After almost 4 days of rainy weather, yet another window of hiking opportunity was forecasted for Friday evening and Saturday morning. I was sceptical of course, since the previous 'sunny' spell had not come when it had been forecasted. As things turned out, Friday was looking decidedly un-sunny until the evening...... then within about 1/2 hour the skies over Tromsø rapidly changed from overcast to clear and blue; we had a trip. My fiends Kristina and Ka Yan, who are also doing the Ti på Topp list, came up with an idea to take a night trip to Tromsdalstinden, and meet up at kl. 21 to start. Sounded quite an enticing idea to me, and I agreed. And that's how it started. At kl.21 we left the parking space in Tromsdalen and began the slightly tedious march up the forest track. It was quite a >>>

A bit of a spontaneous trip, this one. I was woken up by bright sunshine shining through my bedroom window at about 2am on the monday morning, after having had a good day with mixed weather on Bakaromntinden the previous evening.....the blue skies were not expected after yr's forecast had been quite remarkably inaccurate for the whole of the week before! So I decided at that point (still a little half asleep) that in a few short hours I would get myself back out on a hike again and enjoy the apparently nice interval of sunshine. Fortunately when I actually got out of bed properly at 6am it was still sunny, so I got by rucksack ready for a quick trip before work. Stor-Kjølen seemed like a good option. It's really easy ground, almost flat for most of the way up because the height gain is spread >>>

Litje Blåmannen

Litje Blåmannen is something of a local monument to Tromsø, in my opinion. Every day I walk to work it is there, plonked straight in front of me and sitting quietly behind the Kvaløya bridge. This mountain has been on my to-do list for a while, simply because I see it all the time and have become a little fixated climbing the mountains I see on a regular basis. Well, today, despite being Friday 13th, seemed like the ideal day to have a go at it. With yr.no forecasting a week of continuous rain from the weekend onwards, I had decided to prioritise the topptur-ing and spend as much time in the remainder of the sunshine as possible. It was a quick drive from Hamna to Håkoybotn, about 20 minutes, and when I arrived into the car park by the ungdomshuset I was the first car there. The great thing >>>

This trip was initiated rather spontaneously during the lunch time at Nordlysobservatoriet with my friend Stine. Since it was such a nice sunny day, I was feeling extremely compelled to be outdoors and in the mountains again - but not on my own. I thought I would try my luck to interest some people to join me for an after-work trip and make a suggestion while people were in the foyer eating lunch. I wasn't all that hopeful, but to my amazement, my friend Stine actually agreed to come with me, which was extremely pleasing! So all of a sudden we had a plan to do another of the Ti på Topp trips, and I made the suggestion to go to Tverrfjellet since it was nestled right amongst the impressive string of peaks on the northern side of Kattfjord - Blåskredtinden, Middagstind, Skitntind and Storsteinnestind. >>>

Segla is a beautifully-crafted peak along the east side of Mefjord. Its all in the name. You can't help but be mesmerized by its distinctive shape when seen from one of the other nearby mountains. For me, my first encounter with this stunner was on Breidtinden on the day before we went on the hike up Segla. So anyway, this was going to be our Sunday afternoon stroll in the mountains on the second day of the very excellent weekend trip to Senja with the fjellsportgruppa i Troms. It all started with a very laid back start, pulling back the zipper on the tent door and being greeted to the most wonderful sight of the beach at Ersfjord. It was all a bit too good to be true, and my spirits were only marginally dampened by the fact I had to drink instant coffee on this morning because I didn't have >>>

Today marked the first day of an incredible weekend in the mountains on Senja, and what better company to spend it with than the fjellsportgruppa i Troms? The weekend kicked off with a relatively early start meeting up at ICA Langnes to split into 3 cars. Yngve and Fredrik were both leading the trip together, and on first meeting them I already had the impression that this was going to be a trip with a lot of laughs and good humour. I was not wrong. Other than them, there were two other guys - Gregers and Werner, and two other girls joining in Tromsø, a Czech PhD student called Ilona and a just-graduated student named Solveig who had just finished her Bachelor studies up on Svalbard and was 'passing through' Tromsø on her way back down to Oslo for the summer. Us girls got together in my car >>>

Nordtinden

This evening my friends Lene Østvand and Mona Kaupang were joining me on a fellestur to Nordtinden, organised by Ti på Topp. It wasn't such promising weather when we started to leave Tromsø, and the mountains on Kvaløya were looking decidedly damp! But in honesty, I think I was the more pessimistic one of the three, and both Lene and Mona seemed quite upbeat about a good trip being on the cards. As we drove up on the Rv58 along the east side of Storkjølen though, a slightly brief but heavy shower of rain dispersed the hopes a little. But it got better, after passing through the tunnel and driving toward Skulsfjord, where we were meeting the rest of the group, we could actually see some patches of broken cloud and some mountains again. So hope was still there! We were supposed to be meeting >>>

Fjellsportgruppa in Tromso arranged this trip to Store Russetinden, the first hike of the year to begin the summer season. I was very excited to not only be joining a group of new people and have their company, but also to be making an ascent of one of the most beautiful mountains I've ever seen from the E8. So we met up at Nansenplass at 0900 and had a short briefing from the turleder Harald before making the road trip down to Nordkjosbotn in a convoy of 4 cars. I had in my car 3 other girls; Mona from Trondheim, Maja from Denmark and Lena who was from the Balsfjord area (quite a local!). We had a nice chat while driving through a sunlit Ramfjord, and then through Lavangsdalen toward Balsfjord. All the familiar mountains were starting to come into view for me, but the difference was on this >>>

This was a really great evening trip after work, one that nearly didn't happen because it had been a bit of a rainy day and I was thinking to postpone the hike. Fortunately, neither Ane or myself decided to call each other in the end and we met up as planned, at the K1 car park. We took my car out onto Kvaloya and took the road around the northern side of the island towards Tromvik. Up until then the road surface had some bumps but then between Tromvik and Rekvik it turned to gravel instead, so it took a long time just to drive those few kiometres further to Rekvik, where we were starting the hike from. So, straight out of the car it was cool but not cold, and it was straight up the mountain from there. It was a well-marked trail through the forest on the lower part of Skamtinden, which helped >>>

The weather was forecasted to be 12 degrees and sunshine, so I seized the moment and decided to go on a trip instead of going to work! I decided to return to Andersdaltinden, since I had not made the summit on the previous attempt almost 2 weeks earlier because of really strong winds on the mountain. Parked up at about 0915 at the bottom near the information area and began the hike up through the forests. The snow was, as I expected, super soft but seemed quite stable. But it was mega hard work, and many times during the first half hour of the hike I didn't think I would bother going much farther before giving up on the mission! However, I had my mp3 player banging out some great tunes and since there was no hurry to get back I made a point of persevering with the hike and just thought of the >>>
