Utnehagen and Hellemyrstien

From a recent trip report by Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) I was made aware of a local area I had not yet visited, namely Utnehagen just north of Biskopshavn. So on a Sunday where the weather forecast recommended staying away from high peaks due to increased chances of lightning strikes (which in the end did not materialize), I took the advice and headed for Utnehagen instead. As an extra bonus I came across an old ruin and an accompanying sign indicating that the location had originally been called Venehaugen. After brief visits of Biskopshavn and Fagernes, I headed home via Skytterveien and Hellemyrstien.
