Day 2

The ice was worse today, broken and felt as if there was no glide. Although we did see an Arctic Fox, who ran past looking at us in amazement. We are both sore and slowly getting into our glide. We knew this first week would be hard, and although Kev is eating I am doing my normal and struggling with getting the rations eaten! But that will change when the body gets hungry, but I am not throwing rations away - yet. Kev is convinced I want Abs by the end of the trip!

The evening admin was slicker tonight and the tent still has 2 poles. You really couldn't have made up the issues last night - it almost became a real survival exercise!

As yet we are making no mileage towards the pole - that will start to happen in about 2 days time when we turn north and head away from Cornwallis Island. But our second nights camp is further than my third nights camp in 2011 ... which is good.

Now for dinner and charades .... I am amazed at what Kev does to keep us entertained!
