Two Nites above Langdale,with Matt and Lee

-

 So met up with Matt holland friday afternoon and we had a good natter as we walked up out of the valley to camp just below Great knott,above Red tarn





  
So matt had brought his Solomid and was good to see the difference between it and the Duomid 








 It was a lovely evening but a biting wind,Lee was walking in from Three Shire later so i wandered over the various peaks of Cold pike and looked if i could see him




Tea was another Bla Bland and it was another belter,i bought a job lot of these from Bascamp foods,who ive used for last few years,happy to report this one tasted excellent .....seems i have another favorite flavour 





                                              Matts Solomid





Oscar enjoyed doing the dishes





Lee turned up around 8-30 and we had tea and a chat for a while


Had a play with the Gopro but the super bright moon kept washing things out 






Saturday was a great start to the day,feet were soon pushed into trail shoes and brews were on









I was lucky to catch the first of the suns warmth !









 So after a walk back over Cold pike and the Crinkles Matt left us to return home,after another dinner stop me and Lee decided to have a short day and return over the Crinkles to camp on Little Stand,a spot we both have wanted to camp on for a while now










We found a good spot just below the summit Cairn.The biting wind had us brewing through the afternoon.Sadly sunset was another no show 














 So the morning wasnt much,with snow flurries followed us back down to Lees car and then a breakfast at Brambles....Thanks for looking

    Nice.
    Soon I will have a Solomid XL and a Cuben Duomid, because I is a greedy suvern bar steward who craves to live up in 'T Norf.
    That may require a divorce.
    But heh.. sacrifice is sometimes needed 😂😂

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...
