Well done all of you happy shiny people on the 2013 chally and the <50 standby list.
Normally at 84? on the SB I would pack ready for a last minute summons and may even yet fly up for the cheese and wines. Rest assured I will be following every word on the message board and the blogs -tearfully but happy for you all who will have such a brilliant experience regardless of whatever the weather Gods choose to throw at you.
NoNoNo - I insist that u do not feel sorry for me - I have afterall been invited out to Calgary to rough it in the Rockies for 2 weeks- it won't be the same tho....................Freddy..hate dehydrated .......love Pemmican

Hi Freddy,

Good to hear from you though sorry to hear you're far down on the standby list. Barney and I were wondering! I'm sure the Rockies would be very good if it comes to it. Here's hoping for you regardless.

Hi JJ
I am glad you got on - have a great crossing.
Great bothynight- hope to finish 'power sex and suicide'before we meet again!
If I get on 2014 I shall seek you out- you and Barney carry sooo much food and are so sharing.
I shall be carrying a ton more food next time -it has taken me 2 crossings to learn that it is a false economy to shave of ounces from food.
Very impressed by your heading up into the Monads in such ferocious conditions- supermen.
send me your route at isfa@live.com
respects
Freddy
