Wanders through Swedish Laplands day 4

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 and heated up some meat balls,less said about them ! Jamie asked but sadly the cupboard was bare 

 

We had lunch here as another heavy shower past over,then packs back on headed across the bridge,to follow the drenched path up towards the peak of Nallu 

The plan had been to turn,just before Nallu,then climb it from the rear the next day.But the forcast id got at dinnertime gave more rain and cloud.So we pushed on to where id camped before with Lee @ Matt,a spot Geoff and Chrissie had told us about 6 yrs ago 

The jagged imposing ridge line of Raitatjakka Reaiddacohkka looked like it had some early snow on  top, the temp had certainly dropped during the afternoon 

It seemed to be further than i remember but we did find the same place,i think,so shelters were soon staked out and we nipped out for water between showers

Cuppa soup and two brews helped warm me up as the wind rattled down from above and the showers continued,sounding sleety at times.

I remember looking up at glacier last time i slept here,my mind wondering away at what lay in the valley beyond,tomorrows route and all new to me

Then it was time for tea another favorite from Basecamp foods 

Looking up the valley in a brief clearing we saw Tjaktjatjakka and Ceakcacohkka and the galciers,which were helping make the fresh wind much colder as it blew over us
