We wake up already at six. The sun makes a short
visit. My friend say that the view east from Hournatj on Kungsleden is
good, he walked there when he walked from Nikkaluokta to meet me in
Kvikkjokk. I decide that I want to
have
a look at it. We hope that the heavy clouds that has
appeared
on the sky will disappear until the afternoon. To reach Huornatj do we
cross Ivarlako. The main impression of this
part of Ivarlako is: wet and areas with osier. But since it is almost
flat is it easy to walk and our speed is high. It is a warm day, and
humid. Sweating. The heavy clouds fall
further down,
and they pour their water on us. The visibility is very poor.
A day like this, will the view at Huornatj be no view. The
clouds are now almost at ground level. We take a shortcut
through
the forest, and follow for a few kilometers a brook down to Kungsleden.
The dense vegetation, mainly birches, embrace
us.
Kungsleden appear suddenly. This part of Kungsleden is through a
forest, all the way to Kvikkjokk, mainly consisting of spruce. We take
a break in the Pårte cabin, wondering if we should stay here over
night.
During
the break is the weather improving, and we continue for a few more
kilometers
to the lake Stuor-Tata. A small opening in the forest at the shore is
a perfect
tenting site for us. We take a bath in the lake, and eat dinner in the
sunset.
