Jag sprang leden från Nydala till Byarum. Tog det västra alternativet runt Skillingaryd. Mycket trevlig led och bra skyltat hela vägen. Fanns ett parti mellan Tofteryd och Skillingaryd som i princip gick i terrängen men markeringarna fanns där om man var lite uppmärksam. Underlaget var allt från fina små stigar till asfalt. Trevlig tur och jag hade dessutom tur med vädret!
