The hike itself definitely deserves a rating of 5 because of the combination of an excellent guide (Frank) and stunning scenery. Frank gives space to enjoy the peace, bond with fellow walkers while chipping in with interesting information at times.
The hike was more challenging than I expected in that there are no footpaths and therefore I was always concentrating on how and where to place my feet. This is not a criticism and it seems much is down to different interpretations of the walk description. This 9 mile walk is much more demanding on your legs than a regular 9 mile footpath walk.
A bit of confusion around the meeting point (description says to meet at top of Mt Ulriken but we met at Bergen tourist information centre, following an email from Frank).
All that said, it was an unforgettable and rewarding experience and I felt safe at all times with Frank leading!
Thank you Frank!
