Mtb, Gömmaren, May 30th







Sunny Sunday ride with 8 guys from the Happymtb forum.. We rode for a couple of hours on a trail that circled the lake Gömmaren, where I've never been before.. Not very long in distance but quite energy-zapping with an amazing amount of very large roots, combined with nice rocks and small sections of uphill and downhill..

Rock Climbing, Gåseborg, May 22nd






Rock climbing for a couple of hours with my brother at Gåseborg, on the north-western side of Stockholm.. Warm and sunny like a proper summer day, and the mosquitos were plentiful and hungry.. There are loads of sport climbing routes here, more than 60, but we settled with a couple of fairly easy ones where I lead and Jon followed.. Nice location at lake Mälaren with splendid scenic views from the top of the cliffs where we had lunch..

Kayaking, Mälaren, 15th-16th of May








Excellent weekend kayaking trip in the central parts of lake Mälaren together with Emil.. Starting on Saturday from the north side at Hjulstabron, heading counter-clock wise past Gisselholmen and Björktorp to harbor dinner with pizza and pints in Strängnäs.. Camp on a small island north of Stora Rullingen and on Sunday northbound past Bispgrund and Koholmen back to the starting point.. Few boats this early in the season and plenty of wildlife including ospreys, cranes and a snake swimming in a strait..
