In the summer of 2002 we went on a hiking tour to
Southern Greenland.
From Aug. 7th. to Aug. 21th. 2002 we walked around on
the Narsaq and Igaliku
Peninsulas.
The Tour was planned to be day walks and the nights
spent in our tent. We had planned to bring a major part of the food with us
from home, with additions from the local groceries and some fishing luck!. The
local ferry lines would be used on a ad hoc basis to
avoid unpleasant terrain.
Since hiking
outside of inhabited areas in Greenland request a good physical condition, and
some navigational skills a good time was invested in the preparation of the
trip.
The preparation could be divided into four steps.
First the
basic physical condition which was prepared by daily bicycling tours and long
distance walking with the same boots as intended to be used on the hiking tour.
Getting information about the area. e.g. the geology,
weather conditions, ferry lines, groceries and contact persons.
Acquiring the right equipment suited for the
wilderness and light enough to carry through rough terrain.
Finding and preparing the food as light, nutritious
and long lasting enough to supply energy for the hiking.
