So cold

Saturday
All went well with flights, transfers etc.

Sunday
Plane to Greenland, landed at 5pm - 36km west of where they should have been as the ground at the original site was too dangerous. Very cold, exposed & windy so made camp straight away, building snow walls to protect themselves.

Monday
Lots of spindrift. Reinforced camp & built a kitchen out of snow. Tested skis, after 10 mins Gerwyn's bindings broke so turned back.

Tuesday
Russ's birthday. Ski to apparantly nearby peak. Arrive one & a half hours later! Climbed very broken ridge to the summit which they named "Birthday Peak". Saw lots of fossilised ferns. Gerwyn's crampons broke ( detecting a theme here ). The ski back was uphill & arduous, had a whiskey toast for Russ's birthday on return to camp.

Wednesday
Planning day. Lovely weather. Checked guns, skis & sleds; changed route as original one far too icy & cravasse- filled. Everyone ok, Gerwyns breakages fixed, got far too much food.
