Sweden’s valley of the kings

A trip that includes a close look at a monument laid down before the last Ice Age, a close encounter with a UFO and fresh cooked reindeer is sure to stick in your head for a while.
How it happened was this: “How does everyone like their reindeer cooked?” I ask the assembled hungry hikers.
I am in a hut on the banks of Lake Abiskojaure in far, far, far northern Sweden, having just hiked 15km carrying a 27kg pack (5kg of which was the aforementioned frozen reindeer meat).
