Conditions very poor. The base of the snow has melted and the surface of many trails is prone to collapse. I chose a trail through the forest and going was very slow. I must only stick to the main trails when the sledge is heavy.
Lunch and siesta at Jänisvaara. Timo dropped off a new gas cylinder.
The afternoon running was better, but the dogs were getting tired. I went very close to Jussi’s place and travelled back mostly on snowmobile trails which were practically the only reliable routes.
In the evening I tried to read Alan’s unpublished book (Green & White). I think it could be described as a bit of a curate’s egg.
