A different trip into the hills this weekend.... the Big Igloo build, together with Helen, Walkhighlands' gear editor Phil Turner, photographer/blogger David Lintern and partner Tanya, plus expert help from Chris Townsend who happens to be an igloo guru. Assistance also from filmmaker Terry Abrahams.

Tough working and it's taking a long time...
A very long time
11.30pm and it's miraculously finished. 6'7" high inside and 11 feet across, very comfortably slept 5 of us.
The effort has taken its toll
Igloo in the morning.
The igloo may be around for a while, would be great to see others' photos of it over the next week or two and hear from anyone else who stays the night in it!
David has made a time-lapse video of the igloo construction, which just has to be shared here:
