have been blessed with some fantastic displays of the northern lights…. I
wonder if I will ever get bored of this natural phenomenon that draws people in
there thousands from all over the world. I don’t think I will. It changes so
quickly – from a faint almost non existent glow to a dramatic display that
stretches all across the sky. I spent an hour head tilted backwards with a
guest whom I met at 3am in the morning whilst on my “restocking the fire” shift.
It was a magical experience.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Setting out on a new training
track we where optimistic that our track issues where behind us. But after two
runs we where back to square one. During the wet autumn the track has been used
by quad bikes tearing up the once relative flat base, now frozen in hard
chocolate ridges. So it was no longer a slippery ice issue it was a track that
was badly corrugated to the extent that we could not get a consistent running
speed in order to train </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The third option was to
return to the Autumn training camp – where we knew that the track would be in
better condition. Thankfully, we where right. The down side to this is despite
the autumn training camp being just over the mountain – it was an hours drive.
An hour there, 1.5 hours to train and then an hour return journey is making the
extra long and tiring. On top of that is the loading and unloading of the dogs
needs to be taken into account.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The last few days have been very
trying. The minimal snow fall at first was a promising sign of good things to
come. But alas the tracks are now playing field for cart drifting and
fishtailing. With the temperature increasing the lying snow has melted somewhat
to refreeze in the early hours of the morning– creating a thin layer of pure
ice. There is very little traction and although the drifting is good practice
and honestly a little bit fun. It’s only a matter of time before a dog is
injured. With a cute title of <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Bambi
Legs”. Dogs <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>legs are slipping on the ice
patches, swinging wildly to the side. It was blatantly obvious that we could no

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I have registered for my
first competition. 60km therefore 4 – 5 hours of sledding – weather depending of
course. It’s a big event which goes over Australia Day Weekend. Perhaps it’s a
bit early in my learning curve – but I at least have something to aim for. Just
for the recorded – I am not interested in breaking any records. For me – it’s
about working with the dogs and enjoying the experience. First and foremost the
dogs health and well being is paramount. If I can finish with fit and healthy
dogs – then we are all winners. Only 102 more sleeps.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">It has been quite cold during
the last few nights which has frozen the ground. On one hand this is good but
on the other this is bad, Good because the frozen ground provides a seal. So
when the snow comes – it gathers on the top and therefore starts the first
layer instead of seeping into the ground, making it wet and mushy. The bad
side. The dogs paws, tendons and muscles can be injured when the ground is so
hard.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Training has been continuing
for the past few days as normal. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">At this time of the season we
go out with 3 teams. A team of 12 which runs in front of a quad bike and the
rest of the teams, are trained with the carts. On the carts one can have a
maximum of 8 dogs. Any more and it is impossible to stop them (well at least in
my case anyway)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The new track is dirt road
with a top layer of stones. The rest of the path goes though a quaint wooded
area, where I am sure I could spot Hansel and Gretel’s ginger bread trail.
There is a small creek crossing with is a great place to stop for the dogs to
get a drink. The turning point mid way into the training is an open field. This
sometimes can be difficult because the following teams (they are the teams
which follow the quad bike team) like to cut corners and start turning when
they see the leading team turn. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">An extra person ie someone
not driving – becomes a must have. They are free to help out when turning or
when other issues arise.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Just like people – the dogs
have different levels of fitness. So it is important to group the dogs together
that are about the same. There are many reasons for this variation. Older dogs,
dogs returning from injury, also bigger dogs generally have to work harder as
they carry more weight. There are other factors when putting a team together –
but I will save this for another time.</span></div>

Where has the week gone? So much has happened and I have had
no time for myself.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have left the Autumn Training camp and moved up to the
winter camp. All 52 dogs are settling into their new home for the next six and
a half months. It has been a very busy week. Preparing the new dog boxes and
cages for the new arrivals. Moving all my belongings into our new cabin – which
we have rightly called the “Hillton”. But more on the new cabin later. We have
welcomed our first guests, which ended in an invite to Cape Town…. If this holds up I should be a right
jet setter in the summer……Training with the carts continues – so new routes and
river crossings to master !! </div>

Tuesday 30th September </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The woods are full of hunters. Strangely dressed people
walking out of the woods with guns. Moose/Elk hunting season started 25<sup>th</sup>
of September and continues for a month or until the quota is achieved. Each
region is dissected and a moose/elk count is completed by various government
agencies. From which a quota or kill count is determined. Tepee tents with
groups of hunters pop up in idyllic landscapes. But a moose/elk hunter is not a
hunter without Elghund (Elk Hound) An ancient Northern Spitz-type breed which
in the National dog of Norway.
A stocky, strong willed herder and guardian.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The fashions’ of the hunter is an oddball mix of camouflage
and fluro fabric with serves as both a disappearing and reappearing act.
Camouflage to hide from the prey and fluro to avoid being shot by your fellow
hunters.</div>

some point. Mind you last season I did not get sick until February which is 6
months into the season. This year it has struck early, 4 weeks in to be exact.
It’s a combination of lack of hygiene, the weather, poor diet and seer
exhaustion. I can explain all three.</span></div>

delicate jobs as separating dog meat and applying medicines and lotions. Hand
sanitizer in the toilet and hand soap in the cabin. That is clear. But it’s the
time between switching gloves and the gloves off gloves on that is the issue. I
have to learn early – that it is important to not touch your face, not swip your

new people. Learning to switch off when hearing ongoing Norwegian : ) Meeting
and getting to know all the dogs. Learning new routines, new ways to work with
the dogs. Learning to drive the dogs on a daily basis compared to once every 10
days (as per last season) Driving cars on the other side of the road. The
colder weather – as I have come from a tropical north Queensland winter – which average I think
about 24 degrees. In fact the over exposure to all these new things although

SHOWER DAY !! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just to set the record straight.. shower day
does vary. But I don’t get a shower every day. Sometimes it’s one every two
day. One every three days. This time around it will be 5 days without a shower.
The training cabin has a shower of sorts however one needs to light a fire in
order to warm the water that comes from the stream. And to be honest – although
it sounds appealing, I don’t have the inclination or time to fiddle about with
such fuss. So I go dirty. The autumn training cabin is somewhat remote, it’s
20km to the nearest crossroad and therefore the nearest petrol station / shop.
About 1 hours drive to the bosses house, which has the best hot shower north of
the Arctic Circle (well I think so at the
moment). As the crow flies – it’s not that far. But the fjords need crossing
and the only way is to go around. Not that I am complaining, it is spectacular.

The training route has had to be altered due to the slippery
conditions. So the 10km route is half snowmobile track half road. The dogs ran
well – but my hand brake snapped on the 100kg training cart. The remaining
front brake is not the most pleasant to use. It’s lock and skids. And a locked
and skidding front tyre, gives you little control. Added to this the “alternative”
rope knot that I use to hold the cart while I load the dogs on the line; well
what can I say…. Did not come loose, so out came the knife to cut me free and
get me on my way. Arrraghhhh hump !!</div>

I am very aware that with a few more days of minus degrees
that the pipes that provide our water from the stream that runs from a mini but
glorious waterfall out the back, will freeze. No longer with the outhouse
flushing toilet work. The one tap that provides our water for cooking, cleaning
and dog food preparation will also be made redundant. When the time comes it
will mean a change that will affect me for the next 6 months. It will be the
long drop toilet and daily task of collecting water from steams and frozen
lakes will become the norm. </div>
