Excellent news, Mrs Ted has been found. Monkey has been looking to her all over the north, but she never left England. She had been held hostage by Royal Mail allegedly for insufficient postage. Ransom demand has been met and she's now safely arrived down south kicking her heels in my post in tray until I return. Will post onto Gillian as soon as we get back.

Great stuff. Apologies if you had to stump up cash - That'll learn me to get someone else to post it! (We have no post office here)

Do the usual, title, location, date name of tog and e mail to me. Ta

Butterface is going off on 21st Oct - so I don't think Costa Rica is on ??? Talk to each other if you think it can be done.

[Butter Face]

I'll be back Saturday 29th so realistically I could get Ted in the post Monday 31st for next day?

[CVP]

No problems, will post upon our return in a week or so.

So not many of Mrs Ted given her travel mishap, but Monkey volunteered to come with us to help look for Mrs Ted. This is his diary

None required - had be chuckling this morning

And Greenland looks amazing !!

[CVP]

Greenland was the south east. Flew in from Reykjavik to Tasiilaq had a couple of days there and transferred to Kulusuk and did more walking there.

I'd say it is barren, wild, remote...and beautiful, silent, awe inspiring. Going out before breakfast and all you can hear is the howling of the huskies. I loved it, definitely lived up to my expectations. Will do a deeper report with more careful images I took as and when I get round to processing them. Everywhere you look is an amazing panorama, an old Fuji G617 would have been an incredible choice.

Returned from Tasiilaq to Iceland and this time went round the south and round to the eastern fjords. I have to say this has been my favourite bit of Iceland I have seen to date. Managed a couple of hours at Jokulsarlon glacial lagoon and it really is simply magical there particularly the beach with icebergs washed up, even if I did get completely soaked twice trying to get iceberg and wave images 😀 For some of the locations I think the drone enthusiasts here would create some amazing films. So much so I splurged all of 25 on a tiny cheap drone to see if I can learn to fly one maybe the something better.

Lots of processing to do and boil it down to some hopefully decent images.

Hi CVP,

Would you mind as we do Iceland and Canada every year, post somewhere the photo's of Greenland and the cost from Iceland please? and locations.

We came back from Campbell river yesterday and had some great 7 hour hikes, so will post my photo's in the travel section later.


Sorry to hijack the thread, but I an a side note I have been trying to take the current TED for years but my holidays clash with the early takers.

Must try to get mine in quickly.

Where/what has Mr Murray got planned Steve? Or is it a state secret

He's flogging his F1, so thought Ted should be there at the end. Either that, or if timing doesn't work, at the start of the new TVR.
