Wow, just wow!
Thanks for letting us share in your winter skills and fellowship adventure! Very strong winter skills work displayed. Excellent demonstration of teamwork and the buddy system. Very nice Martin, with the little hound; I see that you are still "taking care of the troops"! Nice, with the local quartering party at the station and effecting the linkup with Andy. Norway is a beautiful place that I have been able to experience through your wonderful expeditions. Thanks to Cliff, Martin, Karl, Clive, Andy and Pete and to those that supported them along the way in making this expedition a resounding success!
Well done, all!

Great stuff guys, I can almost smell the snow and can't wait for our trip coming up.
How did the toboggans work out for you?
Was there much grit on the roads and if so how did they wear?

great stuff gentlemen.
looks like a good time was had by all.
how did the group parachute with space blankets work out?
I'm guessing the toboggans really helped with the amount of kit you required. did pulling them along affect travel speed at all kf was it a case of once moving their own momentum carried them along and you more provided direction than movement?
thanks for sharing with us all.
I want snow here now

Gordy. many thanks. I think this was the best trip ever and will be hard to beat. I seem to say this every time I return. Planning for the next one will have to be something special.
Again, I'll let those that used them answer the questions on pulks.
Parachute worked fantastic, the thin survival blankets didn't last long as they ripped easily. The thicker ones, kept the wind out and reflected heat and light back in.
Hoping for snow too

The pulks worked brilliantly their was a fair few gritted bit on the way and had to cross a tarmac road that was gritted and it took a good tug and some leg work to get them across but by the end their was only light scratching not much at all. The pulks glided along nicely with little effort apart from the hills witch was due to lack of foot grip and weight on the pulk it was heavy pulling up the hills, down hill we flicked them 180 Deg and walked them down in front of us. I had two lengths of para cord tied to a Crab and to each pull loop of the pulk witch allowed me to control direction with a pull of the cord.
