Hiking

One of my favourite things to do is to go hiking and wild-camping with my family and my friends. My parents started taking me on hiking trips when I was four years old. They managed to cement in me a love of nature, mountains, swimming in freezing lakes and carrying everything you need to survive in a backpack. Coming from Sweden, where Allemansrätten means we can walk and camp pretty much everywhere, I am very happy that the Right to Roam exists here in Scotland. In Sweden, my family and I have hiked in the areas of Trysil, Grövelsjön, Padjelanta, Vålådalen, Storulvån and around Funäsfjällen. In Scotland, my friends and I have hiked along the Three Loch Way and Rob Roy Way.
