Greetings all from Lapland!

All is good, all my kit is still bone dry. It's a barmy -8 and snowing, the Rum isn't frozen anymore so I'm bored of jokkmokk and off up north to kiruna, maybe to Abisko and then back to kiruna to fly home.

Had to strip to underwear which had the locals in their down jackets looking a bit bemused.

I'm on the Spot beacon guys.
Hauled 100 kg 8km today on gritted roads as the ice on the lake is too thin to cross and now my toboggan is pulling badly to one side!
Tonight I'm staying in a hostel in Jokkmokk so I can catch the bus up north in the morning and look vaguely human again.

Lennart- I missed the lake hauling in the twilight and ended up well down that snowmobile path!

I'll post up in another week or so when I get some WiFi again.

Bring on the mountains!

Teepee, my old mate, good to hear you are OK!
Sorry you missed the exit for the lake campsite. We will go back there one day

Stay warm and eat your vegs my son !

You can follow Teepee location via spot beacon webpage located here:

Does he have a password/ member name? I'm getting zip, just the basic page Brilliant link though!

 

[udamiano]

No Sal you should just get a map page like



Its already set up to show petes location (I know it says my name on the list, but thats the name of the beacon)

 

[Shewie]

Anybody heard from Pete, I've had 3 Spot updates from him today so just wondering if he's okay?

I'll try and text him but he's useless with his phone at the best of times

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

wow he's way north now, boy is an animal lol. Maybe he thought signal was an issue and kept sending. they are all 'ok' messages though

 

[udamiano]

Pete has checked in everything is Good.
The tracker has three settings

Ok/good
I need assistance
And
SOS/ I'm in real trouble!

As long as they are the ok messages all is good

 

[Trunks]

they are all 'ok' messages though

Maybe it's Pete code for "amazing"! 3xok
