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…

SOTA: LA/VF-015 Holtehedde
Was planning on activating Mistberget (LA/AH-006) today, but that would entail setting an alarm and getting up early. On a Sunday! Not really our favourite thing. So we settled on something a bit closer to home. There are several routes up, but we parked by Holtetjønn about a kilometre from Hvarnes in Lågendalen. Approximately 5km…
