All through the summer I’ve been jealous of all the mountain bikers I’ve come across on my hikes. I really want to learn trail riding because it will open whole new doors for me (and it looks like a lot of fun!) so I got myself a real bike last week. I already had two bikes,…

Maybe I was a bit too negative yesterday. The season wasn’t completely at an end – the raining stopped at lunchtime and I was out again. It was very windy though so I preferred to stay below the tree line, with just an occasional visit above to check out the grand landscape. I also chose…

As the rain is pouring outside my window, it’s time to face the fact – my hiking season has come to an end. Prematurely and with a fizzle (drizzle), not a bang. Feels like it’s been the same story the whole summer, every time I’m not on call, the weather is iffy. At times so…

I have previously mentioned that every time I try to shoot a nice sunset, the sunset isn’t nice. To prove my point, I tried to shoot the sunset this evening. It wasn’t nice. The evening however, it was very nice. Måns-Erstjärnen is probably my #1 favourite location during calm weather and I’ve had some magical moments…

It’s been years since I last visited Rändåfallet and I’ve been thinking about doing it again… well, for years. A few days ago I was looking at my old Rändåfallet pictures and realised that I don’t actually have anything good from there, even if I’m sure I used to think otherwise. So now that I…

I went hiking for a change. The goal was to do two peaks today, Rutstöten (1098m) and Gråhöjden (1192m). They are in the same direction and so close together that it would be wasteful to only do one of the peaks at a time. And in fact, had I not already done Volldalshöjden, it would…

I finally got my new car! Actually, I got it last week – I drove to Östersund to pick up the car and my sister, who came to visit me for the weekend. It was great to see her and we had a good time with hiking, walking, eating waffles and chatting. All of that…

One of my (many) goals this summer was to cycle to Djupdalsvallen from home. I was going to do that last year, but I chickened out and drove to Bruksvallarna and then biked. No chickens today! The weather forecast had promised sunshine but the clouds were stubborn and the sun still wasn’t out when I…

So I finally did the long hike to Skarsfjället and back! I drove to Slättansvallen in Ramundberget, unloaded my MTB and biked (well, mostly – there were some bits where I had to walk/carry the bike) all the way to Tvärån. That’s about 9 km (return) that I didn’t have to walk, and I was…

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…
