Inside the tent is relatively warm and cosy, especially inside the super comfortable and warm sleeping bags, but outside, brrrr, I know it is cold! With temperatures dipping to around zero Celsius at night, and only slightly above during the early morning hours, I always seem to find it hard to get up and moving. But as usual after a (long) while I gather enough energy and courage to do so. 3 Mar 2009 09:00:45 GMT http://www.sim1.se/swe/north/Tarraluoppal/tarraluoppal_01.html 3 Mar 2009 09:00:45 GMT http://www.sim1.se/ 5 Mar 2009 13:00:45 GMT
