Approaching Paamiut, warmly dressed!
what I wore
- thermal ski trousers
- quick-dry thin trousers
- puffa down jacket with a fake fur outer
- ski mittens
- fleece gloves
- wool and cashmere knit beret purchased in Shetland
- low-cut hiking boots (no ankle support)
- long sleeved cotton tops by day, cotton t-shirts by night
- thick cotton socks
- sealskin insoles purchased in Nuuk
- fleece
- Buffalo sleeping bag
what I packed (and didn't use much or at all)
- mosquito repellent (fortunately, it was too late in the season!)
- thermal trousers (except on the deck of the coastal ferry)
- thinly padded reflective camping mat (used in Copenhagen airport)
- bivvy bag (thank God I didn't have to do emergency camping!)
- camp stove without gas canister (what was I thinking? that I would cook outdoors?)
- head torch (flashlight) (loaned by the same person who loaned bivvy bag and stove)
- compass (but wouldn't have gone hiking without it)
- mobile phone (used as alarm clock, but not for calls. The saga of telephones in Greenland deserves its own page.)
