The plan for today is to ski towards Snofjell with the aim
of returning back to the base via the ice-dammed lake and Geomorph-Life Science
Valley. I remember going there with Greg and I don’t see how it can be done but
que sera sera.

Skiing was pretty good today. I sewed my rucksack up and it
was actually not too uncomfortable. We were going along at a fair pace. We had
lunch under flys, I with the four boys, during which we decided that it might
be an idea to rearrange accommodation. The original plan was for me to swap
with Rob. I just mentioned the plan to Val before we continued and she said
that she would mention it to the others.
Anyway, rain/bad light/gales and 10m
visibility stopped play whilst we were all happily beadling along into a
crevasse field, and after a bit of hoo’ing and ha’ing I moved in swapping with Matt
– and we pitched with great difficulty when the slightest attention loss caused
Karrimats to go very far for a Burton.
Life had begun to look up a little. The
cards were brought out, then dinner was had, then those, literary (or
il-literary, resorting to the likes of Judith Krantz) – minded read. Sleeping
was crowded but warm, and also gave cooking opportunities a limited scope.
Luckily John and Rob made passable porridge!
