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…

I counted my ”60 toppar” peaks the other day and found to my astonishment that I already have 31 of them! And as of today, 32. I drove to Vauldalen just across the border and hiked to Gruvsjöfjället. It was a very easy hike because you can follow a road/quad trail almost to the top, and the altitude…

I have a four day weekend without any specific plans. Everything depends on the weather and it doesn’t look so good… my main target currently is Skarsfjället, which I’ve decided to do as a day-hike. It’s long (about 24 km, if I use the bicycle to Klinken), but perfectly doable. But, Skarsfjället is often shrouded in…

Last night the weather forecast had promised sunshine all day and even on Sunday. This morning it said that it would get cloudy in the afternoon and rain in the evening. Yikes! I didn’t feel like having a long breakfast, I really wanted to get going so I could reach the peak before the clouds…

Yesterday morning I looked at the weather forecast and saw how the weekend was going to be absolutely brilliant. The first thing in my mind was, Helags! The second thing… I’m on call this week. For a moment I felt sorry for myself for missing a great opportunity, but then I decided that there’s no…

A rainy day today, with clouds so low that you could barely see above the tree line at all. Not the ideal weather for hiking up to a peak of any mountain, but I stand firm with my earlier decision to put hiking first and photography second, so I hiked up to Stor-Mittåkläppen. Granted, it…

There’s a small mountain (Volldalshöjden, or Volldalshøgda) you pass when you drive across the Sweden/Norway border here. Somehow I’ve managed to miss it all these years (it really doesn’t look like much from the road) but now I finally got my sights set on it. On paper it looked like an easy evening promenade of…
