First the Kafalla pictures. Both the roads and forest tracks here are good for barefoot running. The aerial view summarizes the routes I took. Of particular interest is the red route which is a circuit beginning and ending at a primary school. It runs through a sparse forest and is a well made track with street-lighting all the way, and a teepee to boot. I just cannot imagine any entity in Ireland spending that sort of money just to give kids a safe but beautiful route to walk around. I enjoyed running it both days.
As always, click on an image to zoom in.

The next pictures are from my runs in Enhagen-Ekbacken, Västerås which is a port on an extensive inland lake or waterway that links with Stockholm. Our hosts own a boat and sometimes make that trip.

| A golf course adjacent to the road had no fence so I gladly enjoyed it |
 |
| I wonder why people bother with golf when they could run barefoot here? |
 |
| Most of the roads around here have well-kept generous cycle tracks |
