Had a great hiking holiday during my summer vacation. Headed a little north in Sweden (just above Åre actually) and spent three days doing some fell walking.....or fell wandering as they say in Sweden. The first two days were 16km and 19km respectively...all cross country. It was easier than i expected though, and it helped that we had prepared well. The cabins we were staying overnight at were so remote that all supplies were airlifted in by helicopter. There were no roads to them at all...period!
The walking was fun though, and the scenery fantastic. Reminded me a lot of Scotland though which was odd. We were very lucky with the weather as well actually. It only really rained on the second day, and for me at least i welcomed it. Klara didnt though....she would have much prefered sunshine?! In my opinion i thought it was a great for keeping cool and fresh. On that note, i was also very happy with my new thermos. Such a small pleasure, but one that i had forgotten since coming to Sweden. A really really strong brewed cup of tea!
The last day we managed to walk 12km in 2 hours 15 minutes. I thought this was not to bad considering it was cross country and we had done 35km in the previous couple of days. Anyway. Had great fun, and hope to do it again sometime in the future, perhaps even further north.
