The group is quieter than usual as we contemplate the next few days ahead of us. We survived the last acclimatisation day without any serious personal injury. Sweden is as beautiful as I remember it from childhood. There is something exceptionally inspiring about this landscape, despite the cold. The snow clings to the trees like cotton wool and there is a permanent silence that hangs in the air. It's -25c tonight. We head out in just over an hours time. The group leaders have had to rethink our plans as it's just too dangerous for us to 'camp' in the usual spot by the lake. Temperatures are too cold down there (in excess of -30c) and the snow is at chest height. I'm off now to re-think the packinng of my bag. Thank you for all the messages of support. They are a great source of motivation.
