This being a professional blog, I’m not allowed to swear. Needless to say it was %#**#%# cold last night! -30 pre-windchill. All of us were on the cold side. Yet no one was cold enough to do anything to rectify it!!

Lazy morning – still waiting on the dogs to arrive. Went over to Ian and Dale’s tent for a mocha (2 to be honest). Went out for a test ski today to loosen up the legs. Made sure that bindings, poles and boots work. Warmer today, -10 to -15. Wind is down. Tonight promises to be North Pole colder. Apparently there’s a cold pressure coming down with lowest May temperatures or record recorded earlier today.

Testing out the gear.

Home sweet home for night two on the icecap.
