I started by taking the bus to Stend and walking southwest along the road to Hordnes. After a quick visit of Hordnes søyle I followed the gravel road north to Skinfloren in an increasingly heavy snow shower. From there I continued north to Storåsen which could easily be ascended via a minor detour from the roads/trails (now added as its own PB-element), however the summit did not provide much with regards to views.

After descending north from Storåsen I started my ascent to Sauhaugen, a recent addition to the Alle topper i Bergen list. At first there was a narrow trail/deer track to follow but as I got closer to the summit the trail got weaker and later disappeared altogether. By then I was less than 100 meters from the summit anyway and could easily complete the remaining distance. Also this summit had limited views and I quickly started my descent.

Reconnecting with the trail required some fighting with the undergrowth, although it is perhaps possible to avoid this by choosing a slightly different route. In any case, it did not take long before I was back on the trail to Grimseidvegen which I then proceeded to follow to Lagunen from where I took Bybanen back to the city center.
