We were tent bound today due to a blizzard. Below is my post from yesterday before heavy cloud blocked the satellite modem signal.


A strong wind from the south east together with heavy sastrugi and a low dark sky made life pretty tough today. Stopped at 7.15pm and couldn't get our tent up fast enough.

Keith had his first full day off the bike.

20km in 9 hours of skiing. Ouch!

Low on power due to an absconded sun so keeping this blog short.

Happy solstice everybody.

Eric
