Jo Early Morning at -25 Deg
Our second night out on the ice was marginally warmer, but I hunkered down much better, so didn’t get as cold, and got a better nights sleep. I have attached a picture of me in my sleeping bag from this morning – not great quality, but you can see how wrapped up I am and all the ice on the outside of the sleeping bag!
We had an hour’s ski into base camp, once we had bought the pulks in, and sorted kit out, I dived straight into the shower – bliss! The shower is over a bath, there are no plugs, but flannels work very well, and I enjoyed my last soak for 3 weeks!
All my kit has now been washed, and we are slowly sorting out our stuff out.
The rest of today, is spent planning our route, sorting out our pulks and getting ready for the start of the race 9.00am – 10.00am tomorrow morning
