What's going down?
- Location & distance: Solo through-hike in northern Sweden, from Kvikkjokk to Abisko, ~230 km (~143 mi).
- Time & duration: Start end of july, expected 15 days hike. Contains extra summit loops (Skierfe, Kebnekaise).
- Weather: Expected daytime temps around 15/20C (59/68F), later going down to 10/15C (50/59F), nighttime about 5C (9F) cooler still, with incidental dips down to 0C (32F). On average 1 in 4 days some amount of rain can be expected.
- Supplies: Resupply food & fuel in mountain huts (every 2-3 days). Consumable listing is for heaviest hauls just after resupply.
- Facilities: Using hostels & restaurants on resupply days and finish day (4 times in total), camping out for the rest of the time, might occasionally use a sauna along the way.
- Logistics: Public transport all the way. 60h from my house in NL to Kvikkjokk, 52h from Abisko back home.
