We are planning on going for a few months next year. We were thinking of May, June and July.

Anyone think those months are good or when would be better?

Went In may, less moho traffic around and easier to wild camp.

A few of my photos from our trip a couple of years ago.

Loved it.

Is it easy finding petrol stations in rural Sweden ?

We didn't have any problems.

Fuel is no problem, we found it the same price or maybe a tad dearer than UK.

Refillable LPG is a bit rare though - you probably have to go looking, we used mylpg app.

None of the automated petrol machines would take my first direct visa debit card, so used my credit card instead!

I found a cabinet key useful in several stopovers, lent it to a few people who were left scratching their heads when they came to refill their water tanks.

Kayaks almost essential equipment

We've kayaked in some of the more southern fjords and also done white water rafting on glacier melt where I demonstrated the art of falling in and rescue. Luckily I was attired in my dry suit so came out warm and laughing at my fellow rafters reactions. They were grateful further on when the other rafts had to practice rescue and we had already done it.

It is possible to hire kayaks and equipment at some tourist information stops as well as commercial hire places - and not overly expensive from tourist info.
