Kayaking, Öland, 29th of July

A sunset paddle on a very calm sea at the north-western side of Öland from Byxelkrok to the "raukar" (erosion shaped rocks) at Byrum.. After about 2 hours I arrived at destination just on time to join the crowds at the raukar to see the sun drop below the horizon..

Kayaking, Northern Öland, 25th of July

A morning paddle from the "Tall Erik" lighthouse at the northern tip of Öland, southbound along the western coast to Hagskog via Byxelkrok.. About 15 kilometres, it took about 2 hours including a short stop, I was assisted by waves and wind coming in from the rear right.. Really nice conditions and very sunny..

Mtb, Jämtlandsfjällen, 19th-22nd of July

A long weekend ride in Jämtlandsfjällen, Saturday to Tuesday.. Brought rather spartan camping gear that to some extent dictated route selection as the weather was mixed with some wind and rain.. Started in Storulvån in the late afternoon, first camp south of Blåhammaren, continued towards Sylarna via Enkälen, second camp at Långtjärnen.. On the third day I rode on towards Gåsån mountain station via Storforsen but turned back north when the weather took a turn for worse.. Third camp close to the Gåsån shelter. On the forth day I rode back to Storulvån, finishing the ride at around noon..

Rock Climbing, Ekoberget, Saturday 12th of July

Saturday climbing session at Ekoberget.. Teamed up with Mats who is quite experienced so he led most of the trad and sport routes and I followed as second, except for a bolted one that I led in the end of the day.. Pretty challenging for me so good training and really fun..

Kayak Training Session, Torö, Sweden

Spent a few hours on Sunday at Torö Stenstrand, practicing self-rescue techniques, support strokes, paddle float assisted re-entry, paddle float assisted eskimo rolls etc.. And my lady got to do some trial paddles along the beach as well.. Will do more of this, hoping for warmer water and sunnier weather next time..
