Journey: Ales Stenar – Malmö – Arken (Denmark) We were up with the crows this morning, and found a lovely beach for the pups to have a roll around and play. Jasper has taken to having the occasional roll but Mabel just loves it and must have rolled 17+ times. Arriving in Malmö we had …

Day 61 – Ancient history on an island
Journey: Aboda Klint – Kalmar Castle – Öland (various sites) – Lake Tiken Mabel and I love our morning snuggles and it’s always hard getting us out of bed and on the go, but once achieved we were raring to go on our morning walk in the forests at Aboda Klint. There are two routes …
Day 60 – Nature, nature and more nature
Journey: Trollparken – Hammersbadet – Norra Kvill National Park – Runkesten – Co-op – More Kastell – Aboda Klint It has been a few days since Mabel rolled in sand so a little beach around the corner from Trollparken seemed the obvious choice for the pups first walk. On arrival the beach was a tiny …
Day 59 – We found Trolls!
Journey: Naturum Stendorren – Soderkopings Sluss Gota Canal – Trollparken Garpes Banner Last night I slept on the sofa with the pups and woke up at 8:40! An amazing lie in, I’m getting to be quite a pro at them 😂🙈 With Sweden being so big and having masses of inland lakes everywhere takes ages to …
Day 58 – An odd way to see Stockholm
Journey: Arby Nature Reserve – Gripsholm Castle – Stockholm – MoraÃ¥ns DalgÃ¥ng Today’s plan was to head into Stockholm. I’m not a big fan of cities so Markles largely plans the cities and I add his suggestions to my Google flag map of where to go. With still a way to drive I’d found a …
Day 57 – On the road to nowhere
Journey: Karlstad – Garphyttans Nature Reserve – Kvarntorpshögen – Ruda Gärd – Siguard Inscription It generally works out that I organise the route…but this doesn’t always make for the most logical journey as I do love going into the wilds and can be easily led by a pretty Google picture/reviews. When we left Karlstad we …
Day 56 – Rock Carvings, Bouldering and Standing stones
Journey: Aspeberget – Kungskylyftan Fjallabacka – Veddö Nature Reserve – Greby – Karlstad Monday’s rock! We have had such a great day outdoors with the sun shining. I had slept like a log, only got 3mins into my sleep meditation audio and was zonked and slept through a caravan arriving at 1am which supposedly set …

Day 55 – Lazy wet Sunday
Journey: Hunehals Borg – Gothenburg – Aspeberget Rock Carvings I was not for getting up this morning and so we had a very lazy Sunday morning…I could have had a swim in the lake but just getting dressed was hard enough. I think my body is finally suggesting we stop and rest…I’ve got another acro …
Day 54 – Tootling about in the rain
Journey: Sven Jons Udde – Halmstad – Varberg – Fjaras – Hovs Haller Ah what a soggy day but I still love the sound of the rain on the van roof – it’s never as bad outside as it sounds. We were warned there is a lot more driving between things in Sweden and so …
