If you can't duck it...

Doesn't *anyone* have any electrical tape?!?!

I thought by now I would be good at this, yet still we forget the little things. Our final excursion begins tomorrow, visiting some of the classic outcrops of Western and central Spitsbergen. Our planned objectives include the infamous sections of Storvola in Van Keulenfjord and Festningen at the mouth of Isfjord (A personal favourite and nemesis of mine).

Furthermore there's two more places I've wanted to go for ages... Akseløya in Van Mijenfjord and Pyramiden in Billefjord. The latter, albeit a town, costs around 1300 nok to get to for a day trip for a day trip (That's around ~£140). So to get there for free is a huge bonus to anyone from Longyear. The only other way is to walk for about 12 days or go by snow scooter... but we lack the snow.
