Arrived back late yesterday and I'm still downloading the images. Whilst I do so though, I'd like to say a massive "Thank you" to Woody and his team.
They all did an excellent job in combining tuition, fun and safety, along with a moderate amount of "freezing my a$$ off pain".
Cheers guys - I cannot recommend you highly enough!!

Hey C da C,

Just a quick thanks for all the laughs last week mate, you are one funny dude, nearly perfect in fact, well apart from the snoring, the constant sore necks, the frozen sleeping bag episodes and not being as good looking as the COL MEISTER..
But anyway glad to have met you dudes last week and glad i went on the exped.

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.

for me the following list is the most important items for an arctic trip
1. A five star hotel to stay in for the whole trip.
2. your 12 man servants.
3. A fully functioning personal sun.
4. A 50 grand a night high class escort, to serve you hot chocolate and various other unnamed things.
5. Your own polar bear to live in while walking around that nasty cold place.
6. Chris da cats whisky supply (cheers mate, itll wake ya up in the morning boy)
7. Peds (Pete) to come with you every time, just so you know that someone is suffering more than you).
8. Geary (Chris), on trip with you, so that you know that someone has ate more pies in life than you (only kidding, my wee skinny 3 year old friend).
9. Leo ( Tom aka James Bond) with all his gadgets, you cant freeze with all that techno stuff ah mate.
10. Lots of ice cream, just for the sheer hell of it, cause im a rebel....
11. your own personal movie star, LITTLE JOHNNY DEPP AKA BUSHED.
12. The big man (Peterlee Paddler) just cause im prettier than him and his professor brother.
Bet youd enjoy the trip with all of the above......

yeh man sleeping bag is good to go, gave me something to do whilst killing time in my oslo brothel - oops i mean hotel. I put my best bushcrafting/motherly thread and needle work to use and patched it all together again. In fact its so well done i reckon i could sell it for a fiver to a blind man....
