I felt a great need for hiking. Not least because I got myself new hiking boots (and this time they are waterproof for sure, unlike all my previous supposedly waterproof boots which have greatly reduced my faith in Gore-Tex), but I just somehow I wanted to be out using my feet. I haven’t found any…

Särvfjället is a perfect place for a ”last day of vacation” hike. It doesn’t require a detour, it’s accessible and provides options for both short and long hikes. And today the good weather continued, it was much like the morning yesterday except that it didn’t get overcast later. A little bit cloudy, yes, but it…

What a glorious morning. It had been very cold at night with clear skies, which meant that there was a lovely morning mist that I got to admire through the car window, as I was speeding down to my spot. For many years now I’ve been wanting to take a morning light picture of the…

I drove to Ljungdalen in the morning, the target was to hike up the Södra Gröndörrstöten fell that I missed in the summer. I took the pilgrim trail towards Helags and I got rained on at first, but it was just showers that drew by quickly so I was spared from the same misery as…

Well, I said it would rain. It sure did today. I only managed to get to Kappruskaftet when it started, and it didn’t take long before it got really bad. Heavy rain, heavy wind, my clothes were put to test and so was my backpack. I had opted not to get the rain cover for…

I got to the cabin yesterday and kicked off my vacation. I was curious to see the state of the autumn colours and found that it’s not very good this year. Much of the leaves have already fallen and the remaining colours are a bit on the dull side because of the warm weather we’ve…

When I said yesterday that I have done all the important stuff at the cabin, it wasn’t exactly accurate – I did have the blocks of firewood that still needed chopping before they rot away. I’ve been wondering how I’m going to do that because I’m not really an ax-wielding kind of woman, but I…

I took the day off. I’ve had this headache since last week but the weird (or not so weird) part of it is that I only suffer from it at work. Almost as soon as I get home, I hardly notice it – it’s still there, but just not bothering me. So it’s not a…

You’d think that I would be tired after a 14 km hike on Saturday, but surprisingly I had energy to spare. So I took a shovel and finally dealt with the pile of gravel I’ve had lying by the cabin, and having done that, I sprayed the remaining wall with iron sulphate which means that…

I spent the weekend at the cabin. I wanted to try out something and didn’t bring a computer with me, just to see if I would miss it or not. Turns out, I didn’t miss it at all – in fact, I wouldn’t have had time to switch it on anyway. I had a big…
