Arctic snow and ice greeted the eight
intrepid Abingdonians who went skiing
and dog sledging in Abisko – 680 21° N
180 49° E – over the February half term
where, a few days before the boys’
arrival, temperatures of minus 22° C
had been recorded. Meanwhile, more
than 7,000 miles away along the same
line of longitude, a group of fourth-form
cricketers were dodging the sun in
Cape Town, where they had gone to
hone their cricket skills in advance of
the new season.

not have been quite the same as those in
Abisko but it looked like it.
