We, that is three guys, two Border Terriers and a Golden Retriever, set off from the cabin and walked to the top of Skeikampen. From there we started walking in the direction of Prestkampen which can be seen straight north and easily recognised by a large rock beacon. The south-eastern summit is quite accessible, and no climbing is necessery. After escaping a small rain shower and having lunch on a covered ledge near the top we continued down towards Svartvatnet and headed further north until we found Peer Gynt-stien which took us west to the Peer Gynt road. A couple of hours on the dirt road, and we were back where we started. All in all a nice 8 hour hike, although the final stage wasn’t quite as spectacular as the rest. Maybe we’ll bring a map and have a few ideas where we’re going next time. I’m already eager to check out the path heading east from the north ridge of Storfjellet…
