  Day 4,Overnight it had been windy and wet and the forecast we pulled in,gave more of the same for today  The Trailstar once again proved its worth as an excellent shelter for these longer trips in wild remote places,a brief gap between showers allowed us to pack our shelters away fairly dry The map showed an old Sami hut (Pielastugan) on the map so we decided to give it a visit,it sat out on a spur of land in Lake Bielajavratja Sadly its not in good condition and was rather mouldy and unloved,but it still mainly dry inside   We saw some blue skies and were hopeful of some dryer weather,heavy cold showers joined the wind the mix instead  The views out towards the mountain Bierikbakte,sat at over 5000 ft and at the foot of which we ended up camping  I had wanted to camp close to the foot of the mountain,but that would have meant crossing the glacier river,first thing in the morning,so we searched this side of the river and found a lovely flat spot,for an early c...
