Wednesday 7th April

Last night was very cold, down to -40. The team woke up to clear skies with a slight NE wind and the temp -25.

For safety reasons the team set up camp earlier today at 15.30 as a couple of the team had some cold weather injuries which needed some attention (Richard didn't say who or what the injuries were!).

There is a severe lack of snow in the area they are in so trying to rehydrate is tricky as there is a high salt content in the water they are consuming, it also means they are using ice screws every night to pitch the tents, which isn't a problem its makes putting the tent up and down a bit slower.

Richard didn't give me the distant they covered but hopefully they will have an easier day today and I will update in the morning with their progress.
