Fresh air is good for you

I immediately began to regret when I decided to join Tommy and go paddling today. The party of yesterday wedding of a friend lasted into the early hours of the day and I've to say I've had better days. A lot better days.

Oh well, I can't bail out now. Fresh air is good for you!

Drangsvann explored

Had a great 2hr session with my dad paddling Drangsvann today, a small lake system connected to the fjord by a narrow channel with a lot of current as the tide enters it (makes it fun one way at least!). It truely is a little pearl not visited by many with its rocky green islands, lots of reed and shallow waters housing many aggressive swans by this time of year, protecting their territory and probably new born babies. I've spent many fun hours water skiing on this lake before [View map].

The Falkfångar trip (30km)

I'm spending the Easter in the beautiful mountains surrounding Höglekardalen, Åre county, in Sweden. I'm visiting the family of my girlfriend and the Falkfångar trip is a yearly family excursion with long traditions. The trip is about 30km long in hilly terrain, allowing for some spectacular views. Starting with a steep ascent to the top of the mountain, then following the ridge to later descend down to a popular ice fishing lake named Dörrsjöarna; before a long and tidious ascent up the other side of the mountain to Visjöen, and from there it's about 7km back to their cabin following the scooter tracks. A bit of a circle, see map below.
