Squeaky snow
Squeaky snow. Always a good sign I think. I love squeaky snow. Do you want to know the science behind when it squeaks and why? Well…
Hair today…
I have my daily chat with the inimitable Mrs P. The counselling sessions have ended (she’s too expensive), so what to talk about?
Day 7 - Bugger!
Having packed our bags very carefully last night in readiness for an early start today I woke at 6am. Raring to go.
Days 5 and 6 - Ljosland
Friday 7th January 2022. We were dropped at the side of the road at 8.30am. Much warmer today and snowing steadily, which it continued to do all day.
Day 4 - Marnardal to…

Oh no! Not again!?
By way of proof that , of late, I seem to be somewhat accident prone, I managed to break a rib today.
The Pain in Spain…
Roller skis have no brakes and I have not used them on downhill sections before…
Are we seriously going to be sleeping in that!?
I think his search criteria was something like:
"What is the lightest thing that we might survive in that isn’t a bin liner?”
