Amundsen race start 22/2-2014

On Friday morning the 21/2 Håkan and his handler John Klang left in the direction of Strömsund. The car and the trailer was loaded with 11 dogs (just our own breeding): Arija, Birk, Bielka, Corona, Corall, Appa, Deimos, Delta, ergo, Etna and Geist. He would really have had 12 dogs but due to lameness, he was content with 11.
The trip up went well and as they arrived there was veterinary inspection and drivers meeting.
On Saturday it was about -4 degrees, the sun glinted from the sky, unfortunately about 10cm snow had fallen the last night, making the trail heavy.
Johannes, his friend Jani (who became bonus handler) and Håkan put the harnesses and booties on the dogs preparing for start at  around 11.
Håkan and his team will start as number 19. In lead, he has Corona and Etna.
