It was unusual to wake to a still tent, wind being our constant companion to date. After registering any buffeting on the tent I remove my eyeshades and look for sun. It?s rare on this trip to hit pay dirt - still and sunny - and our odds didn?t increase this morning. Within seconds I wake Paul and Jade in their neighbouring tent and light my stove. Heath does likewise, we have two stoves between three of us. Milo kicks off the day followed by brekkie bomb and topped with coffee.

Now that we are within the last degree we poo in wag bags, which are commercially available latrine bags that include a large bag with powdered desiccant for the business, a wad of toilet paper, a small ziplock to bundle the used big bag into and a moist (frozen) towelette. We have four each but will eventually spend 7 nights within 89 degrees and are reusing bags. Delightful!

We crept through the poor contrast until after lunch when a break in the cloud opened up and bathed us and the landscape in beautiful light. With the light came warmth, too much of it, and we stripped down to board shorts and sandals. Ok, not quite, but shell jackets were removed. I?d hoped that our tally of 17km would bring a room with a view, specks of the station on the horizon, but a cloud bank to the south kept it obscured. Obscured by Clouds. A shout out to the first person to name the band that had an album by that name.
