I'm in the Arctic circle!

Well I've made it to Tromso, a couple of hundred miles inside the Arctic circle and a mere 1200 miles from the North Pole. There was a slight delay taking off from Oslo as Tromso airport was closed due to a blizzard. The pilot cheerfully announcing that he'd see how we got on when we got there. After the bumpiest ever final approach in a complete grey out we skidded from side to side along the runway and they promptly closed the airport behind us!!

A couple of snaps of down town Tromso to help cool you down in balmy Winchester!








Time to break out the thermals at last :-)
