Icecapades

Dee is over from England for a long weekend and the weather is behaving itself - that is to say, the sun is bright and the snow is deep. We've been crashing about in the forest and managed not to get lost, which was a bit of a minor miracle really. We didn't see any wildlife, but we did happen across moose footprints.



Sweden has a "right to roam" arrangement whereby walkers are allowed to crash about wherever they wish, provided they refrain from peering through the windows of isolated saunas. The downside of this is that there are very few dedicated footpaths. I've been trying to walk around the lake for a long time, but I've always failed because it involves walking along a main road, or a railway line, or wading. We got rather further than usual today by walking across the ice, until we chickened out and legged it back to terra firma. No swimming for us!
