Hares: Abominator, Yogi and Gagarin

This was an A to B run with the ON-ON at Krohnegården. The trail lead toward Ravnefjellet with the ON-INN at Melkeplassen. The summit was not reached and is approx. a 30 minute walk from the highest point of the trail.

Hares: Smokie and Yogi

This was an A to B run with the ON-ON at Kvarven/NUTEC. The trail followed the main path to the summit with a very step decent in parts back down to Kjøkkelvik and the ON-INN.

Hares: Creepy Crawly and Foggy Glasses

This was an A to B run with the ON-ON at Mulen. The trail lead up Skredderdalen, past the dam at Storevannet and up a valley to the highest point of the trail. The trail back to town followed the road past Fløyen to the ON-INN at Skansen. The summit was not reached but the highest point of the trail was only a short distance from the summit.

Hares: Foggy Glasses and Ugly Dick

This was an A to A run with both the ON-ON and ON-INN next to the World War II u-boat bunker on Laksevåg. The trail followed a ridge from Ytre Laksevåg to the highest point before heading back down another ridge to Vågedalen and back to ON IN. We sustained the most serious accident on this run to date, when Foxy slipped on the way down and fell of a cliff to a grass meadow 4 to 5 metres below barely missing some large boulders. The summit was reached and is approx. 33 metres below the highest point on the mountain!

Hares: Foggy Glasses and Deep Throat

This was probably an A to B run. The ascent was up the very step Stolzekleivene to Sandvikspilen. From there the trail mainly followed the roads to Fløyen and back to town. The summit was not reached and is approx. a 15 minute walk from the highest point of the trail.

Hares: Ugly Dick and Backtracker

This was an A to B run with the ON-ON at Lægdene. The trail followed one of the main paths up to the cable car station on Ulriken with a detour to the summit. The pack took the cable car back down to the ON-INN.

Hares: Flasher, Swedish Bubbles and Bargain Hunt

This was an A to A run with both the ON-ON and ON-INN in Vetrlidsalmenningen. The trail up the mountain followed the road up to Skomakerdiket and paths from there to the summit. The trail back down followed paths to the road leading to Skredderdalen, and followed the path down Skedderdalen and along Fjellveien to the ON-INN. There was a shorter route down the mountain, but this would have been very treacherous in wet weather so the hares went for the safer but longer route. This was the longest trail to date and took approx. 5 hours to complete and set the standard for the following trails.

Hares: Foggy Glasses and Deep Throat

This was an A to B run with the ON-ON at Fjøsanger. The trail followed the paths up and over Gullsteinen before heading for the summit on Løvstakken. The trail back down followed the path to Skillingsbollen and to the ON-INN in Solheimsviken.

Hares: Foggy Glasses and Deep Throat

This was an A to B run with the ON-ON at Kjøkkelvik. The trail followed the same paths as in 1999 but in the opposite direction with a very step climb to the summit and an easier descent to NUTEC via the old coastal fortress at Kvarven.

Hares: Foggy Glasses and Deep Throat

This was an A to B run with the ON-ON below Svartediket dam, part of Bergen water supply. The trail followed the road leading along Svartediket and up Tarlebø valley past remains of some old farmsteads up to the Tarlebø dam. From there the trail followed the main path with a detour past Bergensbakken, a ski jump constructed of stone in the 1930’s and only used a few times because of the adverse wind conditions, and on to the highest point of the trail. From there the trail followed the road to Store Tindevann. At this point most of the pack followed the FRBs and ran down the road leading to the city centre. The trail, however, followed a path down to Storediket and Skredderdalen and along Fjellveien to the ON-INN at Skansen. The summit was not reached but the highest point of the trail was only a short distance from the summit.

Hares: Foggy Glasses and Deep Throat

This was an A to B run with the ON-ON at Tennebekktjernet. The trail followed the road and paths leading to Viggohytten. From there the trail lead to the summit on Gravdalsfjellet followed by the summit on Olsokfjellet and finally on to the summit on Damsgårdsfjellet. The trail back to town followed the trail to Damsgård and to the ON-INN in Kirkebukten.

Hares: Foggy Glasses, Deep Throat and Wet Dream

This was an A to B run with the ON-ON at Måseskjæret. The trail followed the old road up to the old abandoned coastal fortress Sandviksbatteriet for a combined drink- and game-stop. From there the trail followed a step path up to the ridge leading to Sandvikspilen at the highest point of Stoltzekleivene and from there on to the summit of Sandviksfjellet. The trail back down followed the path down Skredderdalen, where most of the pack followed the FRB's and missed the last drink stop. From there the trail followed Fjellveien to the ON-INN in Vetrlidsalmenningen.

Hares: Foggy Glasses and Deep Throat

This was an A to B run with the ON-ON just below Svartediket dam, part of the water supply in Bergen. The trail followed the road leading around Svartediket Lake to a game stop. From there the trail followed the path up Isdalen (Ice Valley) to the 1st drink stop, before it continued up Trolldalen (Troll Valley) and joined the main path which crosses Vidden. The trail followed the main path for a while before it headed for the summit on Ulriken and a combined drink and nosh stop. Most of the pack took the cable car down the mountain whilst the remainder of the pack followed the main path down the mountain. The pack reunited at the 3rd drink stop at Montana before reaching the ON-INN at the lower cable car station.

Hares: Foggy Glasses and Deep Throat

This was an A to B run with the ON-ON just below Svartediket dam, part of the water supply in Bergen. The trail followed the path up Knatten and from there to the games stop by Skomakerdiket. After the game stop the pack headed toward the restaurant on Fløyen and then on to Fløydalen and on to the summit on Fløyfjellet. After the drink stop the trail zig-zagged down paths past Vindeggen and to the ON-INN at Bryggen.
