Spring is here in Bergen, and to say I am looking forward to the adventures it will hold is an understatement. The promise of good weather to come has me itching to get back into the mountains and to explore the areas around Bergen as much as I can. I\u2019ve already started to get out of the city again with two trips the past two weekends, one to a DNT cabin and the other on a camping expedition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabin trip was to a small island on the coast about two hours north of Bergen with two friends, and the cabin was called Rongev\u00e6r Kysthytte. At least it is called a cabin; I would describe it as more of a bed and breakfast or inn given its size and facilities. There were enough beds for nigh on 40 people, as well as electricity, running water and showers. It was definitely the most unique \u201ccabin\u201d I have been to so far, considering the fact that we had to access it via rowboat, and it was a fantastic way to spend the weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather. The availability of a target for axe throwing was an added bonus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The camping trip was to the nearby island of Oster\u00f8y, about an hour from Bergen, with the same people who accompanied me to the cabin. With another weekend of beautiful weather we had a hike of about three and half hours to where we made our campsite. There were some fantastic views along the way, we found the pelvis of a male roe deer in a river, and there were some fantastically comfortable places to sit and read at camp. I am currently working on \u201cThe Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,\u201d and I would have made better progress had my friend continued his nap instead of waking up and distracting me. No hard feelings though, as the conversations were both plenty and much fun. Unfortunately the weather for this upcoming weekend doesn\u2019t look as nice as it has been the past few, but I may still head to a cabin. As the Norwegians say, there\u2019s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
