Vurderer å ta denne i sommer men da med telt og starte fra Haukeliseter. Noen som har gått den selv eller kjenner noen som har litt info, blog, vlog el.l? https://ut.no/turforslag/1115313/signatur-ryger

Jeg bruker det hele året, går gjerne turer på 5-7 timer om vinteren også (uten ski) og det fungerer helt fint. Poenget er jo å ha et luftlag imellom.

Kjøpte Brynje sitt syntetiske sett for noen år tilbake siden, super thermo longs, t-skjorte og langermet skjorte. Ser omtrent ut som nytt den dag i dag og er veldig fornøyd. https://www.brynje.no/super-thermo

Autumn is well on its way in the county and this time I opted for a hike on a mountain area I have never been at before, parking at Gilja and then heading north. A very calm and quiet Sunday afternoon today with neither rain nor wind, something we do not get too often this time of year around here. Much appreciated :-) The website UT.no and trail info there suggested this to be a five hour route (without breaks) in very varied terrain and the odd lost path. I therefore decided to download the GPX file to use as guide should I miss those areas that there was no visible trail (as mentioned in the trail info). I highly suggest you do the same. Suffice to say I was not disappointed hiking along the wonderful small scenic lakes, autumn painting its colors on the trees and underbrush, finally ending up with panorama views of the majestic fjords of Høgsfjord and Frafjord. I´ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.... Erik Beautiful start Troll (ish) Looking over at the Frafjordhatten peak This must be heaven during summer also Høgsfjord Lunch tarp setup

Dette lurer jeg også på. Er 30 min intervall inkludert i Safety abb.? Gir pre set melding også posisjon ?

The Stavanger Trekking Association is a progressive outdoor activities organization. The "Kvitlen" cabin is one of their fairly new and modern cabins with a smart layout - so much so that usually all seven bedrooms are booked well in advance. Do not be afraid though, there are several mattresses on the loft if you want to hike in but all beds are booked. This weekend I was fortunate to be a host on behalf of STF here. Driving in to park the car in the lush and wonderful Bjordal valley is no more than 1hr 15mins from Stavanger. Click here for the trail info on UT.no. All images can be clicked on for full size. Once in the Ørsdalen valley you pass the old Molybden and Wolfram mines that were abandoned in the late 70´s, so this is a site I have to come back to later and explore! The entire trail from start to finish is along the Kvitlen river, first part slightly uphill with some slippery rocks but not too demanding as long as you pay attention. On a few occasions there are the added safety of chains and ropes to hold on to in case the weather makes the rocks slippery. The hike only takes app. 2 hrs. Looking back down to the Bjordal valley Lush surroundings Looking in to the cabin Prior to the cabin there are several excellent places for tenting or hammocking The Kvitlen cabin was opened in August 2015. It has 12v lighting, bookable beds via the online service (as also many other Norwegian trekking association cabins have now), food to be bought on site and a clever layout where the social zones and bedrooms are separated. They also have a separate room for hikers with dogs. So you only really have to bring you sleeping liner! Click here for direct link to info on the cabin. The cabin blends nicely in the terrain As usual the evening progresses with good food, making new friends over a game of cards and then the house rules calls for the cabin to be quiet between 23 at night and 06 in the AM. Social evening And to throw in a little teaser on how this is during summertime, here is a picture from two years ago....

Jeg har testet denne nå i en måneds tid - den er ikke vanntett er konklusjonen. http://norhiker.com/2018/09/18/review-berghaus-gr20-storm-jacket/

OPPDATERING FOLKENS! Jakken er ikke vanntett i storm flapsene. Se hele artikkelen jeg har laget her. Søren også! http://norhiker.com/2018/09/18/review-berghaus-gr20-storm-jacket/

Får ta denne til sein vårpart heller.

Outdoor Research er også et alternativ, en del lettere da de ikke har sidelommer. Jakke Bukse

@Fjellskald Jakken har hittil fungert meget bra. Forrige helg var det mye regn + var ute i åpen båt og jakken gjorde det den skulle - holde meg tørr.

Noen som har gjort dette? Tenker at om jeg tar bussen fra Stavanger til Seljestad på Torsdag etter jobb har jeg hele Fredag, Lørdag og frem til kl.17 på Søndag før jeg hopper på bussen i Ølen igjen tilbake til Stavanger. 26km trasking hver dag blir vel en 7 timer hver dag omtrent. Total ca. 80km Lettpakker med utstyr som tåler noen minusgrader og det er jo hytter på veien i tilfelle rottefelle....Stort sett nedoverbakke også bortsett fra ved Blomstølen området. Tips/innpspill mottas med takk. https://www.ut.no/tur/2.16400/

Er Jula sin helt grei liksom eller må jeg kjøpe en annen for å dehydrere mat selv. Har vakumeringsmaskinen allerede.

Salomon sko uten tvil! Bruker selv disse samt La Sportiva Bushido og Ultra Raptor, litt avhengig av terrenget mht. steiner. Sluttet med fjellstøvler for en stund tilbake siden, for meg ble det for tungt og tok lang tid å tørke opp. Med bushidoen (uten GTX) så tørker skoene mens jeg går.
