02.03.10: Olof and Petra have posted a blog entry about buying four horses in Argentina last week, before setting out on their 1500 km journey across South America and the Andes. Read it on the Swedish Outside Magazine website by clicking here.

25.02.10: After several trials and tribulations in Argentina, Olof and Petra have now bought four horses and began the trip towards the Pacific yesterday with a 30 km warm up. Already somewhat sore and having experienced their first close encounters with the ground, the expedition begins in earnest today.

21.02.10: On Thursday Olof and Petra left Stockholm for Argentina, where they will be spending the coming two months riding across South America. The route will take them approximately 1500 km from coast to coast across Patagonia and the Andes. Keep an eye out for updates here on the site as well as a full report in the Swedish Outside Magazine later this year. Rather than exposing his backside to two months of torture, Martin will head south this week and give a talk at Nova Television in Bulgaria (someone has to pay the bills).

29.01.10: Last week Olof gave a talk about (telemark)skiing on some of the world's highest mountains to a group of loose heel fanatics in Fjätervålen. Almost exactly one year ago, Martin (apparently unsuccessfully) spoke to the very same group about the many advantages of the alpine style over the Norwegian abomination... Right now we are however packing our skis and gear into the car for a well deserved two week holliday in the Italian alps. See you out there!

18.01.10: Martin's girlfriend Maria reached the summit of Aconcagua last Thursday. Mocking the rest of us, she did so both fully in charge of her faculties as well as without having to surrender to the lure of the magical diamox, nifedipine and paracetamol pills. To find out how we fared some six years ago, read the story here.
