Carcassonne

Among Eddie’s presents when turning eight, Carcassonne has turned into an instant favourite for all of the family. Brewing an extra carafe of Starbucks house blend filter coffee after another ungodly early morning (William still wakes up long before 5 am), I can feel the draw of the trails and my excitement about tomorrow’s birthday ultra. Looking through different possible routes on Strava, I am of course tempted to go all in and attempt climbing up the southern peak of Kebnekaise even if the 1,400+ meters of climb is “hors catégorie”. More realistically, I am thinking of limiting myself to following the valley and maybe head up to the Tarfala glacier lake.
