Kjeringafjell from Kleppa

Dato:
15.08.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
5:25t
Distanse:
19,0km

I started from the parking lot at Kleppa and from there tried to follow the signs to Kjeringafjell (or rather Kjeringi as used on the signs). The first sign indicated that it was only 6.2 km to the summit, which I found odd, given that earlier PB reports showed distances closer to 10 km. However, most, if not all, of these were from skiing trips, so perhaps the summer route was shorter. The signs did not always include Kjeringi though, resulting in multiple checks of the GPS to make sure that I was choosing the correct option when the trail split. This became much easier when getting above the tree line, but then the signs were not really needed anymore anyway. After leaving the gravel road, there were also a couple of wet sections, but most could easily be avoided by following the trail next to the tractor road instead of the >>>

Barsnesfjorden

Fottur
Turlengde:
0:48t
Distanse:
4,5km

Yet another short walk along Barsnesfjorden. Note that the road this hike follows is private, i.e. no cars allowed. There are however a couple of parking spaces down by the small wharf along Barsnesfjorden just before the road turns west and starts climbing slightly towards the crossroads at Barsnes.

3,5km

Short hike across Flot . This time also including a visit to Flotshaugen . This minor summit is easy to access, but the very limited views means that most hikers will probably be happy skipping it and sticking with only the visitor register .

Skjerdingane Øst from Laugadalen

Dato:
09.08.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
6:39t
Distanse:
18,3km

Given that our attempt to reach Skjerdingane Øst earlier in the week had to be abandoned due to bad weather , we simply had to give it another go as soon as the conditions improved. We followed the same trail up Laugadalen as last time, and also a pretty similar route from Laugavatnet to Styggebotngrovi, i.e. first along the weak trail from Laugavatnet and then finding our own way next to the stream. As mentioned in the previous report, our plan was to follow in the footsteps of arntfla (Arnt Flatmo) (see his trip report here ), which of course today was made easier by the fact that we now knew where to locate the start of the trail in Styggebotngrovi. To summarize, the trick is to head to the bottom of Styggebotngrovi and start heading up on the eastern (i.e. right-hand) side of the gorge. A weak trail should then shortly appear. At this time of the year the trail was lined >>>

Laugadalen (and an abandoned attempt at Skjerdingane Øst...)

Dato:
05.08.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:47t
Distanse:
14,1km

We started out from the parking lot at the bottom of Laugadalen in perfect summer weather and from there followed the forest road, and later marked trail, to Laugavatnet . The trail included several wet areas, but was otherwise easy to follow. Excellent views along the way and also at Laugavatnet itself, where one comes relatively close to Gunvordalsbreen. Our plan was now to follow in the footsteps of arntfla (Arnt Flatmo) (see his trip report here ) and reach the summit of Skjerdingane Øst . From Laugavatnet we followed a weak trail along the north side of the lake. Clearly not very heavily used, but it could initially be followed without too much difficulty. Within not too long the trail however disappeared completely, and we ended up having to make our own way towards Styggebotngrovi, more or less following along the stream. From Arnt's report >>>

Nuken from Åsen

Dato:
04.08.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:46t
Distanse:
14,4km

We payed the toll in Åsavegen , parked at Åsen p-plass , and followed the marked trail to Nuken . After a short break at the summit, the rest of my party returned along the same route to the car while I followed the marked trail to Hølsete. The trail was easy to follow but is probably rather wet during less dry periods. I tried finding the shortcut via Røvhaugane , but failed and had to take the long way around. (I later learned that the proper trail is not the main trail indicated on the map, but rather the one passing by the houses further south.) The hike was completed by walking along the roads to Barsnes.
