Sweeden/Lapland course?

[Agile]

Hi all,

I'm currently hunting around for a cold-weather course and was thinking that somewhere like Sweeden would be the ideal candidate.

As well as standard snow-cave building I want to try and spread the holiday to include husky dogs and some kind of cross country skiing/machine based snow travel.

I've located this course and it sounds okay, however I'm looking for something where perhaps a general level of fitness/ intermediate skill level is required.

Any recommendations? So far this one is looking good (apart from I will probably miss out on the northern lights), has anyone been on this course?

Thanks,

Ag

I have just come back from Sweden helping Fenlander to do up his cabin....He is going to be running courses from there...It is near Gallivare...He is going to be joining up with Lotti http://www.kirunadogcamp.com/ to offer dog sledding as well. He is very experienced in bushcraft and runs Natural lore http://www.naturallore.co.uk/ Drop him a pm.....

Don't I just know it! Was planning on coming back over next summer with the missus (shes a teacher so can only go on hols in the school holidays) and was thinking about going back to Dalsland. But after seeing some of the other stuff available I think I need to do a bit more research. See if I can convince her to do a winter trip instead

Thanks for all the links everyone, I've sent TMKTC a PM about the course and am investigating the other link provided...

Cheers guys!

You could try Bushcraft Expeditions, I haven't done this course, but I have done others with Woody and he is a top bloke.

The autumn is not too bad either, I thought it was the most beatiful place when I saw it last summer, but now I have to get back druting the autumn.
