BACK TRACKING - Fri 15th May

Out on the ice today, the weather has finally turned around and there are crystal clear blue skies with a light mild wind. Frustratingly for the team, communication with Dines has proved difficult and they have been unable to determine if he is on the move towards them. After discussions with Mikkel and the team at Destination East Greenland, they have decided that they will start to move back towards Dines’s last coordinates and hopefully meet him in the middle. As the snow is still very soft and deep, the 6km will be both physically and mentally hard for all the team. Although it is a big psychological blow having to back track across the ice, the team’s spirits are still high and even after being stuck in camp for 3 days they claim to all still be sane!

Over the last few days huddled in camp, they have planned world domination, told a multitude of jokes (which Chloe would not repeat for publishing :() and have had their spirits kept alive by all your lovely messages of support. Please keep the messages coming.

Chloe’s quote of the day: “going to the loo is proving interesting when you sink up to your crutch in the snow!”

They are going to call in with their coordinates later today or 1st thing tomorrow.
