Reflections Fjällräven Classic
Written by Andreas Cederlund, 20th August 2010 in "Fjällräven Classic"
So now yet another Fjällräven Classic has passed. The last trekkers are probably now at home enjoying the experience, the checkpoint are removed and the 120 amazing staff have gone home.
I have taken one week holiday to get some rest after a rather hectic period. To rest and to enjoy the experience. Because even though I have not had the time to walk the distance, I have received so much happiness it will last till next year.
To listen to participants who have enjoyed the mirrored lake Laddujarvi, tho here stories about people who together with new friends have enjoyed the view from the Tjäktja ridge or peoples reactions to the thundering applauds in Abisko. Allt his makes me forget about logistic challenges and hick-ups in computer systems.

At the starting point in Nikkaluokta, it is great to meet all the excited participants.
With me is memories and a great gratitude to all participants and staff who have made Fjällräven Classic to the folk festival it is. Without your input it would simply not be the same. To see young and old, people who like to speed through nature and those who like to stroll, experienced mountain foxes and curious beginners together head out to one of the most beautiful places in the world AND at the same time act responsible is fantastic.
And to see all the staff and our partners do their best to enhance the experience is amazing. Regardless of weather and time of day give their full support to all nature lovers is splendid.
When I ask them where they get their energy from the answer is often the same, they themselves love life in the outdoors and are happy to see more people develop an interest.
I think this is wonderful and just the reason why we continue to arrange Fjällräven Classic.
Once again, thanks for your participation and commitment.
