I got to the cabin yesterday and kicked off my vacation. I was curious to see the state of the autumn colours and found that it’s not very good this year. Much of the leaves have already fallen and the remaining colours are a bit on the dull side because of the warm weather we’ve…

When I said yesterday that I have done all the important stuff at the cabin, it wasn’t exactly accurate – I did have the blocks of firewood that still needed chopping before they rot away. I’ve been wondering how I’m going to do that because I’m not really an ax-wielding kind of woman, but I…

I took the day off. I’ve had this headache since last week but the weird (or not so weird) part of it is that I only suffer from it at work. Almost as soon as I get home, I hardly notice it – it’s still there, but just not bothering me. So it’s not a…

You’d think that I would be tired after a 14 km hike on Saturday, but surprisingly I had energy to spare. So I took a shovel and finally dealt with the pile of gravel I’ve had lying by the cabin, and having done that, I sprayed the remaining wall with iron sulphate which means that…

I spent the weekend at the cabin. I wanted to try out something and didn’t bring a computer with me, just to see if I would miss it or not. Turns out, I didn’t miss it at all – in fact, I wouldn’t have had time to switch it on anyway. I had a big…

When you drive to Messlingen from the south, you pass two isolated mountain massives, the first one is Sonfjället which you can see from the lay-by right after Linsell, and the second one is Särvfjället which is visible about half-way on the road between Hede and Messlingen. Sonfjället has a very recognisable profile but Särvfjället…

A friend is visiting me, it’s nice to have company up on a mountain. We hiked up to Kappruet but once again the weather was playing tricks and we even got rained on, on a day when it wasn’t supposed to be any of that. But even if I keep complaining about the weather, the…

This is it, opening of the summer waffle season! I drove to Bruksvallarna and took the toll road to Mittåkläppen. The target for the day’s hike was Lill-Axhögen. There’s a 4-wheeler road that follows the valley to the west, and this road would take me very close to the mountain. But instead of wasting time…

It was going to be one of those rare non-overcast days so I had planned a big hike. I drove to Torkilstöten in Ljungdalen and the idea was that I would hike to Norra (North) Gröndörrstöten and energy allowing, Södra (South) Gröndörrstöten as well. The weather was really dull with no sign of that sun…

I drove to the cabin yesterday morning and in the afternoon I was ready for my first hike. The weather was warm, surprisingly warm actually considering the complete cloud cover and wind, but I think the air humidity was quite high which made it feel warmer than those 18 degrees that the thermometer told me.…
