I’m no stranger to the concept that Norway, in March, is cold. Especially
when one is up a mountain. Despite all evidence to the contrary, I am not
usually an idiot.
Present instance notwithstanding: I’m currently up a Norwegian mountain
during a storm. And while I was prepared for ‘cold’, this has taken my
expectations and dipped them in a vat of liquid nitrogen.
In my defence, the weather forecast was adamant that it would not drop
below minus seven degrees. A reasonable temperature even I, a soft-bellied
writer accustomed to too much tea and too many blankets, can manage. But
my nostril hairs are frozen, a phenomenon I’ve never experienced in mildmannered England, so I think it’s safe to say the forecast was wrong.
All this because I have writer’s block.
All this because I thought that experiencing the cold in a real and visceral
way might finally give me the nudge I needed to finish that book I’ve
supposedly been starting for the past six months.
I drag myself back down the path, out of the teeth of the wind. My fingers
are numb and stinging snow is throwing itself from the sky. Why hell is
associated with fire when it’s clearly already frozen over is beyond me.
I can’t feel my toes.
In the end, that’s my downfall. My boots were bought especially for this
expedition and they’re very fancy, but when my toe gets caught in a hole, they
don’t stop my ankle from turning with a sickening pop of pain. And they do not
stop me plunging face-first into a snowdrift.
I don’t scream. Maybe I should have done, but all that leaves my mouth is a
guttural grunt that comes from my core. And then, as I turn my face to the side
in an attempt to find oxygen, a moan.
That hurt.
That hurt.
I roll onto my side and shiver. My ankle throbs and the snow turns into a
blizzard. It would take an unsettlingly short amount of time for it to bury me.
Well, no time for despair. I’ve not come this far to give up at the first sign
of defeat. With a huff of effort, I unclip my rucksack and wiggle free,
attempting to stand. Sharp pain shoots through my leg and I crumple.
Deep breaths.
Truth be told, I really, really don’t want to die. Maybe I should’ve just stuck
with Scotland. Or listened to my brother Thomas and not gone at all, trusting
time to give me the motivation and inspiration I need.
“You’re too young to be having a midlife crisis, Lucy,” he told me over
Friday fish and chips. “That’s what these kinds of trips are. What do you think
is going to happen? You’re going to have some sort of religious experience and
write a book on a slab of rock like Moses and the Ten Commandments?”
Comparing myself to a Biblical figure was a reach, but I had believed that
coming here, fulfilling a wish of a lifetime, would unlock something.
