Its time to introduce the team - and the team name. Jo, Lucy and I make up the POLAR SLUGS! Slugs because we strike an alarming similarity when all in our sleeping bags! Also, its to lull the competition into a false sense of security as after all, slugs are not know for their speed over the ground! You may also have noticed that I have started to grow my beard! It is fiercely Ginger at the moment - and strangely having one has given me the appetite to flail my arms around on public transport whilst grunting loudly!
We have divided responsibilities amongst ourselves. One person is responsible for a task with someone else to support if needed. I am in charge of many things, the most important being the food and the cooking duties (which also includes gathering and melting the snow/ice for water). We are eating dehydrated food (casseroles, chille, soups etc) which will not try my culinary skills too much, but I am proposing to take some enhancements to reduce the monotony. Ideas so for are Tabasco sauce, veggie bouillon, packs of jelly, herbs, garlic granules... If you have any ideas please leave a comment!
Jo is in charge of shooting, the gun and the ammunition and Lucy is in charge of medical areas - which is very handy that she is a doctor.
We have a Facebook page - please like or follow or what ever you do - and leave messages of support!
We have recently spent our first night together in the tent which was great. It was cold but we were all fine in our remarkably warm RAB sleeping bags. Another update will follow on that later but it was our first taste of waking up to a tent with ice on the outside.
