Winding roads and Old Irish

I blipped this walk three years ago on 28 July but today I managed to get a decent panorama shot showing the lakes on each side of this ridge.
This 20 meter high ridge, about 2 km long, cuts a corner off what is essentially one lake. Since we were last here the path has been smoothed out a little and given a gravel surface from the car park to the highest point, about a kilometer. This helps prevent footpath erosion, and makes it possible for a slightly adventurous wheelchair user to use the path. 
The pines on each side are fairly old by Swedish standards, over 150 years, and the forestry company that owns the land has set aside this area for its natural value, which wins them a few brownie points. (They need them!)
After the walk we continued to Sollefteå where I tried to do a bit of computer support via the phone. Not easy and it didn't work! I sat in the sun while Jan explored the Red Cross shop.
Then on to Kramfors where we listened to music from the Nora Trio, except one of them was away so I guess they were the Nora duo. As always both the chapel (extra) and the music was beautiful. The chapel was built during the saw-mill and timber floating boom. The cross is made from drift wood and great use is made of timber planks!
After the music I fixed the computer problem from earlier in the day. It was much easier with the computer in front of me.
I'll finish with another bit of geology, a little Swedish, and even a bit of Old Irish...

As I walked through the pines this morning I thought about the fact that this ridge is formed of sand and gravel, laid down on the bed of a river under a glacier, which then melted leaving this winding ridge above the surrounding country.
In Swedish it is called an ås, which is pronounced a bit like a cockney would say horse, missing out the h. In English it's an esker, a word that comes from "the Irish word eiscir (Old Irish: escir)", according to Wikipedia, which also informed me that there's an esker running from Dublin to Galway, the Eiscir Riada. So this 2 km esker is fairly small by world standards!
