8am train Stockholm-Gothenburg (you even get a 'breakfast box' in first class, and the coffee is not *quite* as bad as airline coffee), where I thumbed a lift with Blair and since we had intentionally both brought the model event map from WMOC 2015, went orienteering on Gothenburg granite, with its distinctive north-south ridges and where bare rock is actually even sometimes mapped. I'd been looking forward to this, and more generally to orienteering in Europe because it would be soft underfoot, but in fact everything is so dry currently (this reminded me of Mt Beckworth in March) that my knees have been gradually getting worse over the past couple of weeks, and I couldn't really manage to run so this turned more into a blueberry-sampling expedition. That didn't stop me from having room in my tummy for an entire Swedish pizza afterwards!

Crossed Helsingborg-Helsingor on the ferry called Hamlet and stayed at the YHA right on the coast (surely a faded seaside hotel from the 1920s) which was full of golden-haired children all presumably on a summer camp, although there didn't seem to be any definite adult supervision.
