Sunday: The weather was still not good, but we agreed to do a hike across Ulsettua, Åsefjellet and Hjørungneshornet. I was convinced we had done this hike (or parts of it) before, but Anne had no recollection of it.
So, after leaving my bike at Hjørungneset, we drove to Kvammen and headed up to Almekleiva.
Approaching Almekleiva, I got strong flashbacks to “Den Store Styrkeprøven» back in 2016, when I ran from Eiksund to Hjørungavåg, across Kongsvollen, Ulsettua and Åsefjellet. I came in as the runner-up. I was quite fit back then. I miss those days…
From Almekleiva, we started the hike up Ulsettua.
Unfortunately, the path to Ulsettua is overgrown. It is in serious need for someone with a brush cutter. But, this is not my region…
There was fresh snow > 300m and my boots got quite wet. For some reason, Anne’s boots never get wet. Makes you wonder…
I really looked forward to get below the snow…
Ulsettua is a kind of mountain/forest top that just never ends…
Finally, Åsefjellet felt closer…
Don’t get me wrong, though. It was a really nice hike and we all enjoyed ourselves!
On top of Åsefjellet, we sat down for a couple of minutes. I asked if Anne was “game” for going all the way to Hjørungneset, across Hjørungneshornet. She was!
And so we descended Åsefjellet, aiming for top #3…
It was nice to get on the road near Korshamna…
… and watch the Coastal Express pass by.
Then we sat course for Hjørungneshornet.
Anne was a little tired, but overall happy with the 3rd top “in the bag” and all downhill from here.
Then we descended to Hjørungneset…
A good hike had come to an end. At least for Anne and Karma…
I had to go and get the car…
Oh well, just a 10km bike-trip ahead of me…
35 minutes later, I was back at Kvammen. I really enjoyed this trip!
