A friend had  a weeks holiday planned for wild camping in Scotland,and my wife was kind enough to allow me to attend,so a bit of emailing and id managed to change his plans completely (sorry Lee) and i had a plan for 5 nites and 6 days through the rough bounds of Knoydart and beyond a little....

The start of a beautiful walk out too Barisdale bay





Barrisdale bay,where we collected some Mussels and cooked them up with fresh garlic in the bothy 

























The next morning started in cloud but before we had brewed we were treated to a great inversion,which just got better all day...one for the days when we can no longer reach these places


The green ones my Cuben Duomid and the other my good friend Lee's cuben Liar



  
So the next day soon cleared to start two days above the clouds

Sweden DAY 7 2022,Backpacking above the Arctic circle line

Day 7 started cold with a good frost on the ground,so it was a breakfast in bed sort of start...The weather looked like another good day of blue skies   The very pointy shaped Drakryggen loomed up into the crystal blue skies Now on Day 7 food supplies were much less and very much smaller than when we had set of,today we had 1 pass left to cross to get us to the end of the JoJo trail section  But first we had to return back up the valley to where we had dropped into it,the views were amazing  The narrow ridge of Gaskkasbakti (2043m 6702 ft ) We turned East at the end of the valley crossing the bottom of this very impressive ridge                    First part of the pass ahead 👆 This section was stunning, with the eyes constantly drawn in every direction,this pointy peak was Giebmebakti,the dusting of snow kept us checking every footstep as we tramped along the frozen rocky terrain  The memorial to a helicopter crash ...

With another night time photo session it was weary heads that woke,the Trailstars "no door" option allowing us to see another good days weather was ready to great us    My cup sadly was cracked when i took it out of my pack on Day 1 off this trip,luckily some of Treadlite gears excellent Cuben tape sealed it perfectly  The day started cold again with a fresh wind but warmed as we followed the river and path down to the valley bottom Ive walked this valley section before on my first trip here and it was again alive with autumn colours,every shade of yellow was on display As this path serves the Kebnekaise Fjallstation and access upto the Tarfala science station/huts its a good path all wet sections well boarded over in the two plank style of these far Northern regions  It was on this section i got chatting to some folk,who turned out to be finishing and leaving there Science work at the Trafala station,they were surprised we had been over the JoJo trail,tell...

This years trip was to Sarek National Park in the far North of Sweden an,area protected with World heritage status.With mountains over 2000m and 100 glaciers,a place of  both long deep narrow valleys,but also wide flat high ones.Both of which  are criss crossed with wild rivers and glacier fed Lakes all joined together by miles of high alpine tundra and only 2 bridges in the park It took us a full day of flights and trains and taxis to get to Lulea where we met up with Christie Crowler who had just finished her walk,we were to meet Matt Holland,who was going to join us,but the bad weather and the big storm had him change his plans    Hotel was ok and close to the train staition,which we needed in the morning,so after grabbing our fuel off Christie (fanks again) we went to our room and got everything packed away We then all met up and went for tea as Chrissie told us of the storm they had caught at the end of her walk,she bumped into Dale too while out hiking  Th...
