I can Imagine then, anything bought from Norway costs a fortune! No problem then, I think Ducky & Teepee have something, Im meeting them hopefully before the trip, It just would have been nice to have my own if I could have got them.

When you leaving ID?

Flying out from Heathrow at 12:40 on the 1st.

Hey, Imagedude, my kit packing room looks just like that! :rolleyes:

That's my bedroom, had to throw the bed out to make room for my kit.

Stay safe Bob, and have fun!
Is every one REALY taking extra foot wear?
C.

My Sorel Caribou are my spare boots, I'm also taking a pair of running shoes for apres ski and a pair of neoprene overboots.

Looks like a dry 2nd week for me then... Unless I use my Scouser skills!

Anyway my taxi to the airport has arrived, just enough time left for a couple more pickled eggs.
See you all further down the log.

Ok, managed to strap the snow shoes to the pack, but still need to tuck it in a bit to fit in the flight bag. Still have room (liters and kg's) in the pack, so it is all a matter of more trials.
This has everything packed minus the snow shovel (need to figure out where best to put it) and my anorak which I will probably take into the cabin. To go with it I have a bag with food and other bits as cabin luggage.

The extra pockets on the back work well, as they only contain relatively ligth stuff. One of them holds the Exped mat, which could perhaps go in the main bag and be replaced by something even lighter to get the center of gravity as close to my spine as possible. The pockets will be taken off for flying to reduce the profile. When I arrive in Bardufoss I will go into the final configuration, where the load of the cabin bag goes on the pack as well with only a small bag on my chest.
