I was lucky enough to benefit from the kind gift of a travel voucher from my mother in 2002. She had won this in a crossword competition as was her wont. I then asked a couple of friends if they'd fancy a subsidised trip to Lofoten and without hesitation I got two yeses. This particular hill, Hermansdalstinden, was tackled towards the end of our ten or so days in north Norway and by that time we were a party of two as the third person had to return to Aberdeen the night before. We actually started the day from the hut Munkebu which gave us a 400m start. However, this was still a fair old hike, particularly as we weren't clear on the route up. In fact we went up a very steep gully around the half way point and realised at the top that this was not the normal route as there were fixed ropes >>>
