A beautiful day on Åreskutan.
Well i’m back home in Åre, Sweden and i like it alot. It feels good to be back home!
On my way home I sat down in the airplane from Nice to Stockholm and met a friend from Åre, 
Henrik Winstedt, who had been down in Monaco for a couple of days. Had a chat with him about the last and the coming winter. We both looked forward to a good winter.
Yesterday i woke up in the clouds. Base was low. So was the top of the clouds :-). Meeting up with the Åreposse at Skysport and driving up to Hummeln(at 880m) with cars took us above the clouds. Sweet. But the clouds in the valley made it impossible to safely fly down.
So we hiked to Kabin berg, 1270m, and it was a lovely walk up. We walked in first layer and open goretexpants. Almost no wind and just perfect conditions for a walk. Also flying was nice. I had my Little Cloud and my new Supair Escape airbag. A very nice kit for this type of excursions. Very light and very fun…
Emil, Micke and Jonas were the others on the hike. Emil and Jonas both had new gliders so lots of fun was had flying down to Hummeln in the sunny sky.
All but Micke landed on Hummeln. Micka had been mumbling about gps and flying down through the clouds…
Bad idea. He found a hole in the clouds. But the hole ended in the lake. Luckily on the spot where the lake is super shallow. He stod in the middle of the lake with his floating device inflated. Phoned his brother who got he clubboat out and fetched him and his kit. Lucky Micke. I hope he wont do it again. Swiming in the lake in november is not a good idea. Especially not with his pg kit…
