Continuing north

We woke up to the morning weather report on the radio at 7, but stayed in the sleeping bags for another while. We slept quite good, it is always different to sleep in a sleeping bag than in a bed. It was warm enough that we didn't freeze. Breakfast, then repacking of the tent and the other stuff that we brought. Around 10 we started today's hike.

During three hours we walked along, with a couple of shorter breaks. Partly brushy, sometimes the trail was just a small path, other times an old gravel road. The surrounding nature was varied; sometimes young forest with less sight. We met three happy girls who were also hiking, but they were the only hikers beside us that we saw during the entire weekend.
After hiking on a sandy ridge for a while, we arrived at Lake Hissjön where we enjoyed our basic lunch. We took our time for one hour rest, even if we weren't drawn to the water for a swim, since the sun hid behind the clouds.

The afternoon hiking stretch was shorter, but took a while since it was going through pebble stone fields now and then. We had to take breaks more often since our legs started to get tired, and besides that, who can not stop when you pass a large field of ripe blueberries?

Part of the trail was quite swampy. Interesting rock formations at Offerstensberget (Sacrifice Mountain).









Finally we arrived at an isthmus by Lake Tavelsjön where we camped for the night. When the tent was up, we had a well tasting dinner (we were quite hungry at this point). After that we relaxed about one hour while we had our Saturday candy - fresh blueberries. Mosquitoes and gnats joined us. Supper before we crawled into the sleeping bags, even earlier than yesterday.
