Newbie from Northumberland

[JC1984]

Hi all,

Just a quick hello! Stumbled across the forum today while searching for something (more on this in a second). Looks like an excellent group of people on here from what I can tell - looking forward to getting involved anyway.

As for the little something - I'm planning on a trip to Tromso in 4 weeks for a little 3 or 4 night expedition into the wilderness to view the Northern Lights. I always use my DD hammock when out and about so was wondering if anyone had any experience of using a hammock in the Arctic Circle? If not, could you let me know where would be a good place to post this, as have had a little search but not come up with much

Thanks
Jonny

Welcome - presumably you haven't seen the Arctic trip that is about to close and which has had difficulty getting the minimum numbers eg see

Can't help you as regards hammocking in the arctic but maybe some of the people going on the course will have researched it/have views

Hope you get a lot out of the site - most people do

Hello Jonny and welcome to BCUK.

Hi Stuart,
I've not fished for an age - should get back into it, as there's nothing like freshly caught fish for your tea.

Again, thanks for the warm welcome everyone :You_Rock_
