On the road again

I’m sorry for posting being terribly erratic at the moment, but it’s time for part two of my summer vacation this year. This time I’m heading for my beloved mountains on the border between Sweden and Norway. I’ll walk and camp in trailless land, drinking water straight from the creeks, fighting the mosquitoes, ignoring my blisters and breathing truly fresh air, finishing with a three day riding tour when I’m too tired to use my own legs.

Most of the time I’ll be away from the e-world, but I might get access to it at some of the places where I’m going to stay. So there may or may not be posts coming up here. You’ll juat have to wait and see.

In any case, I’ll be back in the beginning August and things will get back to normal.

Cheers!

  1. That sounds like a lot of fun. Enjoy yourself. It’s nice to find a fellow outdoors enthusiast. All my Followers are movie folks, so my occasional hiking posts generally get ignored except when a random person does a google search. Every Spring I go to a National Park a few hours from where I live. My goal is to eventually hike every trail in the park.

    • That’s wonderful. The hiking was a bit of a test. It’s been many years since last time we stayed in a tent. The last few years we’ve been walking between cabins. But we did pretty well and it was wonderful to be far away from the more popular tracks closer to the mountain centers. At some points the density of mosquitoes/midgets was a bit overwhelming with a substantial protein addition to our diet whenever we opened our mouths to breathe. But there were also some of those magical moments.
      I visited a couple of national pars in US some years ago and was floored by what I saw. I would love to visit every national park there is in America… You can always dream!

    • The riding part was mostly absolutely excellent – apart from one dreadful day in the rain storm at the mountain at a temperature of 7 degrees. I’ll tell you about it when we meet again.
