Last Gasps for the Lights !

It was surprising how quickly the week had gone, I was in to my last day, having seen bits of the Northern Lights, but not really the type of show I had expected, with cloud cover virtually all the time.

Not wanting to waste the day, I had an early lunch and set off with my trusty sledge – by now having worked out that the Red ones were the ‘fastest’ ! – up the hill again, for a final afternoon of sledging…. ready for anything, and shooting down the hill again and again, until finally nearing exhaustion, I sledged all the way down the hill, along the road, through the Hotel complex, and on the mini ‘mogul run’ created at the side of the Hotel, eventually being thrown up in the air by a combination of my speed and the big ‘bumps’..so crashing over and out…

At dinner that night everyone was wondering whether the ‘lights’ would put on a final show, so with great excitement I went out up to the top of the hill, to find that once again it was snowing,overcast,misty…and no real prospects of a ‘show’,so, that was it… I gave up and went to bed for an early night !
