Mini-Sven Goes Ski Touring

Posted 18th June 2011
Abisko, Sweden: Distance Travelled = 147,651 miles

Hello!
I've been on a wonderful trip! (I've been back a little while now though!) I've been back up to the Arctic Circle to catch the very last of this seasons snow. I've gone on a ski touring trip - a mirror image of the hiking trip I took last summer! We're skiing from Abisko to Nikkoluokta and it's going to be great fun. You can see me at the start of the trip here with our ski guide. It's going to be a long journey.
lots of love

Mini-Sven Skiing from Abiskojaure

Posted 19th June 2011
Abiskojaure, Sweden: Distance Travelled = 147,665 miles

Hello,
Day two for us was a really long day, 22 kilometers from Abiskojaure to Alesjaure. We had to climb a really steep hill, so it was definitely time for a coffee break! I think my poles might be a little too long for me. I'll keep going though! more soon.
lots of love

Mini-Sven on the Kings Trail

Posted 20th June 2011
Tjäkta, Sweden: Distance Travelled = 147,679 miles

Hello!
We're having wonderful weather up in the Artic Circle. I was getting quite tired with my little legs, so today I hitched a ride in the back of our guide's pulk. It was a wonderful view! Today we made it all the way down to Tjäkta. Another wonderful day in a winter wonderland.
lots of love

Mini-Sven at Singi

Posted 23rd June 2011
Singi, Sweden: Distance Travelled = 146,688 miles

Hello!
We've made it as far south on the Kings Trail as we're going to go now before we turn east and towards the highest mountain in Sweden. I remember staying at the Singi hut in the summer and had a lovely time with friends. We learned how to make an emergency bivouac, with a roof and everything! That was fun! More soon!
lots of love

Mini-Sven at Kebnekaise

Posted 27th June 2011
Kebnekaise, Sweden: Distance Travelled = 147,697 miles

Hello!
We're really getting through the trail now and we've reached the base of Kebnekaise. I seem to have been here quite a lot in the past few years! We reached here on Easter Sunday, so we had a special meal with Easter desserts and sweets. Very nice indeed! Coffee and sweets. mmm. Only the last stretch to go now!
lots of love

Mini-Sven at Lapp Dånalds (again!)

Posted 27th June 2011
Ladtjojaure, Sweden: Distance Travelled = 147,704 miles

Hello!
We've now finished our wonderful ski tour. Of course we tried to stop off at Lapp Dånalds, again. You can never turn down an opportunity to go for a Lapp Burger. But it's the middle of winter and it was shut. Oh well. I'll have to go back again next year! That's all for now, I need to get some shut eye and start preparing for my next trip! Where shall I go next time?
lots of love
Mini-Sven
