Heh guys
Hope Chris and David are going to post their Northern lights photos, fantastic stuff.
Merino base layers where a definite winner for me, and I wish I had bought one of those Swedish arctic smocks.
I agree with C da C when it gets really cold, the Herta gloves just weren't up to it for me, I'm glad I had merino mittens with me.
A flask is a must, the one the London guys had, Garry, Barry and Chris was the dogs, the water was still really hot after a night in the tent, it was a thermos but I can't remember which one, hopefully one of them will be along and say.
Yeah take snacks, sweets, chocolate, etc
Another thing take cream with you and use it, the back of my hands are a mess atm, I've been almost soaking them in e45 since I got back. Also take lip salve and vaseline for your lips, nose and ears.
