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..

Kayaking, Utö-Nåttarö, July 15th-17th

A 2 1/2 day round-trip starting at Gruvbryggan after a ferry from Årsta.. Started with a south-westerly route in moderate head winds past Rånö's west side down to southern Nåttarö where I had the first tent camp.. Continued past Nåttaröhals the morning after, past Stora Björn and Storsand with nice tail winds.. At Hamnudden the winds from the side that bounced on the cliffs created rather choppy conditions.. Second tent camp on a small island north of Järnholmen, then I took the ferry back to Årsta on Friday morning..

Cycling, Utö, Sweden

Half-day ride with GF on the island Utö in the southern Stockholm archipelago.. We headed out with the ferry and then rode southbound on soft and slow gravel roads to a nice rock and sand beach for a coffee break.. Back north to Gruvbryggan for a delicious late lunch at Utö Wärdshus, some sight-seeing at the mines and the windmill with scenic views, and then back to the car at Årsta brygga..
