Description
Day two of my adventure and it was time to visit some new locations. However all did not go to plan… i overslept by 2 hours and then when I reached my first location (Bergfors) the heavens opened and I got soaked through to the bone. Typically as I went back to the car (after climbing up embankments, over rocks and harsh terrain!) the weather improved and thankfully didn’t rain again (on me at least for the rest of that day. You can see just how bad the rain was in the first clip. Anyway, the locations are are follows:

Bergförs, Abisko, Kopparasen, Vassijaure & Kiruna. As you can see in the last clip, the amount of Mosquitos in this part of the world is insane - bring insect repellent!!!!

Enjoy!
