Hiking, Puigpedros, Oct 2nd

A Sunday hike up on the 2900 metres Puig Pedros peak in the Pyrenees on the border between Spain and France.. Perfect weather in the beginning of October. It is mostly an easy ascent without very steep sections. Some snow patches higher on the mountain and great views of course..

Hiking, Pedraforca, Oct 23rd

Hiking & scrambling up and down the beautiful Pedraforca mountain in northern Catalunya with perfect weather in late October.. The elevation gain from parking was around 900 metres, and large portions of the lap is quite steep and exposed.. I was happy to have brought hiking poles to avoid stumbling and to offload the legs a bit..

Hiking & Paddling, Congost De Mont-Rebei, October 2nd

Hiking and paddling through the crazy beautiful Congost De Mont-Rebei Canyon at the boarder between Catalunya and Andalucia. The area / hiking trail was closed for 10 months due to a rock fall and re-opened a few weeks ago. It turned out that a sunny early October was perfect with some 21-24 degrees.

An active Sunday afternoon in the Ghar Lapsi area on southern Malta, where we scrambled down a steep canyon, did some sea-bouldering, freediving and later a hike to an old tower with great views..

Congost de Mont-Rebei, July 29th 2020

Hiking and kayaking in the amazingly beautiful canyon of Congost de Mont-Rebei. A place where you try to keep walking and paddling, but you can’t help stopping all the time to take in the stunning views.. It was a long drive from Barcelona but definitely worth it..

San Pedro, Atacama, Chile, Feb 2020

During a holiday in Chile, I spent 5 days in San Pedro, Atacama.. It’s an oasis in a desert up north, surrounded by amazing views and alien landscapes.. I joined hikes through river ravines, went to the Moon valley, the geysers at 4300 meters, wetlands with flamencos and llamas, and to the salt desert with lagoons where you float like a cork.. I highly recommend a visit to this beautiful place..

Hiking, Sånfjället, Sept 6th-8th

25 hours in the beautiful nature reserve Kindla, situated north-west of Guldsmedshyttan. Kindla is a 3 hours drive from Stockholm. We were lucky with mostly sunny weather and warm temperatures for the season. We entered from the parking at Kroktjärn, hiked up to Kindlahöjden for lunch and great views from the tower, and then made our way past Kindlamossen to Klosstjärn where we spent the afternoon and evening enjoying the calm scenery while having a nice fire going for hotdogs and coffee.. By noon on Sunday we were back at the starting point, nicely rebooted and ready for city-life again..

Iceland Roadtrip, May 26th-June 2nd

A week in British Columbia, Canada with the lady - Mostly a road trip where we took some loops on Vancouver Island with Tofino as the turning point, around the Rockies via Harrison Hot Springs, Lilooet, Whistler and Squamish..

Hiking, Anarisfjällen, July 2nd-4th

With another old friend getting married later this summer, we met up for a couple of days of socializing in Anarisfjällen, Jämtland..

Sunday Walk & Swim - Xaqqa Seacliffs, Oct 19th

A light scramble down into the Xaqqa Seacliffs ravine, for some snorkeling and freediving in the calm and clear waters below.. Decent amount of sea-life and a nice 24 C water temperature..

Hiking, Kindla Nature Reserve, 1st-2nd of March

Kindla nature reserve, March 1st-2nd 2014.. Made a miss-calculation and assumed the snow would be gone but far from it.. Snowshoes and ski poles would have been great, but I managed to trudge through the deep snow anyways.. Started at Lövåsen on the south side and spent the night up on the Kindla mountain on the northern side.. Calm and beautiful area..

Hiking, Gisslaren, Oct 26th-27th

A 24 hour hiking trip with the lady at Lake Gisslaren in Roslagen, a tranquil wilderness area.. Fairly warm for end of October, we had 10-14 C.. Tried out the new wood stove, made from IKEA's kitchen utensil rack "Ordning" with some legs made by bolts added to aid ventilation. Worked fine for BBQ, boiling water, and baking some scones..

Hiking, Rondane National Park, Norway, Sept 14th-15th

A weekend roadtrip through Norway, entering at Storlien and then south and south-east via Trondheim.. It's a gorgeous country with scenic views everywhere.. In the late Saturday afternoon, we arrived at Rondane National park for a "mini adventure", hiking a short stretch up on a mountain ridge where we put up the tent and stayed for the night.. Lots of rain, fairly windy, but still very nice.. On Sunday morning we packed our backpacks and headed back to the entry point, driving on towards Lillehammer at around 0900..

Hiking, Utö, 23rd-24th of March

Headed out with the ferry from Årsta Brygga for a 24-hike on Utö.. Sunny days but in the night the temperature dropped to -6C, it's still winter here in Sweden.. Camped at a place called Drumbudden, on the south-eastern part of the island at the edge of a military shooting range area..

Hiking, Sarek, 14th-22nd of July

An 8-day hike with Hans and Markus in Sarek, up in the north-western mountain region of Sweden.. We started and finished in Kvikkjokk, walking a wide loop in the western part of this beautiful and remote national park.. During the week we made our way up and down of numerous rocky trails and hills, walked through swamp valleys, over snow fields and on high plateaus.. Weather covered 3 seasons, with wind ranging from calm to gale, temperatures from 5 to 25 and everything from sun shining from clear blue skies to hard downpours with some lightning strikes.. Which is probably quite normal for July up there.. Some additional excitement when my tent was smashed by a storm gust (we could make a field-repair the day after) in the middle of a night.. Our group of 3 also had company by thousands of hungry horse-flies and millions of thirsty mosquitos.. In summary, a perfect holiday..

Hiking, Oviksfjällen, 19th-20th of July

Hiking in Oviksfjällen with my brother Trond and my nephew.. We started in Höglekardalen on Monday and headed up the mountain to the peak of Falkfångarfjället and set up our tent camp next to a mountain hut.. on Tuesday, we took another route back down to the valley via Drommenskåran..

Roadtrip/Hiking, Jotunheimen, Norway, 28th-31st of August

A roadtrip from Stockholm into Norway, around Jotunheimen, out to some fjords and then back again.. Most of the fantastic sceneries we saw from the car with frequent stops to take pictures.. But we also had time for some mini-hiking with tent camping high up in the Jotunheimen mountains where the rain had some company of both hail and snow.. (In late August!)
