Mountain ride on Haukelifjellet

I tried to get a room at DNT cabin Haukeliseter several times but they had nothing free, so then I saw other opportunities nearby and found the Vågslidtun Hotel.

 

It was just 18 minutes below Haukeliseter and they had very good food there.

A very good hotel.

 

Was there on August 17 at 5 pm

The problem was that it was worked with both the Haukelitunnel and the Vågsli tunnel and it was column driving and the road was closed between 23:00 and 10 on the morning.

Day 1

Pictures Day 1

 

I had to go to Vassdaleggi and back, but when I didn't start until almost 10.30 I would not arrive to come back to the right time.

I parked on Haukeliseter and began to go against the dam and were there at 11:00. From the house at the dam there was a lot of slope and very rocky path.

I was by trail sharing Holmavatn and Vassdaleggi at 11.10. By Kisteelvi.

 

The trail now went quite steeply against up against the Kistenuten, and followed this in the same height a piece.

I didn't follow and didn't see that the trail shared. Some went down to the end of Kjelavatn. I shouldn't have gone down there, but just lost approx. 20 minutes on it. Sat down and ate when I came up again.

Then entered Listedalen and water 1151 at 13.15. Here I went over in the beginning of water at stones and went on the left side of the water.

I'm watching videos that someone goes on the right side of the water and wads at the end of it.

So I should go up the mountain at the end of the water, but I lost the trail and went a little too early. It was very badly marked here.

 

I used Norway chart on the mobile and got into the trail again. I went to the clock was 14.22 and was 1320 m.o.h. It was approx. 3 km to go so I decided to turn around.

When I was going over the stream on stones at the end of the water I got trouble with the wind. It was so strong that I almost blew over in the water. I saw that the best had been going over further down the pelvis.

 

Decided to go down to the trail from Holmavatn who goes along Kjelavatn. It wasn't so wise when it was very rocky there.

Was at trail sharing at Kisteelvi at 16.30 and at the dam at 5:30 am and was promoting Haukeliseter approx. at 18.oo.

 

Had spent about 8 hours on the 16km long trip. I notice that I don't have the old speed in the mountains. See it when I go to Nesodden too. Also see that I am more careful when I go down the mountain. It probably has something about the age to do.

I got me a very nice hike and pretty nice weather. A little rain. The trip itself is important for me. Not that I'm going on a top.

I usually start at 07.00-08.00 so I came too late.

Drove down to the Vågslitunnel where I drove a detour down to the hotel.
