Huldrehornet, Apr 20 2021
After taking Monday off from hiking, I was back on the track on Tuesday – with Karma and across Huldrehornet. The weather was not too bad.

Skeidshornet (311m), Apr 21 2022
The weather was quite unstable today, and I settled for a round trip hike in the Ulsteinvik backyard. We hiked from Bugarden, across Vikeskardet (350m), across Skeidshornet and descended via Nibben and Osberget. We had the all kinds of weather on this hike!

Gyrinakken (365m), Apr 22 2021
Whenever the weather is not good, I try to find some kind of variation to the route that will increase motivation. So, today I hiked from Jøsokdalen and followed the tractor road past the petroglyphs until I reached Gyrinakken‘s west ridge. I had never hiked the ridge before and I was happy with this variation.
From the top, I followed the normal route back down until I went off-trail in order to get back to the car.

Høgåsen (240m), Apr 23 2021
The weather wasn’t particularly good today, either and so my variation to the normal round trip hike across the Dimnøya island tops was to start out from Dimnavika – for the first time.
After a snow shower, the weather got gradually better and we had a nice trip across Stemnehornet (190m), Høgåsen (240m) and Svarane (191m).

Skjeggen (738m), Apr 24 2021
Then followed a week’s stay in Sogndal. After the 3,5 hour drive I took Karma and went from Åberge and up to Skjeggen. The route was as good as snow-free. I really like this route and the open birch forest.
We then descened down to the Hølsete road, and the snow didn’t carry my weight. Once on the road, I took a “radical” choice and left the road. After a cumbersome descent down the forest, we reached the a trail that leads to Åberge.
As we were closing in on the farms at Åberge, I felt a I was somewhat trespassing and continued off-trail further down in the forest. Eventually, we got to Røvhaugane and followed the regular path back up to Åberge. A very fun round trip hike!

Nisedalsfjellet (1377m) & Kalvsnesnosi (1093m), Apr 25 2021
That a beautiful picture of the dog and the Sun reflection on the fjord.I am planning,well tomorrow not much planning!,a stargazing hike overnight tomorrow from Haltwhistle to Carlisle in the very north of England following Hadrian’s Wall and crossing the Northumberland National Park which is an International Dark Skies Park.Hopefully catch Venus predawn? Although nothing too high about 400m I suppose?
Thanks, Kevan! That sounds like a fun hike! What are we talking about in terms of distance and time?
At a guess 30 km but you never know until you finish because of detours and getting lost!
