Another Week and More Experiences



Here out at Woop Woop I have spent the last three days in Isolation.
It is up on the Plateau and was reasonably difficult to get to and is the location of the summer skiway. The Groomer is a monster and there are lot of fuel drums and a hut

This is the infamous Sprunky Van named after its maker. It was very cosey when three of us were stuck in it during a blizzard. You can see the Hagglands Blizzed in to the right. It has a radar ontop of it and the skidoo is on its right.

Here I am after the blizzard in the true Antarctica which goes on for 4000 kilometers behind me, all exactly the same on the Plateau. You can also see what happens when blizz gets into your skidoo and what the task of getting it all out before starting work for the day must involve. A lot of hands in cold snow to get the Blizz out of the engine bay to start. We were all picked up after the day of the blizzard via helicopter and returned to the base in time for the Saturday Night Dinner!
