Ever since I ascended Sætrafjellet almost two years ago, Ramnaberget had been the only peak left on the Fitjar ≥ 100m pf. list, mainly due to only being accessible by boat. But based on our recent successful boat trips to Storhaugen på Seløy and Skorpo, I was confident that we should be able to find someone to transport us this time as well.

In the end it turned out that Kjell had a relative with a cabin not too far from the island of Fonno and he would be happy to transport us there with his boat. Kjell drove south to Fitjar earlier in the day to meet up with his relative, that also happened to be named Kjell, while Endre and I left Bergen after work and met up with the two Kjells in Fitjar shortly before six for the short boat ride to Fonno.

Upon arriving at the island we were dropped off at Sørfonno and from there could simply follow the roads all the way to the summit. The gravel road turned into a slightly more muddy tractor road towards the end and there were plenty of sheep and cows, but neither paid too much attention to us. Excellent panoramic views from the large summit cairn.

We returned the same way and Endre just had time for a quick dip in the sea before Kjell returned with his boat to take us back to Fitjar. Here we said goodbye to the two Kjells before Endre and I returned to the ferry at Sandvikvåg via a short detour to Tuftalandsfjellet.

Takk til Kjell og Kjell for båtskyss til Fonno!
