Mtb, Jämtlandsfjällen, Aug 24th-26th








Drove with two friends, Erik & Tommy, up north for a planned 2-day ride in Jämtlandsfjällen.. After staying at a hostel in Ljungdalen Friday night we kicked off the mtb ride from Kläppen on Saturday morning.. Up above the treeline and onwards to Helags mountain station for a coffee break.. Wonderful, flowy trails to the hut in Mieskentjakke and then mostly hiking over a mountain pass until we reached Sylarnas mountain station for a late lunch.. We continued towards the goal for the day, Storulvåns mountain station, fantastic and fast trails.. Halfway there I crashed hard in a downhill run, got some bruises, hit my head a bit, but most of the force was taken by my right shoulder so the collarbone snapped.. Hiked 8 kilometres to Storulvån mountain station to get some care by an ambulance crew and after staying the night there we got a ride around the mountains back to our car and headed home..

Weekend at the Helags, Summer-05, Sweden






Weekend in the mountainrange of Harjedalen, Helags, with Swedens most southermost glacier. In part to try gear and techniques for Elbrus expedition later in the summer. Weather was changing all the time, from sunny to rain and thunder, from calm to windy with gusts..
