Description:

EDIT: date and location change, details added

This is an annual trip to maintain the wood supply at our Phelix/Waddington Hut ! The lazy and expensive option would be to buy wood and use a helicopter, but that money can be better used elsewhere and we've shown it can be done manually. And what could be better than supplying wood for the warmth and comfort of yourself and others next winter ?

Here's a pic Roland Burton took of Gabe during the 2016, demonstrating an extreme example of what we'll be doing:
