The last of the 'ease-into-the-run' stages. Tomorrow awaits a 55km stage and from there on its the 50km pr day average we aim for. We are spending the evening in a seaside-cabin in Olderfjord and hoping for nice weather tomorrow.
Todays highlight was the sudden shift from barren, harsh arctic cliff landscape - to the low green forrests cowering the next arctic zone; the shift happened during just 1 hour of running, like a shift of scene at the theather ! It will be interesting what awaits down the road :-)
