A highlight from my recent trip around the Baltic

This was an amazing lake in Sweden, about 40km east of Askersund. There was a shelter here and a fire pit, and no one else around! Sweden and Finland were definitely the highlights on this trip.

Very nice. Did you actually make a fire? I could never be bothered to start one for myself, i'm sure with friends it would have been cool to do so though.
- Yes I usually did. The shelters in Sweden and Finland generally had a supply of logs which made it pretty easy. It was useful for saving camping gas which was running low, and for drying clothes/towel etc. Keeps the mosquitoes away too!
  
  That's great you did that, i should have given it a go at some point, just never really felt like it.
  
  How did you find the shelters, any special resources that you used? And did you go all the way around the baltic?
