I am pensive today, a lot of thinking going into organisation of the sled
contents which is easy in a warehouse but makes me think how much more
difficult it will be at -35C. A good day today as we all headed out on skis
up Adventdalen with our full pulk sled loads (+60kg) and then pitched our
tents and lit stoves etc. in a camp mock up. It is looking very likely that
we will fly north on Tuesday am for the start of an incredible journey. The
first successful test flight to Camp Barneo was today. Do you like my
mustard jacket?
