Ruben is back to talk luggage, bears and what makes S:t Olavsleden great

A little bit of tech problems in the beginning, sorry about that!
Ruben joins me to talk about luggage, both the kind you carry with you and the stuff you have transported between lodging on your pilgrimage along S.t Olavsleden. Ruben also tell me that he gets a lot of questions about animals along the trail but we decide you would be very lucky if you see a bear or a wolf and it's the mosquitos you need to fight with if you don't have the right repellants. 
We also talk a bit about the trail and the people who provide service a long the trail and without whom, S:t Olavsleden would't exist. We lost one of them, this past Sunday, Kärstin in Lombäcksstugorna. Among her passions was S:t Olavsleden, we will miss her and do what we can to honor her in our efforts to make S.t Olavsleden a great place to find yourself and be a part of a great community. 
 

Visit with guided tour of Naturum in Borgsjö

Naturum is the place to learn about the nature and rural life in the valley of Ljungandalen. Aline gave us a guided tour. 
 

Vist with Sten Ove at Borgsjö Hembygdsgård

Learn about the early days of the trail and about the church in Borgsjö´s initiative serving free waffles and coffee to all pilgrims with credentials. Sten Ove Danielsson tells about his involvement in the path and made the generous offer of assisting any pilgrim in need of assitance when they are in Borgsjö. Weither it is help to find new shoes or if they need to go to the pharmacy, Sten Ove is your man in Borgsjö. I give you his contact information at the end of the show.
