My Arctic Dogsledding Trip was the Ultimate Adventure for Ordinary People
When you’re straddling the runners of a dog sled, feet just inches from the snow and ice racing beneath you, even 20mph feels faster than speeding down the motorway in a sports car. Yet somehow, it’s as exhilarating as it is meditative. It’s thrilling yet grounding. Chaotic yet calm.
I never thought I’d be the kind of person to get on a dog sled. Until now, it’s been the type of activity that feels decisively on the list of “extreme adventures,” and something you must surely need a licence, or experience, to do.
