Starting the trip - the boat over from Kebnats to Saltoluokta. This is about two and a half hours from Gällivare, most of it up a dead-end road to Ritsem (which is 70km further, at one end of the Padjelantelenden).

View up to the hostel at Saltoluokta.

On a walk up to Pietsaure (the village up by the lake about four miles away). This ant hill is about 5 feet high - that's my map for comparison.

First day on the Kungsleden, walking down towards Sitojaure. Weather wasn't too good and I'd just found the GPS didn't work properly.

Cabin at Sitojaure

Ablutions were a little primitive!
21/8/03 09:17
I took the ferry up from Sitojaure into Sarek - took about half an hour and cost 250Kr (about £20). At this point the lake was very shallow and the ferryman had to pick his way through guided by the poles. Weather very wet! When I arrived there seemed no way of calling the ferry back - only way out is through.
21/8/03 10:12
This was just above Rinim at the start of the walk through Sarek.
21/8/03 11:38
View at the start of the walk along Basstavágge. The further stream is coming down from a glacier on Ähpár.
