Let's see if I can do this...
Charley felt a sudden blast of strong Arctic air hit her as she and the Doctor stepped out of the TARDIS. Hugging g herself for warmth, she glared at the Doctor.
" Well, this is certainly not what I had in mind when you suggested a holiday"." Charley hugged herself more. "It's absolutely freezing!"
The Doctor stuck out his tongue playfully, watching snowflakes fall on it. " Oh, Charley, you're going to love it here! There's lots to see. A village, ships, and..." He gestured towards where the TARDIS had landed. "That.!"
Charley shook her head. " You are not suggesting we should try scaling that thing, are you? " She looked at the mountain, feeling a bit of dread . " Have you brought us to Mount Everest or something?"
"Better!" The Doctor exclaimed, reaching into a pocket of his coat for a pair of gloves. " This is Mount Neverest. Only one person has scaled it, or" He rubbed his chin. "Perhaps it was one duck,? No matter. Are you up for a bit of climbing , Miss Pollard?"
Charley wanted to laugh at the thought of a duck scaling a mountain, but knowing the Doctor by now she had a fairly good idea he was right. "Well, can you at least give me a moment to change?" She looked down at the flowing green dress. " Baroque is not , I'm assuming, suitable , for this sort of weather."

Charley emerged several minutes later from the TARDIS wardrobe, now dressed In a puffy blue coat , brown boots, and earmuffs and a hat. " Where do we start?" she asked.
The Doctor handed her a plastic cup from the food machine. " With this." He took a sip. " Not exactly like cocoa , but it will keep you warm."
( Yes, the mountain name and the duck are a reference to Ducktales :P)
