Long trip and especially tiring over graafjellet since overall there was about 50% trail which disappeared already right at the beginning when coming off the dirt road. Obviously took a lot of wrong turns since ended up bushwacking and stumbling over steep and wet rock faces all the way to the top. Shorts was a terrible idea. On the way down from graafjellet there was zero track until selsfjellet where a reasonably long portion of trail was in decent shape all the way to utloofjellet. From there it was more stumbling through bushes and trees until getting above the treeline. Still no trail until finally meeting up with the Sveningen track approx 100m below summit. Had planned to run from Sveningen over the ridge back to my motorcycle but I am grateful for fog forcing me to quit and go down the Sveningen track instead. I was wrecked and the trail from sveningnen onwards was not a clean track suitable for running, it was just some white squares painted amongst a sea of jagged rocks and it would likely take well past midnight to get back. They call the Sveningen trail "krevende" on ut.no but the saddle from graafjellet to sveningen is a lot worse. Happy I went, no injuries, but will not be doing it again.
