Packing Up the Sled

Well, it's been a fun week sharing this Polar Expedition with you and now we have some prizes to hand out. It was a close-run thing on the Caption Competition and we were delighted to have so many entries to choose from. In the end, we decided to pick out 2 Caption winners. There was only one entry for the Quiz but Bill was spot-on in his answers (although Alaska is still on our-wishlist). We enjoyed the humour in all of them.


So here are our 3 winners:

CAPTION COMPETITION:

Both Sides Now wins a copy of Firebridge to Skyshore for:

top photo: Poet Ahoy!

Bottom photo: This way to The Road Less travelled

and Celia wins a copy of Creatures of the Intertidal Zone for:

Top: 'Today, especially for Erik, I am mainly wearing red.'

Bottom: 'From the Northern Lights H&S Department - please find attached an image depicting the latest provision for those suffering from over-exposure to reconginsed phenomena'

POLAR POETS QUIZ:

Bill wins copy of Stories Drummed poems DVD by Siobhan (see his answers here)

Congratulations to all of you and we hope you enjoy your prizes. If you contact us on polarpoets@googlemail.com we can arrange to send these on to you.

And that's not all, folks ... We've been busy contacting venues and festivals all week so we hope we will soon have news of our first bookings for the Polar Poets. If you have any suggestions of your own, we'd love to hear them. Meanwhile, we will keep posting on the progress of our venture and any thoughts on the arctic world we've been trekking through. So don't be a stranger - do drop in and see us again! I'll leave you with an image from my last visit to Norway - a fjord in its autumn colours - utterly magical.
