Obligatory ski first thing to get the blood flowing and then a theory session in preparation for the immersion familiarisation. Immersion in the sea-ice, that is.
Packed up and fully equipped we made our way to the harbour area in a cold wind and light snow – it was going to be cold!
Unfortunately conditions didn’t favour the exercise at all as we were unable to reach any open water in anything that might be considered a safe way. In fact we’d be lucky to reach it in any way so we had to abandon our plans.
Back to Guesthouse 102 to change and then off to Husset for a super-burger.
The evening was spent discussing and illustrating everything we had done during the week with a talk from me, lubricated by some of Trond’s best red wine.
