PositivDenken 🤯A young(?) female(?) moose(?).
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?
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!
A squirrel 🐿️ a day keeps the doctor away (sorry, no pic)
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.
But I managed to take a bath and clean not just myself but also my underwear. There was a school class hogging the place with like 20 tents and one even caught me changing. 🫣
This birch tree decided to abandon its main trunk in favor of two branches. For reasons!
Had a wonderful swim at a lake and took a sun bath. All nekid ☺️🫣. Had pizza at a gas station and recharged my phone. 🥳. The designated camp site was awful so I went another 6 km to a much better place.
Haven’t posted much lately due to the battery situation. This power bank (Flextail) is really shit.
So I made it past Nävekvarn. Had a burger there and bought some 5€ Granola. 🤪 (it’s very yummy though)
Now I’m in Nyköping, trying to charge my shit again. Also my feet hurt. Thus taking it slow today. Slept a fantastic 12 hours straight.
Bråviken in this beautiful weather was just fantastic. Reminded me a bit of Gotland. Need to get back there. So I sorta decided to do a bike tour next months.
A so called jättegryta (pot of a giant). Ice age melt waters running under the glaciers have whirlpools that with the use of loose stones carve deep holes into the rocks.
Last days were really exhausting. Now the weather changed, started raining early in the morning and didn’t stop yet. Decided to take the road instead of the trail. My shoes are too slippery and also because my legs are just too tired. Made it to Trosa and decided to take a bus home rather than staying at an expensive hotel. Maybe I’ll continue next week. We‘ll see. It’s just two days left … 😅🤪
Magnus Kronnäs@zeank Men det var en härlig vandring du fick till! Börja i Södertälja och sluta Trosa, två platser som jag sjä'lv tycker mycket om ...
@krm Trosa är verkligen vackert och mysigt. Skulle gå tillbaks med min pojkvän någon gång.
@zeank Det finns många små vägar där som är rätt så roliga. Om du har möjligt att bå biligt där så kan det vara rätt så kul att bara gå och titta på samhället.
