I'm back from the Arctic

[jubieanna]

I've just returned from my arctic adventure. it was absolutely brilliant. a million times harder than i expected and far far colder than I could ever had imagined!! It was -35 and everything froze! nostril hair and eyelashes!!!!
I husky sledded in Kiruna and stayed in a wilderness cabin where we had get water from the frozen lake and take care of our own team of huskies. it was hard work but needed to be as it was a challenge that I was raising money for a local mencap centre. I saw a fantastic display of the northern lights which was the icing on the cake. what an adventure! you're never too old to realise your dreams x

Nice try on the embedding there, Ed ... However, the phrase 'EPIC FAIL' springs to mind ... looool :-) x

Welcome home jubie! I have been wondering how you got on. Oh, that sounds so very cold. Glad you had a brilliant time - the lights must have been the icing on your cake x

Lovely, sounds like my sort of holiday. I've been to Siberia TWICE and the temp went down to -41 (sorry to trump you!) but it's the sort of holiday you never forget. Thanks for bringing back those memories. (But, in your case, it wasn't really holiday, was it?)
