Instead of the Dakar





Taking full advantage of the recent chilly weather Andy and Simon set out to dig themselves a mountain top retreat. So the weather started off fine, but soon deteriorated. But with a bit of shovel work (about 4 tonne) a home was excavated and the kettle put to good use.
For those with a head for the figures the snowhole had two entrances, three rooms, two wardrobes. was 7m from front to back and had a maximum span of 2.5m. The snow was over a metre thick over the highest part of the cave. The temperature inside was a consistent zero degrees whilst outside it was horrible!
