Det har gått fort. Våren. För två veckor sedan cyklade jag på frusna skoterleder, och idag har de fått stänga skidbackar och våffelstugor i förtid då snön har försvunnit. Vintersäsongen är därmed officiellt över! Det gick ju ganska fort i fjol också, men då kom den varma perioden först i början av maj. Väderprognosen säger…
Storbäcktjärnen Jag har tappat räkningen på hur många snöbyar vi har haft idag. Däremellan har det varit en del solsken också. Det tog mig hela förmiddagen att bestämma vad jag skulle göra idag, jag har ju sommardäck kvar på bilen (känns lite tidigt att byta redan i september), så med risk om snö och frusna…
The season is closing – last day of business at Djupdalsvallen! You better bet I was going there. This time on foot, I walked from Ramundberget in the hopes of finding some nice colours. Alas, the birches are very affected by the moth larvae, and with the cloud cover being what it was, the little…
Ever since I moved here, I’ve had this idea that I could hike on top of Ånnfjället in the evening after work. Somehow I never got around to doing it last year, but now that summer has finally arrived here (after a brief guest appearance in June), I did it yesterday! In theory, you could…
I need a plan. If I don’t have a plan for the next day when I go to bed, I will wake up without a plan and the day is pretty much ruined already. Last night, I didn’t make a plan. This morning, I woke up without a plan. So I spent the whole morning on…
While everyone else was busy dancing around maypoles, I used my day on the first ”real” hike of the summer. And indeed, it felt like summer, despite the snow and the little bit of ice I found on the tarn which was target for the day. The tarn is between the peaks of Lill-Skarven and…
This is it, opening of the summer waffle season! I drove to Bruksvallarna and took the toll road to Mittåkläppen. The target for the day’s hike was Lill-Axhögen. There’s a 4-wheeler road that follows the valley to the west, and this road would take me very close to the mountain. But instead of wasting time…
While I’ve been on holiday, Canon released a new SLR and it’s the fullframe 6D as rumoured. So that’s it then – it’s my new camera! Just as well that I didn’t get the Tokina 16-28mm and Canon 24-105mm lenses sold, because now I will need them. Those investments I made in the Tokina 11-16mm…
