Hellen festning (Peakbook vs. Norgeskart - Part 1)

Dato:
04.10.2017
Turtype:
Fottur
Distanse:
3,2km

Short hike to test the use of the Peakbook app for GPS tracking. Specifically, to compare the altitude measurements of the two apps. For a comparison against a very similar hike using the Norgeskart app see: Hellen Festning . Peakbook app settings: geoid correction turned on tracking accuracy set to maximum movement recognition turned off Norgeskart app settings: update interval set to 2 seconds minimum distance between updates set to 2 meters height correction and smoothing of tracks turned on As a general observation, the results from the Peakbook app seems to be more accurate when it comes to altitude, resulting in a more correct measurement of the total number of vertical meters (261 for the Norgeskart app vs. 106 for the Peakbook app). However, the GPS tracking from the Norgeskart app has significantly >>>

Iseggene from Valestrand

Dato:
01.10.2017
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:06t
Distanse:
10,8km

Locating the trailhead Started by taking the bus and ferry to Valestrand and from there following Hamrenesvegen northwest in search for the trailhead indicated on the map. However, upon reaching the location of where the trail ought to start, I could not initially see any clear trails, and had to search for a bit to finally find a potential trailhead. The get to the trailhead I had to cross a small field, and there were no indications regarding where to cross. In other words, one has to be a bit lucky to spot the start of the trail. The trick is to look for the small ridge on the other side of the field, as the trail starts more or less at the northwestern end of this ridge. See the GPS track for details. Dalsnipa and Iseggene As soon as the starting point was found, the trail (sometimes marked >>>

Baugtveit Roundtrip

Dato:
24.09.2017
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:03t
Distanse:
8,9km

Started by taking the bus to Støbotn and walking up to Baugtveit and the trail towards Nordgardsfjellet . I then followed the standard trail to Nordgardsfjellet, Tellevikafjellet and Høgstefjellet . On the way down from Høgstefjellet, I took a quick detour to the summit of Midtfjellet , before completing the circle and arriving at Baugtveit, from where I walked back to Støbotn and the bus back towards the city center. Overall, the trail was easy to follow, but the quality was varied, with several wet and muddy sections. But all in all, a nice hike that can be recommended.

Nukane, Storsåta, Øst for Stangelifjellet and Rundemanen

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
5:33t
Distanse:
19,5km

Started by taking the bus to Hesthaugen and from there walked up to Kolåsen to locate the trailhead. (Note the sharp left in between the two buildings that is needed to find the sign and the trailhead. See GPS track for details.) I then followed the trail southeast across Nukane , Storsåta and Stangelifjellet to arrive at Vikinghytten , before turning west to Rundemanen . From Rundemanen I headed northwest, passing by Ankerhytten on the way down to Munkebotsvatnet, before following the roads on the Eidsvåg-side of Eidsvågfjellet, ending with walking down Fagerbakken to Helleveien. All in all, a very nice hike along overall good trails, the clear exception being the first part of the trail down from Ankerhytten, which on this day felt more like a muddy river than a trail.

Distanse:

Started by taking the bus to Myrsæther and walking along Breisteinsvegen, Leikvangvegen and finally Litlaskarstien to arrive at the unmarked trailhead. We then followed a nice trail through the pine forrest up to Hetlebakksåta , and also included a quick visit to Breisteinsåta before continuing down the relatively steep trail towards Erviknipa . From Erviknipa we followed the trail south, ending up at the top of Tuftadalen, from where we followed the paved road down to Gaupåsvegen for the bus back to the city center. Overall, a nice short hike with great views along the way that can highly recommended.

Rognåsen and Orretua

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:44t
Distanse:
9,2km

Rognåsen Started from Lønborg, crossing Hellen festning to arrive at Øyjordsveien. Right after the crossroads of Øyjordsveien and Søre Øyjorden I took the quite steep trail towards Rognåsen . It was clear that this trail was not heavily used, and it also contained several wet areas towards the end, but it was easy to follow and I quickly connected with one of the main trails crossing Eidsvågsfjellet. I followed this trail south before taking a short detour to get to the highest point of Rognåsen. After taking a couple of picture I returned to the main trail, which I then followed down to the paved road along Langevatnet. Orretua At the northern end of Langevatnet I left the paved road and followed the steep trail up to Orretua . Note that this trail does require a bit of light climbing, but most people should have no >>>

Dato:

Fjelltur
Turlengde:
7:00t
Distanse:
20,6km

Hananipa Started by taking the train to Trengereid and from there walking up to the trailhead at Skulstadvatnet. This included an almost 400 meters ascent, but the winding road made it into a quite nice and not too tough start. Note that there are a couple of possible shortcuts at the start, so be sure to look out for these. Upon reaching Skulstadvatnet I turned left, and followed the very nice trail towards Hananipa . First alongside Skulstadvatnet and later along the ridge, all the time with excellent views. The quality of the trail was overall very good and I quickly found myself at the summit for spectacular views in all directions. I continued north across the summit to the cairn and some even better views towards Osterøy and Vaksdal. Raudnipa The plan was now to continue to Raudnipa . I therefore started looking for a trail >>>

Short evening hike from Munkebotn, following Fjellveien and then up Skredderdalen, passing by the summit of Sandviksfjellet before ending in Lønborg. It started raining more or less as soon as I arrived in Skredderdalen, but cleared up just as I reached the cairn at Sandviksfjellet.
