We had a practice session on a frozen lake today. This was a chance to try out getting our gear out of the sled and setting up the sleeping bag and bivvi bag to sleep out on the ice. it was also a chance to try cooking etc in real conditions. Unfortunately the weather was against us it was too warm. The temperature was about minus 10C so it was not a very severe test, it was still flipping cold. On the way back, as night fell, the temperature did drop to about minus 15C but with all the kit on it felt quite warm.
Tomorrow we load the sleds up on the truck and start the trip to Dawson. I am now starting to get fed up with all the hanging around, I just want to get started. I am looking forward to the trip to Dawson (about a five hour drive) we should see some great scenery.
