• Day 5

    May 16–17, 2024 in Sweden ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    Day 5; Torpshammar - Borgsjö, 30 km

    Another long day. The problem is that the stage distances are not accurate by any means. This was supposed to be a 25 km stage, 26 km max! The difference doesn't sound much but believe me having to hike another 4 kilometers in the afternoon heat instead of one is a huge difference.

    The first part of the day also had so many beautiful tent spots but the latter part didn't have any, not beautiful nor ugly. I just had to push on to reach the Borgsjö pilgrim center, which was already closed.

    Oh well, I can get water and electricity here and the toilet is open. Also, I can get ice cream from the nearby gas station. So I'm just fine.
