Is it ok if us Swede's tag along also? =)
I live on the other side of the country but as you noticed, Sweden is a narrow (but somewhat long =) land so it's not far by train =)

According to a friend of mine the Final A2 exam is on the 29th of june this year. so hopefully i will have subjects where the exams are a little earlier. For bibblesby i have to go backj to school after my AS exams this year on the 13th of june to start the A2 course just as arctic hobo says, therefore it would just be taking normal days off school for you... in theory. 
Are you doing A2 exams next year Andy? And so do you think me and you will be finnishing around the same time?

Not sure what A2 exams are. I'm finishing 9'th grade now (i'm 16) and will be heading of to boarding school next year, but i'll be long done by the end of June.Yggdrasil said:According to a friend of mine the Final A2 exam is on the 29th of june this year. so hopefully i will have subjects where the exams are a little earlier.

In that case at a guess i would say A2 exams are the equivelant of finnishing the second year in boarding school just the A2's end slightly later.
I quess it's this route you mention http://www.doderhult.snf.se/karta.html?
However the full route is 160 km long and would take 16 days to walk... I vote for parts 4-7
I'll probably tag along
I'm a Swede but lives in the UK and have started to desperately miss the swedish countryside in the summer...

Snow? Sweden is not THAT far north 
Temperature will be roughly the same as in the UK, ie everything from 12C and hailstorms to 25C and baking sun is possible.

Fantastic idea as I was thinking of planning a trip to Sweden (mainly canoeing) but could fit that in I'm sure. It would be nice to meet likeminded people. The thing is will my dogs be allowed to come? There are skilled at bushcraft and quite chilled.

If your dogs doesn't yet have their pet travel passports it is high time to start the process! It's at least a six months process and quite expensive
Been there, done that.In general it isn't any kind of problem to bring dogs into the Swedish countryside, during certain time periods they have to be kept on a lead at all times. For the amount of walking planned on this trip they should do well, but the dogfood for a week will be heavy

If you check out the second post in this thread (by moi
) - you'll find a link to a PDF-file with all sorts of info. On the last page of the file there is something about dogs:And as Tommy WF says, you have to think about the amount of dog food, pet travel passports and maybe even inocculations etc.
IIRC Andy has a dog aswell ...
Thanks for the link to the PDF Ahjno. Yep, they both have their passports and are jabbed up to the nines and as for the food they eat the dry stuff so that ain't so bad - I'm used to heaving their stuff around with me.
