Having had very nice weather during the last few days I had to pay a price for today, rain all day with strong wind and going up on the fjell being in the clouds. It was reasonable until arriving at Källfjällets Fäbod as I staid below tree line. Climbing to Närfjällsstugan became a very wet adventure. My boots were pretty wet so I did not care much what I stepped on. The hut was pretty well sized. During my late lunch the wind was howling around the hug. On and off there was a little bit of vision when the clouds opened up for a moment. Eventually I had to move on. Being in the clouds the next markings were hard to see. It was slow moving on. It only improved once I got back below tree line. In hut Granfjällssätern I started the stove to dry out my wet clothes. During the whole day I only met one day hiker. Otherwise I was on my own.
