After some heavy hiking in the Alps, it is nice to be back on our gentle fjälls and take it slow and just enjoy the trek. Today’s activity was to check out a waterfall I found out about recently, the Fallmoran waterfall in Vemdalsskalet. It was a 4 km hike from the Storhogna hotel, and coming…

I’m the queen of planning. And not doing. If I come up with a thing I would like to do, a place I want to see, I can spend hours on finding out the best way of doing it. And then never do it. But now it’s changing – 2017 is the year of experiences for…

It’s nice to have some places which you can visit year after year on the same date. And spring is just about the only season where it makes any difference how the season is progressing. Summer just follows the spring, autumn colours appear almost always in the middle of September, first snow can fall at…

Happy news – my knee is (almost) back to normal! I walked up and down Funäsdalsberget to test it and I didn’t have any reason to be worried about the knee any more. It feels a bit odd on occasion but I’m totally going to ignore it and just do what I want to do. At this…

After a very warm March which almost got me thinking that we’d have no snow left for Easter, we now have winter again. I woke up to a white landscape, even the trees were decorated! But even if the thermometer insisted that it was below freezing, the intense April sun only needed half a chance and the snow…

I always say ”I learn from my mistakes”. And I do, after I’ve made the same mistake about three times. Because that’s where I am right now. First there was the hike to Skarsfjället last summer which got me feeling dizzy on the days that followed (caused by the lack of drinking and eating during…

We are really getting to see the nasty side of the weather in the islands. The wind is relentless and it’s still raining, but what is that to an intrepid group of photographers? We were out and about early in the morning, as usual. We drove to Tjørnuvík, where the bay is somewhat sheltered from the…

The weather forecast doesn’t look very promising, it’s going to be heavy winds and rain for two days now. But, never say die, we ventured out anyway and actually got quite a good session in the morning. We drove to Gjógv to catch some wave action again. The cliffs weren’t quite as slippery as yesterday…

Sun rises so late that we have time to eat breakfast at the hotel before heading out. This is going to be the routine for the whole week – early breakfast, lunch on the road, back to the hotel for dinner. We spent the first morning in Syðradalur, it’s a place with lava rock formations…

A couple of years ago I decided to explore all of the Nordics, not just the five countries, but the autonomous areas as well – Åland, Greenland, Svalbard and the Faroe Islands. I visited Åland ages ago as a teen but it counts, Greenland in 2015 and Svalbard last year. Which then only left Faroe Islands and…
