hiking

We did not travel south over the holidays for the first time this year. Uncertain if we would find acceptable skiing conditions and how it would work with 4:30h of daylight, we started our Christmas cabin trip at Bjørneggen at the northern end of Sylan and aimed for cozy Ramsjøhytta. The snow layer at the wind-exposed parts was just enough and we got to enjoy sun in our face for a few minutes. The second half of the ascent was unpleasently foggy. As was the next day. We had a chill rest day at Ramsjøhytta before we set off to Storeikvollen at sunrise the next morning.

Catching the last sunbeams on Jervfjellet (504m), passing Finn-Pålstuggu cave on the way.

Dog family excursion to Gimshøgda, Orkdal (635m).

Me and Puck got a chance to taste hiking in beautiful Jotunheimen during a "Walkshop" organized by the Centre for Digital Life Norway. 17 Participants with 8 different nationalities got into discussions on value & value creation in biotechnology and life sciences while hiking Leirvassbu - Olavsbu - Skogadalsbøen - Sognefjellshytta.

Hiking in Sjunkhatten National Park, near Bodø after returning to the mainland

Finally we got to hike Reka on Langøya (Vesterålen), even so we still did not climb the top. Reka is named after its impressive silouette that reminds of a spade blade.

Brief windy walk near Nykvåg on Langøya (Vesterålen).

Kvasstinden (705m), the highest peak on Andøya (Vesterålen).

Hiking up Hesten (520m) from Fjordgård, Senja for a perfect view on Segla (590m).

Short hike from Mefjordvær (Senja) to Skøyteneset, passing an ancient execution site.
