Try and imagine, if you will, a number of, shall we say, persons, who have decided to take a  trip. Most people would go to Florida, or Butlins, or even a Bed and Breakfast in Brighton. But our erstwhile group of travellers? No Way!!!

Nope, this lot decided to get in a draughty Land Rover and drive to the arctic circle to see the Northern Lights. Well this is what we are told, anyway. Could it be they are fleeing something or somebody? Have they managed to lose their minds overnight?

I must admit before continuing, that I am rather fond of the nice warm living room in my house. If it’s cold, I have been known to hibernate; not just for a few days, but for months! I have ridden the rapids, flown planes and had myriad other adventures, but the idea of heading into the cold, deliberately, has never even crossed my mind, let alone appealed to me!

And so they are leaving! I don’t know whether they found enough carpet to keep themselves warm as they sleep in the Land Rover overnight! I don’t know if they are aware of the nasty creatures around the arctic circle – polar bears, penguins and baked alaska.

But still, I wish them the best. May they be safe and, well not too warm, as I believe they must suffer a little for their adventurous spirits and foolhardiness!

Go get ’em guys and try to keep all your fingers and toes!
