I have a new bike. I wasn’t going to buy anything as expensive, but it just felt so right. The only reason I needed a new bike anyway was because the old bike is too big, I mean the frame. I’ve had the old bike something like 10 years and I’ve always thought it was…

As mentioned yesterday, I got down to Mon and finally explored the island that was no longer an island. It wasn’t actually that exciting, just the same as elsewhere in Mon, but it has bothered me quite enormously that I haven’t been able to visit the place. Especially because I’ve seen from the mainland side…

Last week I found a nice spot opposite from Mon. Meaning that while I’ve been on the river shore in Mon, I’ve seen a small cape (I think the correct term is ”point”) on the other side. I finally got around to visiting it last week and I was impressed, not so much by the…

Lately I’ve been reading a lot of about introversion and extroversion. There’s no question that I’m an introvert, and I’ve learned to understand a lot of things about myself the more I’ve read about the subject. One thing that is strongly related to (but not necessarily a part of) introversion is something which is called…

It’s been a nice weekend, especially today with what must be the warmest temperature of the summer so far (or maybe not – I hear it was really warm during my vacation). I did some scouting yesterday, primary target was to find flowers but the most exciting thing I came across was some over-bloomed butterfly…

When you drive to Messlingen from the south, you pass two isolated mountain massives, the first one is Sonfjället which you can see from the lay-by right after Linsell, and the second one is Särvfjället which is visible about half-way on the road between Hede and Messlingen. Sonfjället has a very recognisable profile but Särvfjället…

I visited the Livsäterån creek 5 years ago and was absolutely spellbound by the many waterfalls. I’ve been meaning to go back, but it hasn’t happened until today. Some of the waterfalls seemed familiar, but what really got me scratching my head was that I couldn’t find the same kind of compositions I did the…

A friend is visiting me, it’s nice to have company up on a mountain. We hiked up to Kappruet but once again the weather was playing tricks and we even got rained on, on a day when it wasn’t supposed to be any of that. But even if I keep complaining about the weather, the…

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…

It was going to be one of those rare non-overcast days so I had planned a big hike. I drove to Torkilstöten in Ljungdalen and the idea was that I would hike to Norra (North) Gröndörrstöten and energy allowing, Södra (South) Gröndörrstöten as well. The weather was really dull with no sign of that sun…
