Ohh, tough luck Pete. Get well soon.

Life is throwing me a curveball at the moment but I'm doing my utmost to sort it out before I set out.

Sometimes you just have to pick yourself up and get on with it don't you.

 

[bopdude]

You do indeed

Guys, link to the pdf of the sat phone if you want to d/l it or read it

Blimey, that was a thrilling read...This bit caught my eye though;

Important:
Follow these guidelines when charging your battery:
•
Keep the battery at room temperature. Never expose batteries to
temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°F) when charging.

 

[bopdude]

Yeah but we'll only be charging on the tipi so it will be ok, won't it

good stuff lads. Thoroughly enjoyed this thread, and hope you all have a whale of a time. Impressed with all this planning - tends to put my "throw everything in the car, set sat-nav to Jokkmokk and wing it from there" approach to shame

 

[bopdude]

The best laid plans of mice and men, it's all good on paper, you should see what's going on in the whatsapp chat room we have, manic lol

Are you sorted re. Snowshoes?

I have a spare pair of army issue jobbies if you need them but not sure how I can get them to you in time.

 

[bopdude]

Yes all sorted thanks mate, Ash lives close to Pete so is going to call and collect them for me

Great. good to hear.

 

[bopdude]

Yep all done bar the repacking (again) and then weighing (again) Andy, I wish it were as simple as that, aim and go, might be a plan for future trips.
