For 16 months from 2020 to 2021 Neil dealt with the debilitating effects of Long Covid. While still quite ill he decided that, despite having never been on nordic skis, planning to ski the length of Norway would give him the incentive to recover. Almost one year later, in January 2022, Neil and 2 friends attempted to ski more than 3,000 km from Norway’s southern most point at Lindesness to the northern most point at Nordkapp. Having battled through what was described in Norway as a “really ugly” winter, two of the original 3 members of the team finally arrived at Nordkapp on the 7th April 2022.
