#1: Overview

(visited by Karl Bryk and Heidi Peschl)

14-Aug-2021 -- This is the ninth of 10 CP visits made during a 2 week trip to Sweden.

The previous is N62 E15.

The next is N62 E17.

After a 13km drive along rough forest tracks we stopped about 380m from the CP (N61.99424 E16.00443). The road did continue further but the centre of the road had small bushes growing on it and these were making disconcerting noises on the bottom or the car. 380m was no distance anyway.

We walked along the road and then at N61.99752 E15.99795 headed into the trees towards the CP. Some difficult terrain - bushes and tree stumps - then downhill towards the lake edge and then onto the rocks and to the CP on those rocks. A magnificant location for a CP.

The usual photos were taken, then we headed back to the car, munching lots of Blue berries on the way back. Back at the car we headed towards N62 E17, with the intention of nothing more then a recce to see what it looks like.
