Thanks for the link, Kevin
Main problem I've been having here is persuading people, once they've overheated hacking at the top 4 inches of the frozen landscape in 15 layers of clothes, is to put them all back on before getting chilled. Otherwise core-temperature hasn't been an issue, just hands and feet. Answer with feet seems to be to have 2 pairs of boots and leave one cooking on the cabin heater and keep swapping with a bit of toe-massage in between. Shame the guys doing the here's-a-plan-of-what-could-be-seen-on-Friday didn't finish, looks like some more snow-clearance and hacking off ice in the run-up to Xmas, report needs to be on someone's desk 9am 3/1/11....ho hum.....good thing I've measured where to go looking
.....ashamed to say I've actually quite enjoyed being out on site the last few weeks, but maybe that's cos the accom is a lot better than my flat (the heating works for a start!)....now if only I can defrost the lock on the back of the 4WD and get to the cameras and level....
