Day: FIVE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\"\"\"\"Scellig did not like this particular section also.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 
\nHad to make the decision early in the day to chance sticking close to coastline and hopefully find a way through the broken ice or find a way further out.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

With the full on white out conditions decided to stick close to the shore.
\nFortunately was able to get through.<\/p>\n

 
\n\"\"Some time and energy lost travelling through the broken sections but safer.
\nToday was probably one of the least desirable conditions to travel by foot pulling an all inclusive house,food, fuel and other life’s essentials.
\n\"\"Snowing all day, minus 5, sticky snow,headwind, poor visibility.<\/p>\n

The things we do for fun!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Found a slightly exposed and windy campsite near the coastline but on the ice among the rubble.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Best option I could find at 6pm.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Let’s see what tomorrow will bring.
