Exciting tour with children mushers
Four children, between 10 and 14 years old, and five adults started, highly motivated, to a five day wilderness trip around lake Altevatn. Nine dog teams, 48 huskies in total, were all excited during the start. The children rode smaller sledges than the adults and had 3 – 4 huskies in a team. Each one of the participants had been on a huskyfarm holiday before and knew how to dog sled, but a real, several days lasting wilderness trip was new to everybody. The excitment was huge!
The nature did not appear in the best light: warm temperatures and wet snow, difficult snow conditions, a lot of wind and bad sight made wilderness wilder than we had thought.
It was outstanding how the difficulties of the tour were handled with a lot of laughter and always keeping a good mood. Everybody enjoyed the daily work with the dogs and agreed: we were on tour with the best huskies in the world.
Thanks to a wonderful crowd of people and thanks to each and every member of the group for a
wonderful time.
