Day 13: 12/13 June

Tent bound with lots of cloud and and several cm of snow, but a chance to read some books and sort the food out.

Day 14: 13/14 June

Our final sledge pulling day. We crossed some monster crevasses and had an unexpectedly warm welcome into the Gunnsbjerg Fjeld Base Camp.

Day 15: 14/15 June

Rest, sleep and more rest as the cloud, wind and snow came back.

 

Day 16: 15/16 June

Yoshi and the crew depart and we have the first wash in 16 days, freeze dried clothes are fun!

 

Day 17:16/17 June

Gunnsbjerg Fjeld summit day, 9 hours up 2 hours down! A fitting climax to the trip in perfect weather. We were able to see most of the route we had travelled and it was wonderful to be on the roof of the Arctic.

Day 18: 17/18 June

Pick and return to Rigyns Berg,pick up the others and then head home via Constable Pynt.
