Scott

Before I went to England, I finished a book about the four polar explorers, Nansen, Amundsen, Scott and Shackleton. Today made me think about those expeditions. First of all, we are also on an expedition. Secondly, there is a lot of snow here. The weather conditions here could nearly be described as arctic. Thirdly:Scott tried to use horses and motorized vehicles to get to the pole, but always stated that the only real way was doing it on foot. Although we are not going to the pole, we are on foot.

As it has been really cold here today, at least for England (-2), all the gatelocks have frozen, and we've been forced to climb over them. Closer inspection showed that they were made by relatives of the people who constructed Scotts motorized vehicles.

We've taken in at a pub called Robin Hood. Looking forward to relax there the next hours and have a good nights sleep.

Time used: 9 hours
