Hey,So that night after the paintballing we had a quiet night as we had to be up early the following day to spend the whole day walking on the glacier.We arrived at the glacier office and got kitted up with boots, crampons(spikes to attach to boots), and rain jacket (oh and wooly hat and mittens that Andy wouldnt let me wear). Then we took a short coach trip to the galcier car park, from there it was about a 45min walk to the base of the gacier. Once there, they ...

Once they arrived, and noticed that they had, had a fair bit to...
