Fund-raising ski the length of Norway

You might be interested in this chap, David Leaning, who is ski-ing the length of Norway to raise funds for the Mines Advisory Group, who are (to quote their website) "a neutral and impartial humanitarian organisation clearing the remnants of conflict for the benefit of local communities worldwide". His website charting his progress is at http://skinorway.org.uk/ From his diary and map, he is well into Lapland now and it is a race against the thaw to Nordkapp.
