This was one trip I had had high hopes for. My mum was visiting me for a few days, and one of the things I really wanted for her to see the absolutely amazing views over Mefjord. Keipen seemed like quite a nice choice of mountain to see it because it is one of the Lenvik Ti på Topp, and I simply assumed that it would not be too difficult a walk to do. Unfortunately, as we drove over from Tromso it was obvious that there was a lot of low cloud to budge before these really fantastic views could be seen from the mountain! It was about midday when we arrived at Botnhamn, and we thought that we'd wait for a little longer before starting the hike because the weather forecast had promised more sun later in the day. Most of the route descriptions I'd found for Keipen recommend starting from the entrance >>>

Segla is a beautifully-crafted peak along the east side of Mefjord. Its all in the name. You can't help but be mesmerized by its distinctive shape when seen from one of the other nearby mountains. For me, my first encounter with this stunner was on Breidtinden on the day before we went on the hike up Segla. So anyway, this was going to be our Sunday afternoon stroll in the mountains on the second day of the very excellent weekend trip to Senja with the fjellsportgruppa i Troms. It all started with a very laid back start, pulling back the zipper on the tent door and being greeted to the most wonderful sight of the beach at Ersfjord. It was all a bit too good to be true, and my spirits were only marginally dampened by the fact I had to drink instant coffee on this morning because I didn't have >>>

Today marked the first day of an incredible weekend in the mountains on Senja, and what better company to spend it with than the fjellsportgruppa i Troms? The weekend kicked off with a relatively early start meeting up at ICA Langnes to split into 3 cars. Yngve and Fredrik were both leading the trip together, and on first meeting them I already had the impression that this was going to be a trip with a lot of laughs and good humour. I was not wrong. Other than them, there were two other guys - Gregers and Werner, and two other girls joining in Tromsø, a Czech PhD student called Ilona and a just-graduated student named Solveig who had just finished her Bachelor studies up on Svalbard and was 'passing through' Tromsø on her way back down to Oslo for the summer. Us girls got together in my car >>>
