A walk in the hills

It's been a while since I trudge the rocky trails to Bjorndalsnuten, a small hill at 363m elevation as part of a series of hills at the Dalsnuten area. It's the highest peak connected by a series of easy trails popular with families and trail runners over the weekend. I think it was the second peak we clambered up after Dalsnuten (323m) when we first moved to Stavanger.

Since then I make it a point to go there at least twice a year sometimes more when the weather allows for it.

This trip I got distracted by the dry winter weather (it supposed to be late autumn now) at 10degs C with moderate winds. So instead of clambering Bjorndalsnuten, I decided to explored the smaller hill next to it instead, peaking at 340m. In this cold weather you do not have to worry about ticks so carefree roaming is not an issue as in warmer temperatures.

Roaming around the hills amongst  the rocks and bare birch trees has it own draw. I didn't have to share the trails with anyone. I found a few quiet spots along the way which I'm sure to revisit in the future.
