Here we go again


When I came off the ice prematurely last year a whole year to wait to try again seamed such a very long way away. From here, December 2009, I grasp at the days as they speed by trying to eke out every hour from them for the last preparations. A new sled has been ordered and many improvements have been made and I am now itching to get out there and try them all out

Row, row, row your sled

My last day in Norway was spent with Alex of Acapulka. I traveled to Telemark not only to pick up my new sled but also to test strapping two together and making a raft. Alex's workshop is always a hive of activity. Although the market for polar sleds is small everyone wants one of these Rolls Royces of the sled world. Each is hand made over many days and intricate steps that are remarkably hard to complete in the below zero temperatures that surround… Continue

Filefjell, Norway and loads of new kit to test

Short but bright days made the training trip a joy. -30 feels so good when the sun shines and the sunsets are a bouquet of firey pastels. But all did not start well...

We had not taken 100 paces that one of my ski poles broke in half. Luckily I had an aluminum tube in my repair kit and some sports tape and we managed to patch it together but it was a sign of how important it will be to have the right equipment and tools to deal with any… Continue
