I thought that maybe I should also just mention something about the station that sheltered us, fed us, and provided a base of operations

I don’t think I have ever stayed at a nicer field site station. The station its self is well equipped and clean. The facilities are excellent for a field site. Also most importantly the good was spectacular.

Staff at the centre were more helpful than I could have imagined and many of the activities and achievements made in this field trip would have not been possible without the help of Gunhild Rosqvist (Ninis) and Torbjörn Karlin. So we all thank you and hope that we can return to the field site and carry on the research in the Tarfala valley and surrounding area.

Also I would like to thank you for the bottom of my heart for the amazing sauna you have installed at the station. I am adamant that the reason I never woke up sore or had any blisters is due in large part to that heavenly construction. For any person visiting this is a must do in the evenings, so too is the sauna to the yok (quite possibly spelt wrong) experience.  Just watch out for stones as my poor foot found out.
