Thanks Paul.

Some further googling from that page brought up "Kelk" as sledge. Loads of them advertised, some look really good.

Do you guys think a sledge is the way forward then?

I hadn't even thought of that tbh!!

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

I searched Osta Kelk.

Crazy carpet/ deer drag is another option. I'm just pricing some sheet up now to make one. 1mm plastic sheet, it'll roll up into a very small cylinder and weigh 600g. Its looking like a tenner for one.
I'd prefer a pulk so I can ride it, but taking something over is always easier and I haven't got to fart about drilling the fixings over there.

I've always got the bigger toboggan( not the black beast, a lighter thinner one). 3kg and rolls up easy, it'll take all our gear and go in the boot no problem.

i like this one best, all the gear in the back, me and you on the seat Pete and jacko in a harness

The land is pretty much flat so dont see too many issues with using a kiddie sled if needed. ive got AndyBBs Fjellpulken here so i could just pack in that and chuck it on the plane

 

[Teepee]

Sounds like a plan! Steves used to pulling trains -a little sledge'll be no problem

Just got a price back on the PE1000 sheet. £45 for a sheet to make 2, can't get the cheaper stuff-only the super slippy(Dyneema equivalent).

The price isn't thrilling me, kiddy sleds better value.

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

if im honest i do think it will thaw. if it doesnt ill be happy with a kiddie sledge as the terrain is flat and my bergen will give a low centre of gravity

if its clear its like a blizzard then this comes

 

[Teepee]

Pure sledge porn is that

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

yea shame its not mine but i do get use of it if needed

 

[jacko1066]

Yeah righto!! Pick on the youngster!!! Lol

I reckon a sled is the way to go chaps!! Although Pete you do have the extra bag and I'm happy to take my share of pulling the big bad boy pulk!!

That could work. It can be pushed with hiking sticks as well as pulled. 3kg isn't much penalty to not have to carry anything

It's ready to go whatever happens.

Three tump lines and we could be a dog team

Lmao!!! That's quality!!!

 

[jacko1066]

On another note, the car!!

I no you have spoke about this before and in tending to agree with you.

I can't see the Clio being big enough for is and the gear.

But I think we will prob only need a mondeo size car, it shouldn't cost much more either.

Also like I said earlier, hotel is double checked and all is good.
