MULLFJÄLLET WITH THE FAMILY

The family’s first hike together in the mountains went pretty well. We headed straight out the door in Tegefjäll and made our way up Mullfjället. To avoid the climb through the slopes in Duved, we took a shortcut up via Englandsbacken.

VÄLLISTE IN THE FOG

It was our first summer in Åre, and Marcus, Petter, and I were eager to get out on the trails. Even though it was only early June and still a bit early for mountain hiking, we couldn’t resist heading up over the Pentecost weekend. We left Thursday evening, excited for three amazing day hikes ahead!

SOLO SAILING TO BISKOPSÖN

It was the first weekend in May, and I had an overwhelming craving to get out on the water and sail. When I asked around, none of my friends were able to join, so I decided to go solo. The day was absolutely perfect, with a gentle northerly breeze—ideal for some peaceful solo sailing!

LUFFA VS HUXFLUX

Once again this year, Ornö Runt was canceled due to the pandemic, but Berndt and I were so eager to sail that we decided to create our own race around Ornö—Luffa vs Huxflux. So, Marcus came up from Västervik, and we sailed down to Kolnäsviken on Friday evening, where we met up with Berndt. The next morning, the race was on!

AN UNFORGETTABLE SAIL

This weekend turned out to be an unforgettable one that I won’t soon forget! David and Emine came up from Kalmar, and we decided to sail south to explore the archipelago around Norsten. It’s a beautiful stretch of islands with relatively low terrain, offering little wind shelter, but the conditions were absolutely perfect. Sunshine, a gentle breeze, and warm (well, somewhat warm) waters!
