We're now pretty adpet at the lovely clear Finnish and Swedish roads up here so decided it'd be a good idea to do a bit of green laning, scandanavian style. Using our rest day well we set out with the Vauxhal, Rialto and Nissan to find some fresh snow.
After a lot of thrashing about logging tracks and avoiding skimobiles we were told by a helpful local that the polive would impound our cars if we were found. A speedy exit later and we discovered a veritable playground, perfect for trying those handbrake turns and rally manouvers. Sadly this led to a 3 car pile up with the Vaxhaul hitting the Rialto and the Nissan then piling into the back of the Vaxhaul. Sum total of damage being a wrecked rialto boot, a trashed front headlight for the nissan and not a scratch on the Vaxhaul. At the same time we were seeing how far we could push the AX. Famous last words of "I wonder if we can get across this drift if we go fast enough" led to being towed out by the 4x4.
All in all a fun day.
Throughout our adventures up north we've been trialling the Lookfly base layers. They've made it through the ice hotel, blizzards and even a day on the ski slopes and the verdict is they really work. With temperatures as low as -5 we've been toasty.
Sadly the Library's free internet has no USB so the photos and videos will have to wait.
