Anyone for a Swedish climbing roadtrip?

I found this trailer for the new bouldering Film "Swedish Meatballs"



As I'm going to be a little closser in the future, anyone care to join me on a trip...

(if that's whetted your appetite try these:
More bouldering from Kjuge
trailer for earlier film
diary of a road trip

climbing longer routes in Goteborg
Svanvik sports routes
Tjornbro sports routes
Svanvik sports routes
Viks Kile routes )

So when I've finished tidying the flat I'll have to start getting back into climbing fitness!

phew...

I can breathe again...

The reason behind my european odessy last week and for my stressfull waiting can now be revealed...

but won't till at least tomorrow as I want to relax and enjoy myself for a bit first.

the unbareable art of waiting...

I'm not the most patient of people, so today, after a sleepless night I'm runing a little ragged!

I'm waiting, waiting, waiting,

...for what?

Well when I find out I'll let you know... sorry can't say anymore right now...

Update

...Ok I'm feeling better after the journey!

I felt dizzy and had a headache a few times yesterday, but feel alot better today. The knee still hurts, baut at least I can bend it!

So hopefully I'm fully on the mend now, and the short trip away won't have put me back.

Anyway... full service will resume shortly and I'll keep you up to date with all the events going on...

Note to self...

don't run to catch a plane (at least until I'm 100% better)

I made it with just one minute to spare... almost coughed my lungs up afterwards though.

Where was I flying to/from?

Well, that will have to wait a bit longer!

Anyway I'm feeling better- I haven't got my CT scan results back yet, however I'm not feeling dizzy at the moment; but I do still get tired. So I'm not 100% yet. Also something happened to my knee yesterday, it might have been the running or cramped filghts or the transfers, whatever. Its quite painful when I try to bend my knee. Oh dear, I'm falling to pieces!

So how are you then...?

A few people have been asking, so here's the answer... not good.

I've been off "work" for 7 weeks now, which is not doing my sanity or budget any good.

The specialist has found that my throat hasn't healed properly since I had a virus back in the end of October last year. This would explain why my throat has been bad for a while!

However they still don't know why I'm suffering from dizzieness, lightheadedness, headaches, fatigue, muscel tiredness, etc- so I'm waiting for an MRI scan to show up if anythings the problem there.

So, aplogies for not being "out there" more- I've just not been up to it...
