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…

SOTA: LA/AH-007 – Varden, Håøya
First time activating an island today. Håøya sits at the narrowest point in the Oslo fjord, and is just a 15 minutes ferry ride from Drøbak. The summit rests at 231m which sounded like a proverbial “walk in the park”. What I forgot to consider is that in the case of an island, you literally…

SOTA: LA/BU-032 Stikkvannskollen
Nice trip up Stikkvannskollen with its 361 meters above sea level. Well established tracks and the best signage I’ve come across on a SOTA trip so far!

SOTA: LA/TM-013 – Vestre Vealøs
Catching up on documenting my SOTA adventures. Walked up Vestre Vealøs on a nice and sunny last of August. Parked the car at Store Skifjell (59.211, 9.716) and followed the gravel road all the way to the top; a total of a little less then 360m elevation and a round trip of about 9km. Very…

SOTA Summit LA/AH-020 – Mjærskaukollen
Trying something new – since most of the people reading this does not read Norwegian, I’ll try the only other non-computer language I know! Spent the afternoon activating Mjærskaukollen with my 11 year old! Nice ascent, with no particularly challenging parts. We probably spent a bit more than an hour going up, and a little…

SOTA: LA/OF-002 – Tremannsrøset
Var en tur over på solsiden av Oslofjorden i dag og hentet en ny (for meg) radio hos Morten (LB4AH). Og når jeg først var på den siden, og hadde en “ny” radio som nærmest skrek etter å bli testet, benyttet jeg sjansen til å aktivere 50% av SOTA-toppene i Østfold – eller om man…
