Day 6: 3rd November
A fantastic day for training. There was a rare break from the mist and rain and we were greeted with sunshine and fresh snow. We woke refreshed for a day of distance walking.
Packing up the tent proved problematic as we found all the guy ropes and straps frozen solid. Trying to release them, whilst wearing giant gloves was challenging - a great test for Antarctic conditions. Finally we were underway and making a good pace across the plateau.

We were greeted half way by our Norwegian guide. There was more snow on the trail ahead so we would be able to use our pulks. We trotted along in good spirits, taking time to look at the local herds of reindeer that were wandering across our path. The conditions were so good we arrived early at our camp site, in time to enjoy the scenery before dark.
