Rollandsoksen (Hesthaugen to Lønborg)

A revisit of Rollandsoksen. This time with a more direct route from the bus stop at Hesthaugen, first along roads and later following a nice trail all the way to the summit. From the summit I returned north, before following another trail east until connecting with "Den Trondhjemske Postvei" coming down from Kolåsen, which I then followed until reaching Eidsvåg.

Here I wanted to attempt a new shortcut up to Hellemyrstien from Eidsvåglien, where a trail was indicated on the map. The trailhead was easy to locate, starting with a short staircase northeast of Eidsvåglien 2, but the trail split numerous times with no clear way of knowing which was the best option. In the end I did connect with Hellemyrstien though, and from there concluded my hike by walking home to Lønborg.
