Gålö lingonberries

After last week's visit to Gålö I just knew that I had to go back there to pick some lingonberries because they were truly abundant there and I've actually never picked lingonberries before! The weather forecast predicted lots of rain and fairly high winds, but I did not want to waste the weekend away at home just because of that, so I packed my best rain gear and headed out anyways.On the first day I took a pretty direct route directly to Gålö and spent some time exploring Apelviksudd in more detail than last time. The terrain is not suitable for biking so I had to push or even carry the bike a lot to get around here. But I came across some truly beautiful and untouched nature, so it was well worth it. In the evening the sun finally did peek out for a bit, creating a beutiful sunset. The second day it was really windy, but at least the sun was shining! I started picking lingonberries right away. Many of the berries had fallen to the ground due to the wind and rain, so it was a bit more difficult to pick them than I expected. After a few hours I ended up with 1.5kg of berries to carry back home.On the way home I wanted to try a more interesting route than the direct one, so I planned to cut through a bunch of different nature reserves, including Paradiset, Orlången and Gömmaren. Turns out there was a pretty mean and unrelenting headwind almost the entire way, but I did make it in the end. On the way I also caught a glimpse of Flemingsbergsskogen, Björksättrahalvön and Skeppnan, all of which I want to explore further some other time.
