can't wait to meet you all.I am in oslo early tomorrow staying in the centre, is any one else?

Yep Vinny.

I'll be in a hostel in the centre and free for most of the day.

If you fancy meeting up, PM me with any details - or look out for a person with two green bags wearing a green and blue jacket, sticking out like a sore thumb!

Cheers,

Ag

it indeed was bloody cold!

We arrived in the midst of a relatively warm (0 deg) but rather dramatic snow blizzard which caused approx 2-3foot on snow on out base camp. The weather gradually cleared up and got colder and for the last 4 days I don't believe it ever got warmer that -15. Coldest was -28 I think on friday night.

Basically...everything you can think of froze. Water started to freeze within literally 30 seconds and plastic items just snapped off. It was fun though :p

Can someone possibly post the coords for google maps? Had a look briefly and can't seem to find it. Thanks

Dave

Hi one and all. Thanks for making the week such a great experience. Looking back I enjoyed it big time though willing myself to get out of a sleeping bag at -20 was not easy. I hope to bump into you in the future.

Regards

Scott
