Ying and I spent 4 days kayaking the central lakes of Sweden this August. We were in the Dalarna province, about 3 hours west of Stockholm. We brought our folding Pakboat kayak from London on the plane, and then took a train to the small town of Smedjebacken, from where we paddled south.

Our campsite on Day 3
Our boat was full of stuff; camping gear, clothing and food, but it was great paddling on placid waters, with only a little rain on day 1.

At Söderbärke jetty
Each night we found a camp site; all basic but very well placed camping spots right next to the lake. So all we had to do was pull the boat out of the water, and take out the gear. They had shelters, plus places to build fires, and sometimes even toilets.

On our last day, as we dismantled the kayak at Angelberg.
