unusual Christmas meat

Caught the 2nd half of a documentary thing re-creating the Scott/Amundsen race to the south pole the other day.

Upshot was that Amundsen was a competant leader who had planned properly and allowed a decent margin of error. Scott was a good leader of men but was let down by bad planning and over optimism.

That and the fact that Amundsen used dogs all the way there and back and Scott decided to man haul from the halfway point.

Come to think of it, you're man hauling all the way arn'y you?.....

Certainly am, hence the solo and unsupported nature of the trip.

But I'm not Robert Falcon Scott - thank Christ!

Turkey, for goodness sake.

What's the point of having traditions if people go off and do the complete opposite....

Did you see that bird on the Top Gear North Pole Challenge? Kite boarded to suplement her speed. You can get up quite a speed.
