Lapplandsleden, Day 7

Published on 15 August 2024 at 08:00

Wednesday, August 7, 2024, Tjåkkelestugan to Klimpfjäll, 20,04 km, total km 156,51, 6:32 hrs

 

I didn’t sleep much last night. There was a mosquito buzzing around me all night, skillfully avoiding getting caught.
I get up early and start walking before 6 a.m. There is a lot of condensation outside, and the two groups camping in their tents have very wet gear.

I really enjoy today’s walk. The terrain is easy, with great views. The sky presents a beautiful and endless variety of clouds. After almost 20 km, I reach Klimpfjäll.

Just in time because soon after my arrival the sky opens and heavy rain is pouring down. 

I won't stay in Klimpfjäll tonight. I quickly check the weather forecast for other areas that interest me but it seems there will be rain as well,  for at least a week. There is one bus leaving this small place at 2 pm and I decide to go on a 6 hrs bus journey, bringing me to Umeå. I have been there before, in 2022, after Nirthkalottleden / Padjalantaleden. I book two nights in the YMCA and will figure out my next steps there.
