Reading your trip reports from the other side of the Atlantic ocean inspire me to get up in the mountains.This day our plan was to meet some of the other members of our local skiclub and head for Blaabretind. I’ve been to this mountain before but then I hiked up from the east side. Blaabretind is placed in Hjorundfjorden, one of the wildest landscapes in western Norway. The fjord is surrounded by high mountains, jagged peaks and glaciers. The rest of the group was going by boat across the fjord from the club hut, so I and my girlfriend took our boat from Aalesund and met them at Trandal.Looking towards Hjorundfjorden Girlfriend driving our boat One of our friends has a old fishing vessel he use for transportation across the fjord. Since snow starts at 500m some of the club members had organised transportation from the boat. Just started GF and a couple of our friends Rest of the group, and Blaabretind in the middle. View from the top towards the fjord. Top picture GF looking for a way down Svein find his way home A short walk to the transportation down to the local pub for a cold beer. Trandal harbour Trandal is a remote place with only five resident. In summer time it is popular to go here by boat to the local pub. The owner of the pub is around 65year old and have a lot of good stories from the old days. Driving home from another great trip.

Looking at the dock/bar you went to even it seems squeaky cleanOnly way to make this better is a 5mm wetsuit and some wakeboarding behind your boat on the way out or inThanks again I LOVE Norway,except Ive never been And lastly, why is there always a guy named Svien in every norway story. Must be like Joe or Jim over here :headbang: :rock: :thatrocks: :bananas: May 12, 2009 at 9:41 pm #617895 RuneG 20 PostsThanks Tex,Wakeboarding or a couple of hour surfing would make the day perfect. 😀 The name Svein comes from old Norse and means something like “boy” or “young unmarried man” May 12, 2009 at 11:03 pm #617896 Kyle Miller 510 PostsI cant handle this :drool: I have a feeling if I went to Norway I would never go back to the states.
