Roll on part 3, the unspoilt magic of the mountains

Unspoilt until we arrived and knackered it.

Top stuff mate, as a 'live news' person I was getting a wee bit impatient waiting for part 2 but fair play, it was worth the wait.

Well I have a life to live in between sorting pictures and editing my journal.

I hope to get part three up by the weekend if things work out.

This has been such a gread thread and read I have read both parts at least 3 times each and even though I have never wanted to go somewhere as cold as this I now have the urge!

 

[Wayland]

Well you couldn't go far wrong with a course run by Woody and his crew.

Lets hope he runs another one through here next year. Fantastic value.

Should'nt the course cover frost bite, hypothermia and cold weather
injurys?

Just asking. Didn't the scedule say so?

 

[John Fenna]

Great stuff!

I'm thoroughly enjoying this thread Gary... great pictures and the write up is excellent as well.

In a way I'm glad you're spreading the sections out as it gives me a chance to re-read the ones posted already and just appreciate them all the more

injurys?

Yes, it covered that too. We learnt about excessive bleeding in the cold, first signs of frostnip, frostbite and the symptoms of Hypothermia in one of the briefings. I cant rememember which one though-I think we were all pretty clued about that before the trip anyway.

 

[Ivanhoe]

Good! I strongly suspected it did.

I like the group snow shelter built with the wooden roof.
Its just like a den I built in a ditch as a kid. So quick and simple.

 

[Wayland]

Part Three added.

 

[Teepee]

A fantastic write up there Gary. Top stuff. :You_Rock_

Its great to have such a good photographic record of the trip.

Brilliant

If this doesn't urge more to sign up for future courses, nothing will.

 

[Zingmo]

Awesome stuff. I have been waiting for this since you first started posting pics of your arctic gear. That photo of the camp under the aurora on the last night is simply stunning. Thanks for taking the trouble to write this up.
