Ullstinden, nok en gang

Turned out to be a bit of a mixed day. I met with Kristin at 10.00 and the plan was to drive to Kastnes, a little way from Oldervik and ski up Stortuva. It is known to be a little-visited top, and I thought the route looked like quite a nice one to try out. But first of all we had to actually get to Oldervik, which was something of a nightmare to drive. After a week of rain and windy weather, the road between Tønsnes and Skittenelv had masses of what can only be described as hard icy potholes (maybe there is a special word in Norwegian which I don't actually know) along the way. My car was not impressed. And being a front-wheel drive it was not really built to deal with awful road surfaces like that. So we had to literally stop every time before driving carefully over those patches and it >>>

Jeg og Kristin tok denne korte turen til Fagerfjellet som en formiddagstur. Jeg hentet Kristin fra Lauksletta kl.8.30 og vi kjørte til parkeringsplassen (egentlig en bussholdeplass) ved siden av veien litt utenfor Fagernes. Snøen var myk og lett å gå opp til vi nådde tregrensen. Deretter var det avblåst på mesteparten av fjellet, og så var snøoverflaten ikke jevn. Det ble litt bedre i høyden, men da vi kom til varden var det bare isete snø. Derimot var det flotte utsikt mot sør langs hele Lavangsdalen. Med sola i ansiktene våre, var det nesten vårstemning. Toppen var vindstille og Hamperokken sin profil var fantastisk å stirre på :-)
Vi brukte omtrent 20 minutter på toppen siden det føltes så varmt og utsikt var så nydelig. Vi hadde tid å slappe av, drikke cappuccino og >>>

Initially there was going to be just Kristin and myself on this trip to Ringvassøya, which we talked about doing after our day out on Stormheimfjellet. But after some thinking, we thought that it could perhaps be quite fun to have a few others joining on the trip. Unexpectedly the group soared from 2 to 10 just the day before we went, after friends decided to bring along other companions too! So we ended up being a convoy of 4 cars driving to a relatively small parking spot on the side of the road by Sandelva where we planned to start the trip up Nordfjellet. Fortunately the small parking space turned out to be large enough to accommodate at least 7 or 8 cars, so there was no problem with squeezing everyone in. Somehow Siv and Ingvild had got lost on the way, but after a quick phone call to >>>

Bare noen dager turen til Gråtinden bestemte vi (jeg og Kristin) oss for å ta en annen tur i midten av uka, siden jeg hadde ikke så mye arbeid å få gjort for tida og vi begge var fleksibel med når vi kunne komme oss ute for å oppleve enda mer av de flotte fjellene omkring Tromsø. Imidlertid begynte dagen ikke så nydelig med mye tåke i byen og ingen utsikt. Jeg følte meg ikke fristet av dette været, men likevel hadde masse håp på at det skulle bli bedre i løpet av dagen. Jeg var fremdeles optimistisk at værmeldingen hadde det rett og vi skulle få en klar himmel og litt glimt av sola.
Da jeg kjørte ut av byen og hentet Kristin fra Lauksletta, hadde været allerede forandret seg mye og det så flott ut mot Breivikeidet. Mens vi var i bilen, diskuterte vi om vi skulle få en tur >>>
Gråtinden skitopp

Today's trip to Gråtinden was with a relatively large group comprised of friends and friends of friends. We met up at the car park by K1 at about 9.45 before beginning the drive towards Straumsbukta. It felt a little chilly when we were stood around in the car park, but as we drove out of town it in fact got chillier, reaching -16 in places. I started to wonder whether I had dressed myself properly for that sort of temperature or not.
It warmed up to -14 by the time we reached the pocket by the side of the road where we parked up, but even that was 6 degrees colder than in town. Oh well, I could only hope that maybe it was going to be one of those days with warmer temperatures at the top of the mountain than at sea level. The low level fog and clouds lingering around seemed to suggest that >>>

Dagens tur til Ullstinden begynte med en 45-minutters biltur til Snarby, etter at jeg hadde hentet Jennifer hjemmefra. Vi planla å møte med Kamila og noen andre av vennene sine omtrent kl.10 ved parkeringsplassen. Vi trodde at vi ikke skulle blitt så mange på dette fjellet i dag pga mange ville ta en tur til f.eks. Gorzelvtinden eller Fagerfjellet, men vi var helt overrasket å se at vår bil var en av mange som fylte opp parkeringsplassen. Hadde ikke forventet at så mange turfolk ville velge dette fjellet for en tur! Men det var uansett en ganske artig stemning, selv om det betydde at vi måtte følge bak andre folk en liten stund før vi kom over tregrensen. I tillegg var det egentlig morsomt å treffe andre turkompiser som jeg ikke hadde avtalt å ta turen med. Så mange som jeg kjente!

Jeg var med på FSG-skredkurset i helga, og dagens tur til Lille Blåmann var andre dagen på kurset. Vi planla ruten etter diskusjon om været, bratthet og skredvarslingen kvelden før turen. Det krevde stor innsats å komme meg ut igjen så tidlig neste morgen, men likevel møttes vi kl.8 på parkeringsplassen ved ICA Langnes før vi samkjørte til fjellet. Var heldig med været i dag også, hadde lettskyet himmel og 6 minusgrader da vi begynte turen. Men det som var spesielt i dag var at dagen var også dagen sola skulle komme tilbake til byen! Turen begynte imidlertid ikke så bra, siden jeg kjørte min bil inn i et området med dyp snø (visste ikke om dette da jeg kjørte inn) på parkeringsplassen, noe som førte til at bilen ble kjørt fast i snøen. Til slutt bestemte jeg meg for å >>>

Last day of the year. And Tromsø was blessed with super weather; it was dry, with almost clear skies and even tropically warm – 4 degrees in Tromsdalen! So how should it be used? Well, we (my friend Aline and I) decided that it was really about time we actually climbed a proper mountain, after having been on so many short trips on Kvaløya. Stormheimfjellet was one of those mountains I had not bothered to take a second glance at until now, the main reason for dismissing it being that it looked like a bit of a boring mountain to hike up, with its long and broad back. But that was before I got myself a pair of skis. With its long and gently-rising ridge of 6,5km from road to the north top, this mountain suddenly jumped out on the map as a peak which demanded our time for a visit. The only >>>

Today I was on another trip with Aline and Christian, but not for a hike this time - this would be our first proper ski trip of this winter! With both me and Aline being quite new to skiing, we sought out some of the classic beginner-trips around Tromsø before we finally decided on going to Lille Blåmann. Not only was it really close to drive to, but the starting point in Håkøybotn didn't exactly prove hard to find either; there were already a chain of 4 or 5 other vehicles parked up at the bottom of the route. So that saved us some time looking around! In addition to that time-saver, we of course had the sheer luxury of following beautifully carved-out ski tracks which had been made rather efficiently by the skiers ahead of us. This was really beginning to seem like the perfect convenience-trip! >>>
