18 July 2015: Bohusleden, Gothenburg, Sweden ca. 52 km
Somebody invited me into this 50k trail event on Facebook. The Lonesome Runners group once agains proves to be one of the best online (and offline) running grups on this planet! Great folks! :)
The idea was to run the first four stages of the Bohusleden Trail:
• Stage 1 - Blåvättnerna - Stensjön 19 km
• Stage 2 - Stensjön - Skatås 8 km
• Stage 3 - Skatås - Kåsjön 8,5 km
• Stage 4 - Kåsjön - Jonsered 9 km
» Information taken from the official wesite:
"Bohusleden consists of 27 stages, offering walks totalling 370 km through varied and beautiful countryside. The trail stretches from Lindome in the south, on the border with Halland, to Strömstad in the north.The trail is signposted with orange paint on trees or finger posts. At the start of each stage you will find an information board with distances, symbols, facts about the right to public access, etc.
On the maps you now hold in your hand, the stages are marked with red dots. You will also find tips about things worth seeing along each route. A few detours are also recommended."
I am not going to describe the whole thing, feel free to view the screenshots instead. :)
I can just say that this event was really, really great for me! I had such a great time with you guys! Thanx!
To run with "strangers", but still to be able to feel like a family is a quite unique feeling. I have the exact same feeling every time I'm running in the woods, during a trail race etc.! Simply great. We seem to be almost on the same level... we want to have fun.... running in the nature! Feel free.... enjoy life! :)
My simple goals were to:
- have fun
- run carefully due to the fact that i have to take Penicilin because of the Borrelia infection (Lyme disease)
- meet some new Lonesome Runners
- run new trails
- explore the first 4 Bohusleden stages
- return back home happy
Result: Mission accomplished 100%! :)
