A friendly guy at the campsite called Tony gave me some of his barbecue as there was too much for his family to eat. I never pass up a free meal especially when I need to eat as much as possible. The campsite was nice, but I always begrudge having to put money in a slot to have a shower, surely this should be included in the price?
I woke to a beautiful sunny morning and blue sky. This lasted about an hour before it went black and started to rain. As I write this it is still raining. In terms of weather it’s been an absolutely horrible day. I’ve had a driving headwind and of course the rain. The ride today was long and the weather made it gruelling, but I put my head down and motored on to Trollhattan. I’m not sure how far I’ve ridden today but it felt like a long one.
Arriving in Trollhattan I made my way to the campsite. I was refused camping without having a Scandinavian Camping Card. Ok, I’ve been asked if I’ve had one all through Sweden and Finland but nobody’s ever denied me camping before. I argued with him for a bit but as I wasn’t getting anywhere I had to cycle another 8km south to another campsite. She said she wasn’t going to force anyone to buy a camping card so I’m staying here. In fact its better really as I’m right on the road I need tomorrow to go to Goteborg.
