Bouldering, Kärsön, Sweden

Went to Kärsön for bouldering, first time there in a long time.. First picture: IT-geek and outdoor-geek! :-) Forgot to print the route chart before the weekend, so I checked online betweek climbs.. Without a spotter (I'm too heavy to land on my GF), no crash pad, and the rock being rather slippery after rain the night before, I stuck to the easier routes and was done some 40 minutes after starting.. The bystander in a tree (a squirrel) probably (correctly) concluded "I'm way better than that odd fellow in a baby-blue hat!"..

Bouldering, South of Hellas, Sweden

A few kilometres south of Hellasgården, along Sörmlandsledens first section, there is a fairly large rock side that I wanted to try out.. So I went there with my GF on mountainbikes and she took some pictures while I had a go at it.. Some parts of it have decent potential for a couple of boulder problems and possibly top-rope climbing with rope secured in trees above the rock side.. A number of loose stones that could be easily wripped off the rock.. If the floor was cleaned up a bit from branches, stones etc and the rock was properly brushed to remove all the moss, it could be a decent little climbing area.. However, it is located in a nature reserve, so it's probably not very legal and a bad idea..

Mtb, Fornstigen, Lovön, Sweden

A Sunday ride in fairly relaxed pace (Altough I was worn out the second half) with 5 guys from the Happymtb forum.. Parts of the 18 km trail had sticky mud that sucked a lot of energy, but it was nice to be out on a new bike in good company, I guess the form will return eventually.. Spring would be nice too..

Mountainbiking, Sörmlandsleden 4-3, Sweden

A fairly short ride with GF on Sörmlandsleden, section 4 and about half of section 3 and then back again.. Mostly to try out the new mountainbike before longer and faster rides.. It works fine, just need some tuning of the fork.. This section is fast and easy, and part of it goes through a community, other parts next to highways, so not very scenic.. Back at the car after about 2.15 hours, including a lunch break at a gas station..
