Day 9. Pårte to Kvikkjokk
Another bright sunny day, the temperature went up to 23⁰. I wasn't expecting the weather to be so good, it's bound to get worse before the end.

| Leaving the campsite |
Today's walk was all through the forest mostly on fairly level ground with a mixture of roots, rocks and boardwalks.
 |
| A rare open section |
There were some fine big dragonflies and for the first time I saw a female Capercaillie with a chick. I could have got some sort of photo of the chick but I waited untill I was closer and ended up with none because It flustered away.

| Lake |
The view opened up to the distant mountains when I reached Lake Dáhtá where there were some nice campsites along the shore.
 |
| Another glimpse of the hills |
 |
| Fallen tree on the path, at least they are easier to get around than the ones in New Zealand |
The walk finished at lunchtime when I walked into the Fjällstation at Kvikkjokk just as the restaurant was opening.
 |
| Bigger trees and wider paths at the end |

A short day but l had decided to stay here, resupply, catch up with the blog, charge my phone and generally chill before tackling the next few wilder days.
