POTA: LA-0873 Ilene Nature Reserve
Been under the weather all week and finally starting to feel better. And it seems like half the radio amateurs I know are heading up one (or more; yes Tord, I’m looking at you) SOTA summit! I really don’t have time to be ill next week too, so had the good sense to stay at…

SOTA: LA/BU-092 – Jonsknuten
Nice climb with good friends up LA/BU-092, Jonsknuten (904 metres above sea level). A total elevation of around 150m, but over a distance of just some 600m that makes for a steep ascent! Still, the three slowpokes (LA2IMA Bjørn Ingar, LA1JLA Svein and myself) made it up in about 35 minutes. LA7MHA Tord was already…

SOTA: LA/VF-003 Ruketuten
Nice day to activate the third highest point in LA/VF, LA/VF-003 Ruketuten, at 603 metres above sea level. 4.2km each way, with a total accent of about 360m. Beautiful sunny day, and an uncomplicated walk to the top. I had the advantage of walking in the tracks of LA7MHA Tord and LA2IMA Bjørn Ingar, who…

SOTA: LA/TM-068 Lauvåsknollen

Not particularly hard in and of itself, but there are two trails from the parking lot to the summit. One goes through relatively open woodlands on a well trodden…

SOTA: LA/TM-049 Holtankollen
Too much crappy weather lately, so both the 11-year old and myself really needed to get out a bit. And even though one of us would rather stay home and play computer games, we both went :-). Not really sure how much snow we should expect, we went for something safe and simple. Hotankollen in…

SOTA: LA/TM-013 Vestre Vealøs
Starting the year of right with another trip up Vestre Vealøs. I was there August 31. last year too. I’ve got to say the weather was more that a little bit nicer then! Took another route this time, walking up from the west (Lensmannsseter). About 3.2km, and 250m elevation. The trip up was icy, but…
