DAY 25:
26km skied today. Almost 510km in total.
A “Sassy” day having to manoeuvre around the large sastrugi.
G had the lush task of having to redo B’s plaits (note how long they haven’t showered for) & both of them are craving fresh food.

Tough 10 hour day on challenging terrain with loaded pulks and warm weather, making managing layers difficult, and also sticky snow so you end up on stilts!
Becky is on the mend and we hope she will be ready to join us up in the mountains🤞

Happy International Womens Day!
It started early 1900's, when women's oppression & inequality was spurring women to become more vocal & active in campaigning for change.

When a journey ends, we become defined by the decisions we made and the

we forged.
We've always aspired to be positive visible role models both as
