Hetlebakksåta and Birkelandsnipa from Ervika

Date:
05.12.2020
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:43h
Distance:
17.9km

A revisit of Hetlebakksåta and Birkelandsnipa but this time starting from Ervika, or rather from the final bus stop at Breistein, and visiting both peaks on the same hike. The marked trailhead at the start of Ervikskaret was easily located. However, when the trail split into a blue trail and an orange trail, I first began on the orange trail, but quickly returned and followed the blue trail instead as it seemed to head more in the direction I wanted to go. When reaching the top of Ervikskaret, I made a quick detour to Erviknipa before completing the ascent to Breisteinsåta and onwards to Hetlebakksåta . From Hetlebakksåta I followed the unmarked trail down to Hetlebakka, making a quick stop at the small hill of Svartafjellet on the way. Upon reaching Hetlebakka, I followed in the footsteps of samasplund (Sam Asplund) and thus made a short detour via the smaller ridge northeast of Birkelandsnipa >>>

Skagen, Håkeberget and Veten

Date:
22.11.2020
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:35h
Distance:
15.7km

Another hike in Åsane with the main goal of visiting Håkeberget . A minor peak I had passed several times but never bothered to go to the actual summit. Strong winds today as well, almost making it difficult to stand upright at the summit of Veten . I went for a slightly unusual descent from Veten, which was an interesting alternative to the normal route, but as can be seen from the GPS-track it was clearly not a shortcut. My choice to stay on the right-hand side of the fence towards the end did not help though, and resulted in an extra detour.

Dystingen and Flatafjellet

Date:
08.11.2020
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:53h
Distance:
7.8km

We parked outside Fosse Kraftverk and from there walked 100 meters west along the road to the marked trailhead for Dystingen . The marked trail was relatively steep, especially at the start, and contained lots of wet sections, but could overall be followed without any issues. As the trail turned west towards the summit of Dystingen, I made an off-trail detour to Flatafjellet on my own, before we later reunited at the summit of Dystingen. My route to Flatafjellet did not provide any challenges, perhaps with the exception of trying to locate the exact summit, as Flatafjellet definitely lives up to its name. As far as I could tell, there are two competing summits, so I visited both just to be sure. From Flatafjellet, I returned along more or less the same route to the marked trail to Dystingen.
