Wanderings up North

Day 4 started and remained largely a wet day,but the night had been ok rain and some wind but nothing to note,off for 8 am it was a wet 7c  L.NT  As we headed down the valley we spotted this lonely cabin,but it was on the other side of the river,that snaked down the valley The showers came on and off and with a slight breeze in our faces,we were luckily enough to chance an encounter with a family ? of three Moose,they looked to be huge,we kept our distant,thrilled with seeing them  Once out of the trees/shrubs we were on a small but good path,but where it often climbed up a bit was wet and slippy walking,roots being wet roots and leaves happy to deposit any spare rainfall they supported onto us                 Above picture shows Passustjakka a peak over 6000ft  A first glimpse up towards the Nallu valley a mile or so short of the Vistasstugan cabin  Five years ago when i past here with Lee and Matt i bought some chocolate...

 D ay 3 started dry with a slight breeze,the temp around 8c again.I love the ritual of stove on brew then hot water on oats/raisin mix   "Leaving No Trace" again we set off under dry but cloudy skies,temp at 7c for 8 am  These hats from Alpinelite must have been one of the most worn items of the trip,probably my favorite bit of new kit in recent years,along with a pair of his 20g Alpha mitts  We rejoined the track for a short while and then cut across marshy ground to get to our river crossing,it was about 140 yards across but the water was crystal clear so it was easy to see foot placments....pants off ! we were soon across and back on the planned route  But first we had the river to cross over,but it wasnt too deep or that cold,knee deep in places  The weather stayed mainly dry,as we followed the faint path along we found this print,most folk suggest a dog one said possibly a young wolf...you can but dream As the breeze was in our faces we came up on...
