Friend of Fjällräven Anna Blackwell shares her experience of becoming part of the Fjällräven Classic community through taking on the first iteration of the Fjällräven Classic UK, a 65km trek through the heart of Scotland’s Cairngorm mountains.
Tilting my head to peer out from beneath my hood, I took in the view of the route ahead. Or lack of it. Low cloud prevented me from seeing much beyond my dog, Bilbo, as he clambered over the wet rocks, his lead pulled taut. Hearing a shout of glee from ahead, I squinted into the bracing wind, and my grimace disguised the excitement that simmered within me.
Then I caught sight of the bright blue fabric of a checkpoint tent and my heart leapt. A small crowd of soggy hikers congregated around it, vivid orange safety tags adorning their rucksacks and marking them out as fellow participants of the Fjällräven Classic UK. Moments later, I was part of the gaggle. Welcoming smiles made me momentarily forget the wet weather.
