I'm thinking I might take the chance and get both feet wet. I just need to work out this polar alignment routine. Drift alignment has been strongly recommended instead of the polar scope, so reading up and need to practice.
My heavy weather wet gear, for sailing, has proven effective in fighting off the cold so I should be able to get a couple of hours in.
Maybe Allan can manage the drive up and provide a safe haven for frozen toes and noses!

hint, hint....

I'm happy to bring packets of hot chocolate and tea bags.
So count me in as a definite, most probably, will be there.
