Expedition - Day Eleven

Start: 1402
Weather: Cloudy and humid.

Another day, another morning of sitting in the tent, waiting for Matt, Iain and Alistair to have breakfast.

When they eventually surfaced, we took some promo shots for Carl Bro and the charities – except Matt who did not bring his t-shirts!

I was quickly reminded of why I didn’t want to turn around, once we had set off. The chossy terrain didn’t seem as bad going downhill, but it was still hard work. The going got a little easier once we met up with the VW ice-road, but after it petered out the crevasses got bigger and bigger…

Tired and cold, we set up camp then the rain started pouring. A week tonight we will be winging our way to Copenhagen. In a strange way I cannot wait.

Camp: N 67° 8’ 38·9” W 49° 44’ 48·3”
Alt: 825 m
Distance: 5·73 km
Finish: 1808
