I’ll Get You Yet: Hoiganvaggi 2013
Last year me and the fabulous miss T was forced to abandon Hoiganvaggi thanks to massive amounts on H2O in the form snow, mist, clouds, and water. When it turned out that this years planned Kungsleden hike was canceled, I quickly decided to give it another go. Hoiganvaggi, I’ll get you yet!
fungrimOvercast: Padjelanta -12
New week, new trail companion. The usual gang of R+V and yours truly was broken up this year as R+V decided to take a road trip to the USA in July. So for this year’s longer trek, it ended up being me and Miss C only, as we aimed for Padjelanta and the Padjelanta trail for 6 days.
fungrimThere and Back Again: Katterjåkk -12
First trek of the year was to be a short one with Miss T. She’s a outdoors champion that recently moved away from Stockholm, and St Jacobs Chamber Choir, to work in Kiruna in north of Sweden. And for reasons I can’t really remember we’d talked about me coming up to do a short trek together. Said and done! The plan, [...]
fungrimMinimalist/Barefoot Running and the Hike
This post also appears at The Run Smiley Collective, go read it there as well! Some years back, the gang and I started to get interested in light-weight hiking. A small but persistent group of Swedish hikers started moaning about the weight that you traditionally carry around: heavy back pack, heavy tents, and relevant for this post, [...]
fungrimAmmarnäs -> Hemavan 2011
A new year, a new part of Kungsleden. The crew this year was V+R together with little sister C, but also an old acquaintance in the form of Gustav who went with us a short hike a few years back, and now graced us with his presence again. This was to be a warm-up for a longer trek into Sarek later this year. However, for various reasons [...]
fungrimSaltoluokta -> Kvikjokk 2010
This year we continued our quest to do the entire length of Kungsleden. And when I say “we” I mean R+V (as usual, I’ll have to come up with better nic’s for you guys) and V’s little sister, miss C. As usual we really looked forward to it. Actually, V had been doing lists and planned the stuff since… er… well, last year I guess.Our [...]
fungrimBackpost: Abisko -> Kebnekaise 2009
I was about to set down this years trekking memories when I realized I have not documented all of last years trips. Oh my… So I’d better do that then eh? My memory being what it is, this is the trip me, V+R did between Abisko and Kebnekaise last year. We’d decided to Kungsleden one bit after another and also that we go [...]
fungrimAbisko 8-11 July 2009
Introduction Thanks to Carina and Gustav I finally got together the n00b trek I’ve been speaking about for a while. So, Yours Truly, Carina, Gustav and to my happy surprise also Jennyann (also known as Red Eyed Jenna elsewhere on this blog) went for a short hike in the Abisko range in the beginning of July. Yes, we have pretty [...]
fungrimGrövelsjön 4-7 September 2008
Introduction I have talked about walking alone for some time now… Actually, since I first started hiking the Swedish mountains. But I never got around to it. Until now. Since this would be my first time up alone, and also because I was on a bit of a budget, I decided to go back to Grövelsjön again. Easy to get to cheaply and also [...]
