14 days to go and counting…! This week the final items of equipment arrived in the post, including a satellite phone from G-Comm and the tent floor insulation underlay from Multimat.
The I.T. has been sorted and we are now able to post blog messages with the satellite phone, as well as receive emails from the web-site on the satellite phone .
The tent flysheet has been modified with extra large snow valances sewn onto it to help prevent the tent from being blown away by the katabatic and pittarak winds!
Chris went shopping for his favourite snacks this week and we now have hundreds of tracker bars and fingers of shortbread in the house! Training is ramping down, which is helping the team to put on weight and Rachel is still managing to put on 1kg a week!
