Looking forward to reading you report before our trip.

Well, I've started packing! Still need to finish (ie start) sled mods, but at least I've managed to find the correct stoves! Luckily I still have plenty of time before the flight, so I'm taking tomorrow off to drop Mother-in-law back to Manchester.
Must also start thinking about food..............

Oh, I dunno Rik! I'm over 60, overweight, smoke too much, knees and elbows knackered from way too much full-contact sport in my youth, one metal hip, the other one way overdue for the same treatment, and just to make life perfect, still feeling the torn calf muscle. Lucky I'm only having to carry/drag 100+lbs of stuff a few miles

Cheers Richard,
This has the makings of the best trip yet.
Photos at a push, my camera plays up in mild conditions, and no chance of a video either
I can't wait for the trip reports. I have started casually looking at flights to Finland again. Just incase.

I'm with Andy here, Richard. There's no reason why you can't go camping in the snow.You've just to adapt your travelling to suit your limitatations. You don't have the monopoly on knackered-old-fartyness; there's others here who are well past our best, but still make some effort to get out and about. If you can make it to a parayurt in Sennybridge, you can make it to a lavvu somewhere in Norway. You can do it if you want to.
Edit: Pardon me for going off-topic. All the very best to you all on your trip.

Karl it is why we brought you young whipper-snapper along
I think I have my phone sorted now so there may be some video and pictures going on if i sort my computer out (anyone recommend a good editor program?)
Not long to go now, fingers crossed the weather dips and you have snow. Stay safe and have fun lads, it'll be a week to remember I'm sure.
