Now how long have I been thinking about doing the via ferrata in Funäsdalen? No more! I figured, how hard can it be, they send up tourists in wholesale without prior climbing experience and no rope teams and no guides… I’ve done a via ferrata in the Alps, this should be a piece a cake!…

There are good days, and there are bad days. And then there are great days. Like today. 🙂 I have a few caches that I haven’t logged in this region. Five of them are in Messlingen, so that was my target today. On the way, I stopped at the Kappruet Trädgårdscafé for lunch, been meaning…

You know how much I love hiking, but this week I’ve had this enormous longing to be out and about, even I’m surprised. It could be mosquito related though – there are none. We’ve already had night frost and it’s not that warm during the day either. Gloves are a must-have. In other words, it’s…

Since I moved to Sweden, I’ve been admiring the summer farms (mountain pastures, fäbodvall). I haven’t seen anything like them in Finland, I don’t know if they even exist or if I just never came across them. But here, you find them pretty much everywhere, sometimes a lot of them together like around Mittåkläppen, or…

The wind is really bad today. And when I drove the Mittåkläppen road in the morning, the thermometer showed a generous 4 degrees (well, at least it was above freezing). I had gloves which really were needed, but a cap and some long underwear would’ve also felt nice. On the upside, no mosquitoes! With the…

Roaldstöten is a strange looking small peak next to Blåstöten. I’ve wanted to summit it for a while now, mostly because I’ve wanted to see what it looks like up close. But in the long term, I also want to summit all the named peaks in the Anåfjället massif, and now I have two left…

Because it’s not summer until I’ve had a waffle at Djupdalsvallen!

So, now I’ve had a week to contemplate my situation. And make an Excel table about it, as befits an introvert. My nose is still a bit stuffy but otherwise it feels like I’m back to normal. Considering the stuffy nose, it’s a bit as if I’m recovering from a flu, but my Excel table…

Well, guess what. Here I am again. Exhausted. And now it’s worse than ever before, I’ve had this weird thing all week. On Monday I was really tired, I mean more tired than after Njupeskär. Then on Tuesday, I felt an itch in my throat, which normally always means that I’m going to have a…

Since I got my new mountainbike, I’ve been wanting to do a bike & hike trip. Rödsjövålen was a good candidate for that, there’s a double-track road from Backvallsvägen to Östvallen, where you continue on foot to get to the top of Rödsjövålen. 17 km by bike, 8 km by foot (return trip). No problems, I…
