Longer distances

Yesterday we had our first long training trip. We combined the training with freight transport of firewood to Dærtahytta. Aslak first did one trip out and return from Dividalen to Dærtahytta, then the dogs got a 4 hour rest before I took the same trip once more. The conditions where perfect, full moon, hard trails -10 c and no wind. The dogs were doing fine and did not seem to tired. The last leg was covered in the same speed as the first. I was specially happy to see that all the seven youngsters in the team managed the long distance, Kari even did the last two legs in lead.
