76

... 75 posts so far - for a hike of 75 days. Well, in the end it was only half way and 42 days. But... I gained experience, I enjoyed it - most of the time - and ... I will do it again. Yes!

So I am ready for a second chance on gröna bandet, this time northbound starting at Grövelsjön. I go solo again, but Paul, who I met on last year's trip, is going to start the same day. We are 50 years apart, but we have been communicating a lot in the meantime. I had my influencers - Karin and Svante - who inspired me to go. So my talking about gröna bandet might have inspired him to take the challenge.

My backpack is lighter - though far from ultralight - this year, more about that later. I am more determined, I know better what to expect and I am eager to go! Can't wait, backpack half packed, things and stuff sorted, thinking of last items to take or to leave. ;)

The weather has been so amazing for the last 6 weeks, that I am worried about the summer to come. Will it stay - sunny and dry - like this? Hard to imagine! Will there be wind and rain? Who knows. 

You - the reader - are welcome to follow me online along the trail (see find me link), comment on my posts or get into contact (see email link) with me. And ... if you like, why not join for a couple of days.
