Please leave Bully in the cache, I will go to get it by myself!

Bully is facing a great mission. Please bring him to wonderful scandinavia, where he wants to travel far up north to one of the most challenging caches in the world "Vertical Limit" (N 67° 09.439 E 017° 37.522) situated on top of the mountain Bårddetjåhkkå in Sareks National Park, Sweden.
Everybody who picks up Bully should place him in a cache situated further north than the preceding until he reaches his final destination.

Good luck Bully!

Sarek is a 1970 square kilometers large national park north of the arctic circle in Sweden. It is said to be Europes last wilderness, though it for centuries has been used as summer pastureland for reindeers. But it is anyway a magnificient untouched alpine area. The area contains several mountains, with peaks around 2000 meters, glaciers, and valleys. The valleys Rapadalen and Tarradalen look almost like a jungle, while the other valleys are above the tree-line. There are no prepared trails, cabins, or places to buy supplies. There are no guides that operate in the park. Visitors must bring everything themselves; tent, food, and cooking equipment, everything what is needed to live. Since it is a national park is it not allowed to fish, or hunt (with a possible exception for mosquitos, which I think it is allowed to kill), it is allowed to make up a fire, using dead wood. But I recommend you not to do it, unless absolutely needed. It leaves ugly black spots, which takes several years for nature to repair. Do not litter, please bring back what you brought with you. Please consult the rules that apply to the park. With the number of visitors (about 2000 visitors per year since 1980) are the most popular places getting weared. At some places have planks been laid out on the ground to protect the ground, e.g. in Rapadalen and the track to Pårek. Mosquitoes can be disturbing in the forest regions, but rarely above the tree line, where it is too windy for them. At Smaila, in the middle of Sarek, is an emergancy phone at the Mikkacabin (the cabin is locked, it is used by the reindeer farmers). The phone is to be used in real emergancy, do not expect to get help unless you are in real danger. There is no coverage for mobile phones. Fording the streams can be dangerous, it happens that people drown. This is anyway very rare, a few per ten years.
