Today we have rain, and my kitchen is full of red Christmas ants.

The reservoirs in Bergen? Ah, they'll never freeze enough for me to feel safe to ski across.<br /><br />The perfect glove system... You know what? I've been typing for an hour on this subject and have just realised that this is probably enough material for a separate post so I'm going to delete the above opus and write something up for the blog! Maybe we can share some ideas there instead.<br /><br />Dave - to be honest it's not like this all winter! Bergen is more known for it's dull, grey low cloud and constant rain. The record for successive days of rain is something like 87...<br /><br />I'm planning to make the most of it and it looks like we're going to have a white Christmas over here!Joe Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00907231785281446095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399206197069094470.post-59167649251186860492009-12-21T09:41:19.043+01:002009-12-21T09:41:19.043+01:00Great stuff.

Kids are enjoying snow for the first time. They've not got much choice as mum and dad want to be out in it all. Hope to get out into the hills before it all vanishes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113976429882261890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399206197069094470.post-21167890852043883742009-12-21T07:34:16.848+01:002009-12-21T07:34:16.848+01:00Very nice!

We have skiing tracks on the lakes, where they prepare them, and also in the forest area behind my house one can go skiing, so it would be very easy to go if I had skis =) <br /><br />What's your take on the glove system? I need some new gloves, the current ones don't do it for backpacking. I saw Colin's article, and thought to give them merino ones a try.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17919113324490223605noreply@blogger.com
