New mountain hiking page for Ryten -CLICK HERE-

Second new page for the week, not too bad!  While the view from Reinebringen is perhaps Lofoten’s most iconic, if there is to be a runner up, then the view from the slopes of Ryten down to Kvalvika beach would be high on the list.  Ryten is an easy mountain walk that finished with you standing 500 meters almost directly above the sea and scenic views in every direction.

This will be my last update for the year; not that there’s many days left anyhow.  I’m pretty happy with the progress I’ve made in the last couple months, and I think the site is off to a pretty good start.  Once I’m finished adding all the info and guides here on the site, I’ll most likely begin working on some that pages more location and photography specific.  I’ll hopefully also turn these into (free) eBook downloads so you can take them with you to the islands; though the functionality I envision is somewhat beyond my technical and design abilities.  It will at least be a start to something useful.  I also get an email every once in a while about ‘the best of Lofoten.’  So I’ll probably write a suggested itinerary guide along the lines of ‘1 week on Lofoten – the best of.’  Or something along those lines.  Maybe a separate summer and winter version as well.

And the best new for me is, I’m already ticket shopping to head back to the islands in mid February…

New hiking guide for Himmeltindan -CLICK HERE-

Himmeltindan, at 964 meters, is the highest peak on Vestvågøya and an exciting hike up a steep trail with airy view from the summit.

New hiking guide is online for Hoven on Gimsøya.

I’m also working on the final touches for the Autumn gallery, should be online early next week…

I’ve added a new hiking guide for Horseid beach -CLICK HERE-

Horseid is probably my favorite beach on the Lofoten Islands, and I highly recommend making the effort to go there and camp for a couple nights.

I’ve changed up the format a little bit.  Instead of having just some rotating images at the top, I’ve now just inserted them in the post after all the text content; in the same style as the other beach guides I’ve written.

If you actually read this, I would greatly appreciate some feedback as to which style you prefer best: Rotating images at the top of post, or all the images displayed within the body of the post.  On the one hand, the rotating images is a bit cleaner look, but if you actually want to study the image for longer than a second or two, having them within the post seems a bit better.  If you guys like it, I might update everything to this format…

Next week I should get around to adding new Summer and Autumn photo galleries.  I’ve edited and selected the images, now all I need to do is downsize and upload them.

I’ve just added a new hiking and camping page for Kvalvika Beach.  A few photos as well.

Check it out! And if you like what I’m doing here and think any of my info is useful, please help me out a bit and spread the word to your friends.  The more traffic this place gets, the more motivation I’ll have to make cool (free) stuff for you guys…

I’ve already began uploading images to my archive some photos from the August/September part of my travels, 50 online so far.  –CLICK HERE– if you want to see them. Otherwise, I’ll hopefully get a quick edit down to about 20 images and have a new gallery online here by the end of the week.

I’ve added a new hiking route page for Steinstinden peak, located near Stamsund on Vestvagoy.
