My first ever x-country ski trip ! We set of at a leasirely 10.20 am, for a small taste of the national pasttime. Thinking i,d be back in time for late afternoon snooze befor edoing my Noggie homework and putting my feet up. ...
Here is me & The Cook still happy in our joyful naivety of our impending situation
Here is some well class dogs pulling a sledge
We stopped for luch in a DNT (Den Norske Tourist foreningen) cabin. Very well kitted out but the thermometer on the wall read -9 degc. we got the fire lit and had a good feed
Then it got dark.................temperature now -17 degc. route finding was following the line of twigs someone had helpfully stuck in the snow. andy got frozen fingers that never melted for a week.
