Day one of my Arctic Adventure holiday - my 60th birthday present from Alison. Our guide, Steve, took us to one of the nearby national parks for a snowshoe trek through the forest, and along a river gorge. Lunchtime stop for sausages grilled over a wood fire. Apparently a Finnish tradition. Most animals are still lying low at this time of year, but plenty of tracks in the snow to indicate that they are around. Snowshoeing seems to be a good way of getting around in the wild, but exercises hip muscles that I never knew existed.
