Røyrfjellet Øst

Date:
08.12.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:26h
Distance:
10.6km

With the recent discovery that Røyrfjellet Øst is in fact higher than Storafjellet , it was clear that this peak also had to be visited. Petter picked me up at my place and together we drove to Kvitingsvatnet with the plan to drive as far up the gravel road to Svartavatnet/Holmavatnet as possible. At the top of Renneberget we found parking next to the road and continued on foot. We probably could have driven further but decided not to take any chances due to the snow-covered road with potential ice underneath. Upon arriving at the small parking lot at the south side of the Svartavatnet/Holmavatnet dam we tried to follow the marked trail but quickly gave up as the snow was hiding most of the red T's and instead found our own way. Besides a couple of minor challenges we made it past the initial steep area and could from there >>>

Kinno Nordøst and Midtfjellsåta from Vistvik

Date:
23.11.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:19h
Distance:
12.8km

A return to Fitjar to recomplete the Fitjar ≥ 100m pf. list after Kinno and Beintjørnvarden recently had lost their spots on the list. I took the bus and ferry to Stord and got off at the stop "Vistvik vest". After a short walk along the road, I continued on the snow-covered gravel road towards Kvernavatnet , which turned into a trail about halfway to the lake. Until Kvernavatnet I had been following the footprints of two other hikers, but at the shelter next to the lake our ways parted and from there on I would not see any footprints but my own until returning to Kvernavatnet towards the end of the hike. When arriving at Svartavatnet I made a quick visit of Kjeringjo before following the marked trail towards Kinno, although with the occasional off-trail shortcut. The new highest point at Kinno, referred to as Kinno Nordøst was easily located and only required >>>

Rundemanen from Haukeland sykehus

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:56h
Distance:
14.5km

Left work early for a hike with three colleagues to Rundemanen . We hoped to catch the sunset at the summit, but this did not pan out, both due to a delayed start and the sun cheating and hiding behind the clouds as we approached Brushytten .

Hellestveit to Hope via Hellestveitnova and Storenipa

Date:
17.11.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:26h
Distance:
4.6km

After the recent discovery of a new peak in Lindås with a vertical separation of more than 100 meters a return to Lindås was required to recomplete the Lindås ≥ 100m pf. list . A perfect task for a gray Sunday in the middle of November. I started by taking the bus (or rather buses, three in total) and got off at the stop "Knarvik nord, Alver" and from there walked the short distance to the marked trailhead for Hellestveitnova . At the trailhead there was a nice wooden sign indicating several vantage points with views in different directions, but either I missed them all or the sign was put up before the trees grew tall enough to hide the views. The trail was marked by plastic bands that made it straightforward to arrive at Hellestveitnova, only requiring a minor detour from the main trail. I continued northwest towards Storenipa , still following the markers. There were a couple of hiking signs, but as none of them included >>>
