Snow travel is something we're just getting to grips with and we're giving cross country skiing a try next.<BR/><BR/>Shadow - Yes, I remembered everything this time. It looks pretty now but the snow will disappear with the next thaw (a seemingly weekly occurrence here at the moment) and it'll be us up to our armpits in mud!<BR/><BR/>ptc* - Glad that photie cheered you up. It's nice to be able to return the favour for once. <BR/><BR/>Martin - It was good to finally get past that sticking point at the top of Ulriken. Seems strange that it took deep snow and a freezing wind to provide the perfect conditions for furthering my horizons.<BR/><BR/>Bobinson - Snow shoes - yet something else to add to the list! At least they make sense now. Time to do some homework.<BR/><BR/>Chris - thanks for the recommendation. Yes, it was a beautiful day and the most fun I've had in the mountains since we climbed Skarasalen in the summer.Joe Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00907231785281446095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399206197069094470.post-19596003300902883442009-01-27T05:36:00.000+01:002009-01-27T05:36:00.000+01:00Looks like a beautiful day you had up there.
