Now this really is the coldest I've ever been!


I think now I can assure you that this is the last time I ever say that! Whilst out in the coldest climes that i'm due to encounter on this trip (i'm only heading south from now on), we were all advised to put on all the clothes we had with us at camp. I clocked up two pairs of warm socks and boots, leg thermals, trousers and sallopets, longsleeved thermal top, vest top, long sleeved t-shirt, t-shirt, shirt, another shirt, fleece, hoodie and coat, skimask, buff and scarf, silk gloves, fleece gloves and ski gloves and two hats. All I had left was one more pair of socks which I rejected in favour of putting my boots on easily...I wish I'd tried harder! In fact it was soooo cold here, whilst enjoying a few drinks around a bonfire in blizzard like weather, all our drinks froze in our hands within about half hour!
