Wednesday 1st July 2026

Sunny at times today. We travelled north to Trollhatten where we took on LPG, diesel and did a supermarket shop. As we were getting ready to leave the supermarket car park the linkage which opens and closes our toilet came adrift. I managed, with great difficulty to screw it back together - desperate stuff.

We continued to travel north, trying a couple of potential overnight stops along the way - neither took our fancy. We eventually stopped for the day at Saffle at a beautiful parking area by the water. Here's the view from the sliding door on the side of our van.

Another van, seen in the distance here, turned up and left. Otherwise we were on our own.

There is a marina here. We went for a ride/walk.

We went along a shady path as far as we could go before it got too narrow and bumpy.

We saw lots of butterflies while we were out and about.

The marina is very quiet today. Just a few comings and goings, The water here is an inlet from Lake Vanern - Dalbosjon which is the the largest freshwater lake in the EU with an area of 5,655 square kilometres!

Dusk is getting later and later as we travel north. We watched England 2 Democratic Republic of Congo 1 on Swedish TV. I thought England, rated 4th in the world, were very poor against a side rated 35th.

Today we travelled 114 miles (184 kilometres). We are at: N59.12622 E12.92664
