In this Corona time, I have put my self on the ground. No-fly at the moment. So was looking into my archive for something unseen. And found one of nicest day in my home mountains. Just two people in the mountain that morning, and weak wind and perfect flying conditions. An memorable day!
November and last part of October gave some good weather and mountaintrips. Few flight down, but some and lots of photographing. Should wish I had more time to be out, but that’s it 🙂 Have been much in Trollheimen area training during November and lots of good experiences and memories! #speedfly#teamwendy#stjørdalfoto#Trollheimen#swing mirage#surnadal#runegjeldnes#nature
October has been visiting and ended, with changing weather conditions. Tried to be in the mountains as much as time has limit. Winter and Autumn has changed from day to day, and like you had winter one day and summer the next. Nice colors and big contrasts, which I do like. Most of the time…
Had a lucky flight just before the snow finally covered the mountains in Trollheimen. The home. On take-off left wingtip had a hit in a rock, which was really recognized. When landing I recognized I had a 10 cm hole in the left outer celle on the wing. Not so pleasant afterwards, but the wing…
The summer has been busy and weather not so good for flying when at home. But had a nice flight back home at the farm early July. Waiting for an hour to clear and got the flight with good lift:-)
Got many nice mountain trips in the “home” mountains in October and November. But often it was too windy or “bad” wind in the hight so I had to walk down as everyone else. However I had luck on some trips and had some amazing flights without turbulence. The heading says it was the last…
Have had many mountain trips this Autumn. Always hoping for a flight as well. However it has been few of them, because of strong wind in the mountains in September and October. Then it is extra nice when everything is perfect. Walk on the first snow in Trollheimen. Some wildlife. Beautiful view. Just a perfect…
It has been a special summer in Norway, with lots of weather records. Mostly high temperatures. Have enjoyed it, but it has almost been too warm in the mountains. So activity has been from Middel Norway to Northern Norway. B
Had a perfect short Autumn day in Trollheimen speed flying from Storfjellet to Kaarvatn farm. Never started towards the west from this “peak” before but this was the day, and spotted several Dear Hunters and I scared about 75 Angus…but in the right direction 🙂
Visited the family and the my home mountains last weekend in perfect weather and nice wind conditions. Got three summits, not very high, and could do it without skies. Down in the valley it was blooming and the birdsong was strong. The snow melting made the rivers and the rapids big and loud. A good…
November has been a busy month with lectures and travels, but time to get outside there has been opportunities. The days are short now even in Mid-Norway, and you have to hurry out in the morning to have some time in daylight or twilight. Some few mountaintrips without snow, but hard frozen ground. Easy to…
The first month of the Fall is over, and it has been a good month. The colors came. The birds is eager to leave Norway. The Nature is getting more and more quite. Getting ready for the Winter and the resting. Soon the landscape will leave all the colors. The mountains will be dressed in…
The plan was good, and the weather forecast was with me. To try a flight from a very special peak for me. Neådalssnota in Trollheimen. Hoping to fly all the way from the summit to Kaarvatn. It was a nine kilometers flight, on South Easterly wind, my novice head told me that could be good.…
It just became the perfect Speedfly day, and the best flight this year. Almost everything was good, except hard to find a exit point up on the mountain. The weather-forecast was ok, but warning about fog up in the mountains. The fog was coming and going. Got joyful 10 minutes flight from 1500 m down…
Finally I got some few days at home in Surnadal. That gave the opportunity to visit the winter mountains in Trollheimen.Got some good training which was one of the main reason to go there. Mt Snøfjellet was the main goal, but the weather window became too short. Luckily I could chose from top level of…
The ambition for the day was Innerdalen, and to ascend Skarfjellet. By “faith” the local ferry had a breakdown that morning, and I had to change plan quickly. Looking for a immediate new goal on the right side of the fjord, Grinaren mountain in Todalen was chosen. 10 years since I had been up there,…
The Fall has arrived in Hell and the surroundings. The weather has been up and down, but on days with good weather the mountains has been calling. Have been to different spots. The yellow red colors has started to appear. I do really like our seasons in Norway. Gives nice contrasts and gives different beauties.…
A quick visit home to Surnadal and family. Had good fun helping my friend Gudmund with changing the roof of his old farm cabin one of the days. That was a good excuse to bring the wing. After finishing the roof, I went further up to a summit close to Kårvatn Farm. Got a very…
The winter in Norway is looking at its end, and I have been trying to catch up on Speedraids on ski, before the snow disappear. There have not been much time to practice SpeedRaiding during the winter, but have got some few nice flights in Northern Norway, Sweeden + some very last flights back home in…
Finally I could do it. When I was a child we were hiking onto these mountains, and talking about it: “What if…what if we just could have been flying out of there?” Now it is possible, and a thrill to do it. Took some years to get there. This technique is definitely something to bring out on…
