We're enjoying cabin life as the snow is falling and wind blowing outside.all's wet,since it's so mild,and i must have had at least 5kg of snow sticking to each ski.at least you don't need skins ;-) will try to cross the big mountains into sweden tomorrow,if the weather doesn't worsen...ha det!

News from a town...

A short update from one of the few Internet-places along the road... Røros! Probably the largest town on the way, and contrary to its reputation as the coldest place in Norway it's not too bad - a little too warm maybe, somewhere around 0 degrees. The main roads are more or less bare, the mountains are full of powdery snow which both me and Klang sink in right through to the bottom. Fun and games. Now we'll head a little further east and see if the conditions get a bit more wintery over there, looks like some cool mountains out there from the map at least... and then we can get a bike someplace and head northwards. Made a bet with Klang that if we're still skiing in mid-April I'll walk the last km to Nordkapp in boxer-shorts... and if we're not skiing Klang will have to do it naked :)

Here're some random pictures from the large collection, plus my mum's put out some more from the first stage at http://jsenger.rajce.idnes.cz/Jitka_Sondagsturen_www.sondagsturen.no/

Enjoy the spring y'all and have fun! Happy Easter as well ;)

Today we could've had lukas bauer with us,with all the prepared tracks we followed...though if might have been a little skeptical to the hairy descents on icy roads,with absolutely no control ;-) our max speed is 31kmh,but we'll try to beat that...not tomorrow though,having a restday here in roros.camping in a deep and scary forest just outside town,even arctic hero klang came into tent for some cuddle since he's so scared of trees :-) K&K

Spicing up the drytech

Spicing up the drytech is easy when you camp 100m from the supermarket ;-) river looks too icy for swimming and a little too open for skiing but we'll figure something out...and thanks to dad and the guys at guardian the tracer is back in action!

Tracer is back!

We can again follow Kim and his dog in the real time (well, almost the real time).

Cheers,
Martin
