Sandnes mini Fartgeit

Inspired by the Speedgoat 50k and motivated to get as much vert as possible while staying mainly on trails, I came up with the following route. It takes in most of the highest peaks in the hills northeast of Sandnes. I included the short out-and-backs required to get to the actual summit of most peaks. Summits include: Vassfjellet, Lutsifjellet, Bjorndalsfjellet, Fjogstad, Skjorestadfjell, Lifjellet, Dalsnuten, and Ovre Eikenuten.

7-nutsløpet

Yesterday I ran the 7-nutsløpet, an event put on by the Stavanger Turistforening.  It was a 14km trail run with 900m of climbing, taking in 7 peaks in the hills to the east of Sandnes.  Awesome circuit on awesome trails. The route was pretty well marked but having never seen any of the trails before, I found the route finding a little tough in spots and got off course a couple times.  At the finish I got a nice pin and coffee and waffles.
