Spjeldsfjellet

Date:
26.10.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
6.6km

From road 210, some ~500m from Landrovegen, we first headed eastover (following an easy to find and well-used path), before we then started to ascend to Spjeldsfjellet. From the top, where we enjoyed extra-strong winds (so strong that it -- at times -- was difficult to prevent falling over!), we first descended towards Spjeldsunnet, before we then turned back (without path, approx. from km 3.6 to km 4.5), getting back to the same path which we had used first (slightly beneath Spjeldsfjellet). All in all a nice hike in stormy weather! :-) Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Spjeldsfjellet . Web page UT.no from the Norwegian Trekking Association recommends another hike up and down Spjeldsfjellet .

Arnanipa in wet-stormy autumn weather

Date:
25.10.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:45h
Distance:
10.2km

While my son played some handball in Bjørnarhallen, this quick and wet hike unfolded in the midst of stormy autumn weather. The path up to Arnanipa was nice -- on the top of Arnanipa there was a strong wind, probably strom. The path down from the top was steep and very, very slippery -- not a good idea, actually, in the rain! The forest road, slightly above Arna, then was nice and relaxing for jogging back to Bjørnarhallen. All in all, a quick and refreshing tour! :-) Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Skåldalsfjellet, Herlandsfjellet, Repparåsen, and Arnanipa .

Liatårnet

Date:
18.10.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
5.8km

Evening walk, almost in the dark, and in the middle of windy clouds (but with less rain than expected!) -- it's always nice to walk up and down Pyttane, especially, if there's limited time! :-) Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Liatårnet and also Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Liatårnet .

Hike around Baugtveit with Høgstefjellet

Date:
12.10.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
8.6km

We started from the parking place in Baugtveit (to right, right after driving up the steep road towards Baugtveit) and walked first along Huseberget and up towards Baugtveitgotene, then around Midtfjellet, and up to Høgstefjellet. From the beginning, this was a very wet hike -- and slippery in some places (due to the recent rain). We then continued northwards, via Baugtveitstemma up to Tellevikafjellet. From there, we went down to Salhusskaret and up, again, to Nordgardsfjellet. From there we continued on the path and down to Hitland (lowest point), before we walked to road up, again, to get back to the car. All in all, it was fun to make this hike (several tops and still well doable without being too straining). :-) Selected photos are available as Google+ photo album .

Via Gråfjellet towards Sveningen

Date:
05.10.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
6:30h
Distance:
17.5km

We parked the car in Løyningdalen, right next to the street into Øvredalen. We then crossed the river (bridge) and continued into Stordalen. Following Stordalen, we passed by Gråfjellet and climbed up to Midtfjellet first. From there, we changed over to Gråfjellet, going a bit back in direction. From Gråfjellet, we then descended to Leina and followed the ridge in direction Baggeskaret. From there we continued along the ridge, first via Selsfjellet and then to Utløfjellet, before we started a quite steep ascent towards Sveningen. Basically, most of this tour was along the border between Os and Samnanger. After having almost reached the top of Sveningen, we descended into Øvredalen (on the trail which connects Øvredalen and Sveningen). All in all, this tour was quite long (> >>>

Skogsøy in stormy weather

Date:
04.10.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
5.3km

With the weather being quite stormy, this was an exciting tour to Skogsøy! :-) It's one of the view places, which I know and appreciate, where you get close to the open north sea, here in the vicinity of Bergen -- a place to return to again and again!
