Saturday’s weather was great with clear blue sunny skies, but the warm temperatures melting the deep fresh snow made the teams journey very hard going. After 12kms of slogging through the wet heavy snow, the whole team were extremely tired and glad to set up camp to rest for the night.

They woke on Sunday for an early start and were able to leave camp by 9.30am. Temperatures had dropped over night and the morning was overcast, meaning the snow, which had hardened over night, stayed crisp and firm for the morning skiing. The harder surface made it quicker going for the dogs and easier for the team to glide on their skis so they made great progress, covering 20km by 3.30pm.  Chloe had a go at sledge skiing, by holding onto a rope at the back of the Sledge  she was able to let the dogs momentum pull her along - although less tough on the legs she said it was very hard going on the arms!  The sun emerged later in the afternoon and the team stopped early to set up camp in order to enjoy a long, sunny relaxing evening.
