Nu var det äntligen dags, sträckan som jag längtat efter! Jag åt en god frukost på fjällstationen och gick vid 9-tiden. Det skulle bli en hyfsat fin dag enligt prognosen, helt perfekt för både vandring och foto. Jag kände på en gång att jag hade ont i fötterna, samma smärta som i går, på ovansidan…

Så var det dags att an en av de största utmaningarna i trakten – att bestiga Storsylen 1762 möh! Jag har velat göra det för länge, men nu blev läget akut så att säga, för det första måste jag ju upp dit för att plocka av Jämtlands högsta punkt (som är på kammen nedanför toppen),…

The clouds were low in the morning, but it wasn’t raining any more. I was going to do a hike to Pyramiderna (the Pyramids) and the Issjödalen valley but since I had the whole day on me, I wasn’t in a hurry to leave while there wasn’t much landscape to be seen. So I just…

Many many years ago I heard about a geological formation called Pyramiderna (the Pyramids) in the Vålådalen nature reserve. I’ve wanted to see them ever since, but as always, I just don’t get it done. About four years ago I even drew a route, but I still didn’t get the actual trip done. And when…

It was raining yesterday so I went on a road trip in search of better weather, and found it – too good, in fact. I ended up in Frösö Zoo (which I visited 3 years ago), and needed a whole lot of tricks to handle the chain link fences in sunshine, until the sun disappeared behind…

It’s been very quiet here lately. Since my blog posts are almost always related to pictures I’ve been taking, then you can guess that no blog posts means no pictures. The reason for the downtime can be described in one word – weather. December 2015 is the warmest in record in many places, I don’t know if…

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…
