Have a great trip!
Good for you.
I do hope you're not going on your own.
Can't wait to see the photos.
But I'm wondering what NOKs are.
P.S. Are there any caches there?
NOK = Norwegian Krona, Trouty. (had to look it up myself!)
Hutters, if I ever find the lovely kids pome about polar bears in Spitzbergen I shall share it with you.
GPS? Cache details?
Gottle
There are caches all the way, inc Longyearbyen/Spitsbergen. Whoopee!
Woooo hooooo!!
I hope you have a really lovely time.
That's going to be a great trip! Looking forward to future blog entries and photos.
(Whoa, the word verification for sending this comment is dyingeat. Make sure you have that gun when surrounded by polar bears.)
Wow! What an amazing trip. Can I come?!!!
Just make sure you enjoy every second - even when you're lying in your tent, freezing, surrounded by whiteout and wondering why you embarked on this expedition.
Look forward to the blogs. It's not every day you get to hear of such adventures first hand.
