Walked up to Funäsdalsberget last night, it was supposed to be a sunny evening so this was a good chance to take the pictures I scouted a few weeks ago. But, as usual, it didn’t go as planned and the sun wouldn’t come out quite as early as the forecast said. So I walked around…

For years I have been searching for a good spot to shoot panoramas of Ånnfjället in the evening. I’ve found some some good spots but even the best of them have been spoiled by an annoying optical illusion – that the picture is leaning, even when it’s dead straight. Depending on the spot, it’s caused…

Plan A had been to take the northern trail around Sylarna back to Nedalshytta, but I had become increasingly insecure about that option. I spoke with the guys at the reception and they told me that almost nobody uses that trail so I would almost certainly be alone there. There are also some creeks that…

It was windy all night. The hidden rock didn’t bother me and I was not freezing either (I was wearing one more layer than last night), but the tent was flapping in the wind and I could hear it through my ear plugs. So, another night with patchy sleep and another night where getting up…

The night was just as uncomfortable as I knew it would be. I had found a grassy spot for my tent (grassy level spots are not easy to find here!) but lying down, I discovered that there was a rock hidden under the grass and this rock kept poking me in the hip. And then…

I’m off to a four day camping trip to Sylarna! I have been wanting to do this for years, because Sylarna is unlike any other mountain here in the southern part of the Swedish mountain range. Even the mighty Helags is rather boring in comparison. It’s just big, with one pyramid-like peak. Sylarna on the…

Sunny and calm mornings are not to be taken for granted, so I drove to the red-throated diver location in the morning. Would be nice to get some front lit birds, which will really bring out the red throat of theirs. Walking through the forest I could see one bird take off but this was…

I can see Ånnfjället and Gråstöten from my kitchen window. As it was with Blåstöten last year, it has been annoying to see Gråstöten every time I look out the window, but not have been to the peak yet. I conquered Ånnfjället many years ago, in fact it was one of the first mountains I’ve…

Had a friend for a visit for a couple of days, nice with company! As always when I have visitors who are not familiar with Funäsfjällen, the first place I take them is Djupdalsvallen. The idea was to go up Stor-Mittåkläppen so the waffles would be well deserved, but the weather had other ideas –…

The season changed while I was gone – when I got home last night, I found that summer has come to the mountains as well! Now the trees are green and it’s nice and warm. And if I needed any more proof about the season, then I ate it today – I walked up to…
