Good looking bit of kit.

They worked well enough for Freya Tim

Oh please do. Some decent snow would be great.

Looks like the Sub Zero Crew are coming to the Moot. You should have six bookings inbound.

Our trip to Finland has just been trashed by Finnair cutting their timetable by 20% so there may be a bunch of us joining you to distract ourselves from our disappointment. We're discussing it tonight.

Doesn't come across as aggressive at all and it is something that I do give thought to. My intention is to bring it back but I pack so close to the flight weight allowance that is not always possible. Airport waste bins are full of things that get dumped for the same reason. Losing an...

We are keeping notes and artwork as we go to do something along those lines.

Time for another update. Debs thinks this may actually be completed this year.

The jet stream seems to be flowing at a slightly lower latitude than it used to. I don't know why but I have my suspicions it is something to do with global warming as it has been similar for a few years recently. That puts us nearer the edge of the Polar Vortex in an unstable belt alternating...

Thank you sir.

Thank you Colin.

I have long been a fan of the thin, cheap and cheerful fleece gloves from Decathlon. I take a small bag of them on trips so that I can swap them when they wet out although they never seem to get cold when they do. I’ve also had some of these Swedish Army wrist warmers for a while but I was...

It would go a long way to paying for the whole trip to Kittilä

There are similarities but this is quite different. The pictures are difficult to interpret because of the camouflage unfortunately. Already more headroom as it is but there will be a lot more when I cut a footwell in the snow.

I was looking to add something to a post I was sure I had started somewhere only to discover that I don't seem to have posted about this here. This came about from an idea I had on the first winter trip I made to the Arctic. For some time now I have been using a square cotton tarp, set up...

I have a copy but it's firmly chained to my library I'm afraid.

Did you use a speciality ink in it? ie. waterproof or etching? If so you may need the manufacturers own solvent. Otherwise there are good suggestions already made here. I sometimes find that forcing water / solvent through with a cartridge converter can help too.

Perhaps because most wise things have been said so many times before.
