Longish day from our campsite to Keb station, but very rugged scenery. Also saw about 200 reindeer keeping cool on a snowpatch.

Hike from Tjälkjä to a campsite a few km past Sälka hut. We stopped at the high point of the Kungsladen to watch the leaders of the fjallraven classic run past. They were on track to do the whole 100+kms in around 13 hours. Over the rest of the trip we'd meet many of the 2000 hikers doing it in times ranging up to 5 days.

Hike to Tjäktja. Fairly easy hike.

Lots of daylight left so we decided to climb a mountain nearby via a ridge Bash had spotted. Tricky in spots but well worth it with fantasric 360 views all the way into Norway.

Hike from our campsite- to Alesjaurelesaure. Fairly long but easy hike. We camped near the cabin and cooked in their kitchen, avoiding bugs.

Abisko to 2K past Abiskojaure on the Kungsläden trail. My pack was18kg, good for backpacking with several day's food but still more than I'd hoped. We got to the cabin in lots of time so after a beer we headed on to camp by a river a few km on. Nice spot but very buggy around dinner time.
