Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:58h
Distance:
15.3km

Given the poor weather forecast for the upcoming extended weekend, and with excellent hiking conditions on the Friday, I decided to take Friday off and work during the rainy weekend instead. To take full advantage of the increased number of buses available on a normal weekday, I hopped on a bus to Tysse (or rather bus + bus + ferry + bus) where I arrived around two hours later. My first goals were Løtane and Myrbærstøfjellet , so I continued northeast along the road until locating the marked trailhead for Løtane. The trail itself was marked with blue plastic markers, making it straightforward to reach the summit of Løtane, which provided very nice views. I did not stay long before heading for Myrbærstøfjellet. First along the blue trail, and later on a weaker trail following the ridge. The trail more or less disappeared, >>>

Flatafjellet (from Fossmark to Dale)

Date:
31.05.2019
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:43h
Distance:
15.6km

I started by taking the bus to Fossmark, and after putting on my full raingear at the bus stop, continued another 100 meters or so along the main road to the marked trailhead. The trail was overall easy to follow as it climbed steeply up the mountainside, although very slippery due to all the rain, and within not too long I arrived at Fossmarksætra . The visibility was not the best, so I was happy to follow the fairly new trail markers onwards to Flatavasshaugen . I did lose the trail just as I was passing north of Kraksåvatnet though, but it was easily relocated. Due to the fog, I first followed the trail to Flatavasshaugen, before (re-)turning southeast for a quick visit to the slightly higher summit of Flatafjellet . No trails in this direction that I could see, and while Flatafjellet was not as flat as its name would indicate, it >>>

Nonhøyen from Flaktveit

Date:
30.05.2019
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:18h
Distance:
5.6km

A revisit of Nonhøyen . This time starting from the final bus stop at Flaktveit. The trailhead was unmarked but easy to locate, even though at first I was a bit unsure whether I was starting on a trail or entering someone's backyard. The trail followed the ridge and was overall easy to follow. From Nonhøyen I continued west to Jonsokhaugen, where the plan was to follow the trail indicated on the map all the way to Liavatnet. But shortly after leaving Jonsokhaugen the trail disappeared. I therefore turned back and instead followed the trail down to Liastølen. The hike was finished off by walking along the roads back to Åsane terminal for the bus home.
