Hi Sue, the guy I was talking to used to work at Motorworks. I've spoken to him loads of times but can't recall his name. He did mention Nord (at least I think it was that. It was loud and I was a little bit drunk at the time) and I'm sure they'll make themselves known as we are taking the British flag with us!

Hi mortis, Just in case you get this before you go, I've just got a text from Andy. He's arrived on site, the snow's a metre deep and it was minus 12 at about 4 o'clock. I won't get any more text's as all his batteries (phone, camera etc) are just about dead. Looks like you're in for a good'un. Don't forget to take some scotch to swap for wodka!

It sounds like you were talking to Martin or Ben, I bought Nord's C90 last year - it's been twice now overloaded with a buckled back wheel, top bike (sort of) to stand that sort of abuse.

I wish I was going. Have a brilliant time.
