After a couple of rainy and snowy days, the weather is turning. Today will be sunny so I drove to Måns-Erstjärnen, which is one of my favourite places. But I’ve never walked all the way around it and today was the day to do it. Twice, as it turned out. Anyway, when I arrived at…

The weather forecast said that it would be raining today but not very much so I decided to hike locally and took off to the Svartmorgraven ravine. When I got up on Flatruet, I found that the clouds were very low and the visibility was in fact quite poor. For a moment I was wondering…

The morning was rainy so I took it easy (lazy) at the cabin. The weather forecast said that it would clear up in the afternoon and sure enough it did, so I took off to Kappruskaftet. It’s fast becoming a favourite place for me and I was looking forward to exploring it in the evening…

Today’s hike is one of the ”guldtur” hikes in Funäsfjällen. The description says it’s 19 km and I’m not sure how long it will take me – it all depends on how many photo opportunities there are on the way! Just to make sure I could take it as slow as needed, I drove to…

My long awaited holiday is here! I’ve really been looking forward to a week in the mountains because this year we actually have some colours, unlike the massive disappointment that was 2011. The only threat I can I see is the wind because the weather forecast says that it’s going to be rather windy all…

Somehow I totally managed to mess up my holiday planning for the summer so that I didn’t have any chance to drive to the cabin just for the weekend, until now. It’s a 3.5 hr drive so it’s not a good idea to drive in on Saturday morning and back on Sunday evening, there would…

Last night when I checked the weather forecast, it said it would be part sunny with chance of showers. So I woke up with high expectations, was met with grey skies and during breakfast, rain. Ok then, showers started earlier than I anticipated. I packed my gear and drove to Rockvallen, knowing that it would…

Flatruet is a long plateau in an east-west direction with Messlingen lying at the foot of it in the south-east. There are some peaks rising from Flatruet, Ruändan is where the plateau ”ends” in the east and in the middle there’s a few other peaks. Today’s target was to conquer one of those middle peaks,…

Having talked about the bicycle for approach trips, I put the words into action and pedalled down to the Mittån delta where the river flows into the Messlingen lake. My pack was borderline too heavy to feel comfortable while sitting on the saddle but it’s just over 6 km so not a major issue. The…

I’ve never done a hike in the mountains in October before, so it was exiting to see what the day had in store. It turned out that it was all good – the first snow had fallen in the tundra and apart from the occasional snowfall that flew past in the heavy wind, it was…
