Day 4 we covered 22 km, conquered the Tjäktja pass, saw more rainbows than we cared to enjoy, sang Irish tunes with David and used our bug hats for the first time. Sadly no sign of Magnus.
Day 3 we covered over 18 km, caught up with David and met Jack from the UK, Paul found a reindeer antler, we saw Magnus again and camped with our new friends.
Day 2 of the Fjällräven Classic, we covered 15 km, saw a wild reindeer, met Magnus on the trail, met David from Germany and had the best weather.
Day 1 took us from Nikkaluokta to Kebnekaise. Covering almost 20km, we tried reindeer burgers, put our rain gear to the test and set up camp for the first time.

Every Sunday I try to head out into the world and go on an adventure. Depending on the weather I sometimes don't always get to but today was probably the best day I've seen in a while. My dog Fionn and I couldn't resist the sunshine pouring in through the windows so...
