Imarbu

Together with Ray and Adrian, we spent nice, but short weekend in Imarbu cabin. It is run by DNT (more info here). Nicely located on Aure island, it makes excellent base for fishing or hiking trips. Easy access, perfect view on Litløra (637 m) and Storøra (900 m) mountains  together with possibility to use couple of old "goatboats" makes this place really great.

Dovrefjell

Spontanous weekend trip to Dovrefjell national park - what a great idea! International hiking team (Spain, Latvia, Czech rep.) had two main goals: to reach the top of Snøhetta (2286 m) and see muskox. Both were accomplished. Conditions were the best possible ones - no wind, clear sky, temperature around 0-5 degrees. In total 55 km in two days (Kongsvold - Reinheim - Snøhetta - Snøheim - Kongsvold). I must go there back in winter to cross country ski. 

Before start, just one picture from friday afternoon, when I went fishing with Albert to Byneset. We got no fish, but we observed porpoises (small whales that look like a dolphin - see here).

October

There are some really good weather conditions in October here in Trondheim.  The air is clear and fresh as the light.

Sunday morning.  New cycle path along the fjord in Skansen (63.431908, 10.379219)

It is really nice path, with views on Munkholmen (63.451018, 10.383441)

still on cycle path

Albert is fishing in Storsand (63.436029, 10.709613). We got no fish there...

but it was magical there...the combination of cloud/fog and sea

Aurora borealis

It was chilly and sunny yesterday, with good light, so I took a couple of pictures of NTNU buildings. In the night, aurora borealis was strong in the sky above Trondheim. Taking pictures with phone cannot capture such beauty, so I stole a couple of them from my friends just to demonstrate what was going on here.

Back to summer - Flatanger

Our friends travelled long long way to visit us. They found granite paradise.

Mara on the top of the best Bymarka boulder, Jonas Dirrettissimma. Midnight wine& beer climbing.

The cave up there is the current nr. 1 climbing hardcore destination on the planet

with nice view

Sometimes it is even hard to notice a climber...Enjoy the climbing in endless sea of super nice granit.

dinner like this almost every day
