I was going to do a short walk, just long enough to see if my new insoles fixed the Haglöfs-boot chafing problem. I took Hateful Hill* #2 up to Kappruskaftet and I was just going to walk around for a while, and get my 365. It was cloudy so it wasn’t really any good for…

I painted two out of the remaining three windows before a late lunch, and then drove to Djupdalsvallen to finish off my vacation with a waffle. I’m a little bit shocked but I think I’m getting over waffles… or at least the whipped cream on top. The coffee was good though, as usual. My knee…

A friend is visiting, we have big plans for the week – a roadtrip in Norway and a hike to Helags. But with the weather forecast as it was, we had to give up one of them so we opted to do the roadtrip and leave Helags for another time. Which was just as well,…

Can’t say that I got a lot of rest at night, there are too many new things when sleeping in a tent that I couldn’t really sleep. Earplugs took away the sounds, but it was light and the mattress was uncomfortable and the sleeping bag felt weird and the pillow was too small… I gave…

This is finally it! I’m going to conquer Blåstöten and as a bonus, tick off the Storröstgraven ravine from my list. The day was beautiful and warm, but there was some dust in the air which made the sky a bit bland and also the distant mountains where just colourless shapes, nothing I wanted to…

Well it was bound to happen, the way the weather had been. The mountain tops were covered with snow, this is the first time I’ve seen this in the summertime. Normally I feel lucky if I even see it in September! The snow was melting fast though – it only took a few minutes for…

Dull weather today but I knew it, and had planned to do… pretty much nothing. Just took care of a couple of things in and around the cabin, but otherwise, I was just being lazy. Which is fine, too. But I had to take a picture, obviously, so in the evening I drove to my…

There was a chance to get some sunshine in the evening so I did my favourite hike, around Kappruet. I’m absolutely convinced that there are some great photos to be taken from the south side of the mountain, overlooking the valley with Blåstöten and Ånnfjället in the background. Just add light. It didn’t start very…

It’s midsummer, it’s a three-day weekend and I’m back at the cabin. I had big plans for this weekend – my first ever solo backcountry overnight hike. I was so determined that I wasn’t going to let some cloudy skies or cool weather stop me, but what I had not counted on was a risk…

I had big problems last night with deciding where I would go today. Having stared at the maps all evening, I finally saw an option that I never thought of before so that’s what I decided to do. I drove to Tänndalen and took the snowcat to the Andersborg cabin (and surprise, I did not…
