Ok, so now I'm getting butterflies. I always get like this before a trip especially If I'm going without my wife. I think it's a mixture of stuff. Excitement at going and the knowledge that when I say good bye to home and my lovely wife, I'll have a huge knot in my stomach. Once I'm out there, I'll be fine again and they days will go quickly and before I know it I'll be home again boring everyone, including my wife, with tales of high adventure.
With just a week to go before I fly out to Greenland, this is the time to start checking the weather forecast, which actually looks pretty good at the moment. This helps to inform those last minute choices about clothing. I'm also doing some last minute checks of kit and will probably pack and repack all my kit and food a couple of times over the next few days. This is partly to make sure everything fits into the pack and partly to become more and more familiar with where things are.
You can check the forecast here too. The photo below is of all the kit I'll be carrying. I'll post a kit list in the next couple of days.
