After I’ve been struggling to motivate myself for work I’ve decided to set an end to this, make better use of my time and rather than drowning myself in guilt and pity go hiking instead. You’ll find me on Sörmlandsleden the coming weeks. Plan is to do all the 600km of the main track. We’ll see how it goes.

Met my friend again. Just when I left home. 💕

Need to get past Södertälje today. Not my favorite stretch. Thus I’m treating myself with a burger at my favorite place.

The burger was fantastic. As always.

Home sweet home. It was another long day. But shorter than I thought. There’s a spot next to a recycling facility which is quite noisy but otherwise beautiful. It’s not as loud as I feared and I’ve got ear plugs.

A young(?) female(?) moose(?).

Swedish “streetart” again
Was another tough day. On the yay side, had my first bird bath and now I feel at least somewhat fresh and clean again.
Gear failure. Either my phone or my power bank is shit. Something drained all my batteries. So now I have to be very conservative. Leaving the phone off most of the day. 😒

Lucky me, not completely unexpected, found a power outlet to remedy my situation. Sort of.

Another beautiful camp spot, took another bird bath and washed my clothes.

Yesterday was rather challenging, got into hard rain and thunderstorms while being very exposed. Kept on raining until nightfall. Managed to pitch tarp and hammock nonetheless without anything getting wet. Little proud of myself. Had a fantastic spot and could watch birds all morning, after a 12 hours sleep. No pics for obvious reasons.
Dinner time
Don’t wanna leave this place. Can’t I just be lazy today and listen to birds all day?

Wolf 🐺

There’s even some pieces of bones in it. 😱

Made it to Malmköping. Lady at the front desk of the camping lets me charge my power bank. 🥰
Lost my little blue beloved ditty bag. 😭😫🤬

Omg, got it back *mwah*

Lost it at the campground when I left my power bank to charge.

But then I plugged in the power bank with the wrong port and now it didn’t charge at all 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Would have been too nice. I hate this new power bank!

Childhood dream?

The spot with a beautiful view on the lake, but awfully exposed and it’s gusts of 10m/s right now, or the sheltered one next to the outhouse? 🤷‍♂️

That spot (the latter) is also heavily infested by ants 🐜

All hail to hammocks!

One of my favorite places on trail, the bogs around Hälleforsnäs.

Plucked four ticks off of my body yesterday 🤯
All of my equipment plus myself is so full of birch pollen I think I’m slowly turning into one.

Today was mostly just clear cuts. 30km of devastation. The dark side of Sweden.

@zeank that's typically logging practice around here too. Always heartbreaking.
