We've just got back from two weeks in Sweden. What a place. People are friendly and helpful. The nature reserve we spent time in (Rogen) is not wilderness, but it feels like it. You hardly see another soul and when we were wild camping we would often wake to hear reindeer quietly walking through our camp. 

Not to put too fine a point on it, five days of wild camping was enough. We spent a couple of days in Ramundsberget in a spa hotel chilling out and then our final weekend in Stockholm. 

If you would like to see some photos, you can see them here. 

The four of us are off for two weeks in Sweden. We are flying to Stockholm and then driving eight hours into the centre of the country to the Rogen Nature Reserve where we are canoeing around the lakes there for five days. It's going to be a mini-adventure of wild camping, paddling and some walking in the wilderness. 

So, I will be quiet for a couple of weeks on the blog but I will be writing it up and catching up on my cycling diaries. 

It's a frustrating morning if you are trying to get hold of tickets for the London 2012 Olympics unless, of course, you are into niche sports. If so, then I expect you are having a good day!

Well, my mind is elsewhere when it comes to the near future, to be honest. To get back into the swing of the life of adventure I knew long ago, the four of us are working on a mini-adventure in Scandinavia in the next few weeks. 

We are heading into the middle of Sweden to canoe around the lakes in the Rogen Nature Reserve where is nothing but wilderness, water and wild beasts (perhaps a few other mini-adventurers. Wild camping for five days.
