes up from Grøtfjorden all the way up to the climbers hut at the pass between Styrmannstinden and Zapffetoppen....I took this hike with a guy from the fjellsportgruppa,who I hadn't met before but who had responded to a message I posted on the facebook group. Anyway, he turned out to be good, friendly company and that at least made the trip a bit more fun. The route is fairly short, about 2.5km from the car to the top and the path is well-trodden for most of the way up. It was a shame that it got bit cloudier through the course of the day, because it had started off so bright and sunny when we'd left Tromsø, but even with the cloud the summit views were excellent, and >>>

Third official day of summer - and possibly the final one of the year for Tromsø! Seemed like too good an opportunity to miss another potentially great day of hiking, so I emailed the admin staff and told them I was taking it as a holiday. Destination: Ringvassøya. Peak: Skulgamtinden. Why? Well, firstly, I can see Ringvassøya from my bedroom window every time I pull back the blinds, and moreover, I see Skulgamtinden from my apartment as well. I've seen it through last autumn, winter, the spring and the summer. Every hour of the day it sits proudly above the fjord, and I am quite ashamed to say that even having lived in Tromsø for nearly a year now I still have not paid a visit to Ringvassøya, even though it is only a short drive away. So today I set out to achieve two goals - to visit >>>

After a not-so-good night sleep at Mefjord Brygge due to some unexpected music festivities in the early morning, my mum was not feeling in such a good mood for another hike. It was pretty unfortunate because the morning was bright and the skies were blue. It was a perfect sunny day for getting the amazing views that I'd hoped we'd get on the hike to Keipen the previous day. Since we also needed to get the 1700 ferry from Botnhamn it also meant that there was not a lot of time to play with....so we planned to drive to Skaland, where my mum would take things easy and stroll along the beach and have a look around Berg village, and I would take a quick hike up to Husfjellet and meet her again for lunch. That way both of us would be happy! It was a gorgeous drive from Mefjordvaer, and we passed >>>
