Open invitation arctic meet 2017

Its not just me thats got the wrong end of the broken limb from a nearby tree then.

I've made all my plans to get to Porjus... seems now thats nowhere near where I need to be, so a new plan, which I shall call Plan C is required.

Where we will spilt from Gallivare to the Stora is about 10 Km from Porjus, but what were your plans from Porjus ?

Seems to me that your plans and information are being swamped in this massive thread by General chatter.

Might it be a good idea to start another thread and limit it to solid information and firm plans?

That way you can chat on this thread and refer to the other much more easily.

Just a suggestion.

A good idea in theory but imho just another thread that would get bogged down so then 2 threads it can't be that hard ( you would think ) I'll put it in my signature

I think your signature is limited by a character count.

If you start a new thread you could keep the plans on the first post and edit them as required.

I wish I had read this first yep, signature is limited, as you say then, another thread maybe ?

I think a way of separating the information might be a good idea though... I know I'm being difficult with the whole driving thing, but the thing is I haven't flown on a plane since the tumour. I want to get confirmation that I can fly before I commit to a plane ticket, so I thought if I would arrange an alternative, no matter how long it takes... that might be a better option. Last thing I want is to end up dying before we get into the cold... that would be a really rather poor show.

Fairly embarrassing all things in... it sounds a bit wussy and cry-baby that I'm worrying over it... but if I'm absolutely honest it terrifies me. I know I'm a little loud, self-opinionated and I love a drink n a laugh... so whinging over it in a thread where we're discussing a manly adventure to the arctic doesn't seem appropriate.

So there we go. One way or another I will get myself to where I need to be on time... but I was confused over the detail. I had planned to stay within a couple of hours drive of Porjus and meet you guys there... park the car up, cover it over and leave it there till we get back. Not the greatest of plans, I admit... and the backup plan was something slightly crazier involving trains and buses across Sweden... but there we go. I'm not what you would call normal.

I need to get an extra 30 miles, so it's about another hour. Not like I have to climb everest or anything

While I'm on the honesty thing... most of you guys know about the whole legal thing... its taken a lot out of us, and with everything being up the air, its difficult to complete my work, let alone organise myself for the trip. But again, I don't want to whinge on about it... I'm gradually getting together the gear, and the gents at North Wood have been good enough to let me test my gear this weekend... and I'm busy persuading a mate to accompany me to Snowdonia. And yes, I don't answer my phone... yes I'm carp at answering messages. All part of my abnormalities.
