Late Autumn Kayaking in Sweden

About two weeks ago, I found this beautiful photograph of a moonlit Trango 4 in my inbox. In his message, Anders wrote that he lives and works in Sweden, and he often kayaks and camps with MHW equipment. Intrigued, I emailed Anders Holmberg, the photographer, and asked him to write a few lines.

Anders obliged, and sent us the following photographs and trip report.

20 - 21 October, 2007

My wife Annica, some friends, and myself left the small town of Grebbestad on the Swedish Westcoast late morning, Saturday October 20, 2007. After a lunch break on another isolated island, we arrived at 'Stora Maakholmen', pos. Lat N 58 deg 38.6 min, Long E 011 deg 12.4 min, just in time to pitch our tents before it went dark.

It was a beautiful evening and night. Gathered around the fire, we cooked a variety of food, ranging between deer, fresh lobster and freeze dried. Although we had a campfire, most of us cook on the Swedish Trangia Camping stove, equipped with gas burners. We had filet of deer (I hunt...), salad and a glass (or was it two?) of a good California red wine. After that, rhum-testing (!) and storytelling until late.
