#10:
Return to Longyearbyen

Published at 18:04

We all enjoyed our final camp in the middle of Sassendalen.

The Hagglunds, driven by the good-natured Stein, whose Norwegian woollen jumper the ladies all fell in love with, picked us up just after 11 and we returned to Longyearbyen to meet up with Tom, Sabine and Rebecca.

It was a tough trip in terms of cold management and I'm sad that it resulted in some cold injuries and the splitting of the team. But it seems that everyone enjoyed their own time in this exquisitely beautiful and challenging land and came away with a learning experience. I really enjoyed everyone's company and look forward to a final dinner tomorrow night.

In the meantime we men will go out and buy Norwegian woollen jumpers!
