RAVEN'S ACTIVE DOG WALKING DAY - MOUNTAINS OF SIGHT AROUND
Øytjernsætervegen 212, 2880 Nord-Torpa
English, Norwegian
This is for the tough folks who want to have a taste and experience the feeling of what it's like to be a competitive dog runner, a hard-barka dog runner.
This tour can be done by a maximum of two adults. You can handle your own sleigh all the time if you wish.
We stick together all the time. We'll take breaks along the way. The dogs get snacks and we get homemade food, biscuits and hot drinks. When we get back to the kennel we take care of the dogs and make sure they are well before we take the evening. Hot drinks and homemade biscuits that were not eaten on the trip will be served if you want a short break before getting into the car. This is a long and demanding day behind the sled with a lot of slopes, weather conditions have a lot to say on how long this will take. This can take up to 8-10 hours. There will be a trip around the entire mountain of Synnfjellet. With Synnfjellporten as a possible accommodation, the combination of these is excellent.
We have hammocks, lavvo and reindeer skins to lend if you want to spend the night at the kennel.
If you have a long journey, we can recommend renting a cabin in the mountains, as attendance can be as early as 09.30. We can either arrange a cabin rental for you where there will be an addition in the price, or we can give you tips so that you can arrange a cabin rental yourself.
Practical information
TIPS FOR DRESSING!
As we say here in Norway: “There is no bad weather, only bad clothes.”
Here are some tips and recommendations on winter clothes to keep you warm on your trips:
1. Inner layer: should be something that breathes, I recommend wool. Do not use cotton!
2. Thicker layers: I recommend wool, but you can also use fleece.
3. Last layer: windproof jacket and trousers, sometimes waterproof too, in a gentle state, but remember that it must be breathable material. Recommend a good cap where it goes in front of the face. This gives you the best protection for your face
4. A thicker jacket is fine to bring along as you can adjust by taking the jacket on and off. Here I wear a down jacket but a quilted winter jacket or parkas is and fine. This is especially wise for the long hikes, peak walks, snow mountain, overnight trips. A good hood that goes in front of the face is and something to think about as hoods (especially with fur trim) stop wind cooling the face. (I have a pair of parkas I can borrow!)
5. Woolen socks, maybe even two, if the shoes allow. If it is too tight, it will have the opposite effect. Important with the possibility of movement of the legs otherwise they will be cold.
6. Good winter boots that are tight and not too tight!
7. Good warm and windproof hat and mittens. Do not wear gloves! I recommend wearing thin wool gloves to use inside the mittens or keep it in your pockets, for use when handling the dogs.
8. Wool neck/neck to cover the anskite for weather and wind.
9. Snow goggles, not a must, but I recommend if it is very windy and snowy at the same time.
