Supported by my parents and sister I started at 7am at Korrö. There were more passages with tall, wet grass than I had anticipated, which slowed me down considerably. I adjusted my goal to simply finish and walked the last three hours, plus most passages that weren't easily runnable once I got tired.

Still a great adventure in solitude, I met three hikers and only a handful of people in a couple of tiny villages, but was entirely alone on most of the route. Nice to experience the environment from Vilhelm Moberg's books about the Emigrants.

Also really happy to have raised more than SEK 10,000 for a water tank in a village in northern Kenya.
