Hi Robert,

Welcome to CoolAntarctica! I'm a scottish FID myself having spent 2? years at Stonington Island some 30 odd years ago in the dog sledge era. Where do you live in Scotland?

Regards.

Hi I live in Cumbernauld which is dead central re the central belt feels a bit like the deep south this morning !!

Hi Drummond I just remebered that John Killinbeck was one of our lecturers on the trip He brought the last dog teams off the continent

[drummy]

Indeed he did. The last two teams were the Admirals and the Huns. I drove the Huns from 1971-1973 doing about 2000 miles in each of the two years I was at Stonington.
