Every year in the second week of February I pack my sleigh and set out for a weeklong journey over the mountains from Sweden to reach the openingday of Røros winter fair in Norway. In my company I usually have 10-15 horses and 30-40 men and women who travel together. It is amazing, truly magical in so many aspects. My only regret has been how few people that are able to share the experience with me. This blogg is an attempt to give you all a glipse of magic and perhaps one day some of you will feel the urge to set out on a journey of your own...

Saturday 12/2-2011

This year we have an extra day on the Journey, we started a day earlier and will be staying here in Ljusnedal for two nights. Everybody seems to appreciate the extra time to catch up on their sleep and make some adjustments on the equipment while the horses are taken out for some light exercise. We have been invited to dinner and festivities by the museum in Funäsdalen. I’m spending most of the day catching up on my blogg-obligations… It’s impossible to keap up this year since we are celebrating our 30th anniversary everybody wants to invite us to one thing and the other. I’m enjoying it all and I'm certainly not complaining in any way but there’s simply no time to write

About Me

Home is often, too often perhaps, defined by where my backpack last was unpacked and part of the year home is in a sleigh somewhere in the mountains between Norway and Sweden...
