Will be quiet for a few days....

[Smiffy]

Off to Lapland first thing in the morning, don't suppose I'll get the chance to come on again until we get back on Sunday evening.
Hope you all get a game in over the next few days, if I manage to get any pics of the Northern Lights, I'll post 'em up when we get back.
Two hip flasks loaded with Glayva and a new pouch of baccy packed.
Cushty!

So just as the snow goes you go looking for more

Have a great time and hope you see the lights. We went to Iceland a few years back but nothing doing!

Was it another dodgy cheap flight offer?

[bluewolf]

Be honest Smiffy, when you were offered a trip to Lapland, you thought it was a gentlemans bar on the High St didn't you.

 

[DaveM]

Enjoy, have a good time Smiffy. Funny seems quiet already.:cheers: .

 

[CMAC]

We went to Iceland a few years back but nothing doing!

Same experience here Amanda, maybe that's why they closed it and opened a Tesco's

Thanks for the good wishes folks. Up nice and early as have to be at Gatwick by 7.00am and I cocked up the alarm clock! At least it means I might get a kip on the 'plane. Loads and loads of thermal gear packed, hand warmers, bottle of "Gentleman Jack" to keep me warm between expeditions. Got a husky sled ride lined up, along with a 2 hour trip out on ski-doo's across a frozen lake and up into a secluded part of the forest to get away from any light pollution so that we can see the stars (and hopefully the Northern Lights) properly.
Also a trip to a reindeer farm and a couple of other things as well. Certainly going to be an action packed 3 days, just hope I can stay awake!
This is where we are heading for.....

And the weather at the moment is looking something like -11 at nights, with -1 during the day, so not as bad as we anticipated. The local forecast for the next 3 days is "cloudy with some clear spells". Hopefully the clear spells will come at night, because if it's cloudy, we're buggered.....

Wrong section of the forum......Knob.

Do you have to pay extra for that?
