Mission Possible Sweden
What will you be doing in Sweden?
Are you bursting with impatience to be a participant (18 – 28 years) to make a hike full of original activities larded with a different themesauce, do you feel like being busy in a primitive way with an eyewink and do you want to explore Sweden? If you do, then Mission Possible Sweden is your ultimate holiday place from Friday evening 3rd till Sunday 12th August 2012. You will start and end in Groningen, Holland.
It is also possible to start and end in Göteborg, Sweden at the airport Göteborg – Landvetter or the railway station of Göteborg (Sunday morning 5th until Saturday 11th August 2012). Then, you can also combine your participation with a longer stay in Scandinavia.
On Sunday morning 5th August we will drive with the whole group in several passenger busses and cars from Göteborg to a beautiful non-touristic nature reserve which consists of many forests and lakes in the border region of Sweden and South Norway. This is another area then Mission Possible Sweden was held before!
From Monday 6 August on you will hike with your personal belongings in a rucksack through a beautiful non-touristic nature reserve that consists of many forests and lakes in the border region of Sweden and Norway: roughly between Töcksfors and Österfallskog. The program is ment for Roverscouts, leaders and executives of Scouting and Guiding from 18 to 28 years who would like to be active, but they don’t need a splendid physical condition. You will walk, bike or sail distances up to a maximum of eight hours of moving a day.
In the morning you will depart early, in order that you can arrive by daylight at the next bivouac so that you can prepare your dinner. As a participant you don’t have to hurry all the time but, you will notice that you won’t be able to have very long breaks during your passage. During your daily changing of places we will offer you a variety of outdoor activities which suits the Swedish surroundigs. Think of mountainbiking, 2 days canoetrip, fishing, rockclimbing and lorrybiking.
For the hike in Sweden you master several Scouting technical skills. We expect you to know how to deal with map- and compass methods. Your knowledge of routetechniques will be tested and will be explained if necessary.
We also offer you sometimes a few map- and compass puzzles, but they are not always too complicated. They are up to date and funny, probably mingled with a certain theme.
Our cook has a surprising menu full of culinary art with a Swedish touch, that you will prepare daily with the others on logfires.
You stay overnight at bivouacs which are mostly situated at a nice lake or on an island in such a lake.
There you will sleep in bivouac huts, underneath a tarp, sheltersail or in a homemade shelter.
In the morning you will wake up due to the rising sun above a misty Swedish lake; a cup of fine smelling coffee or tea is a promise for something good again!
