Yups.
My friend's parents own a hotel by some natural springs in The Yukon. He told me there is nothing better than sitting in a natural hot spring, drinking a cold beer and watching the sky dance. I don't doubt him for a moment.

Chuck in a fat spliff and I'll see you at the pearly gates.

deal.
basically, I think it would be rude of me not to watch the Northern Lights while smoking some Northern Lights.

Mixed with Purple Haze while listening to Purple Haze.

Indeed.
Amazing weed in Canada too so you'd be a happy boy.

maybe going to Canada to see them is a better idea than going to Iceland then
that way I'd get to go to Canada as well.

I'd quite like to go to Iceland, they've got a fucking massive rift valley from separating tectonic plates.

it's got cheaper now
since their economy got fucked up.

Toying with the idea of going next year, as they are predicting it being a good year for the aurora. Probably something to do with the world ending.

Coming up to solar maximum innit.
It's impossible to predict when solar activity will effect the atmosphere (edit: unless you're prepared to go on 24-hours notice) so it's all down to luck really. You've got a better chance next year than any in the next eleven years. It's certainly on my list of things to do, probably in 2023.

I'll put a date in the calendar.
Northern Lights bash 2023.

I'm all for that idea

I went last year
it was London prices but no worse, really, although booze is expensive. Icelandair do package deals for about £250 and they're a bargain.

that is good to know, thanks

I've always wanted to go to Iceland.
New Foundland is probably the closest I've ever got to something that looks like it. That hebridean look is beyond beautiful to me.

Aw me too.
I love barren looking landscapes.
( girlinthehole, Fri 1 Apr 2011, 15:02, Reply)

Windswept, cold and rugged.
I like my views like I like my men...

Old, hairy and drug-addled?

Haha!

You're just right but any more weight loss and I'd have to kick you to the kerb.

( girlinthehole, Fri 1 Apr 2011, 15:10, Reply)

I'm pretty much done now
but shoulders and arms are getting more muscly

The Outer Hebrides are the best place I've been so far
absolutely stunning
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 1 Apr 2011, 15:02, Reply)

I would love to go there.
My parents went to the Faroe Islands a few years ago and loved it.

I might just quit my job on Monday, empty my bank account and fuck off north.

it really was beautiful
are you my friend on facebook? if so, I have some pictures of it on there. I think. or my mrs does.

Yups. I'll have a look now.

( wanderlust, Fri 1 Apr 2011, 15:12, Reply)

I'm hoping to be able to travel for a year in my early fifties.

( girlinthehole, Fri 1 Apr 2011, 15:11, Reply)

I'll meet you somewhere along the way.

( wanderlust, Fri 1 Apr 2011, 15:15, Reply)
