Fire in the Hole!

We've been moving loads of kit around between the containers to make room to organise things. All the summer boating stuff had to be moved to the end container which was 6 feet under rock hard snow, so the only way to dig down was for me to use the chain saw to cut blocks and move them out by hand.

We now have all the Doos out of the containers, but they are in a bit of a sorry state from last season. All have flat batteries which need to be replaced, many of the track wheels have broken bearings and some are missing. Some shock absorbers are broken and to cap it all, there was a can of contaminated fuel of which I put about a pint into a doo before I noticed. We need to flush out the tank and order some more wheels and bearings before we move anywhere.

Clair and Paul fitting a new shock absorber. It was just after this that we discovered several broken wheel bearings

The incinerator toilet is now working and the Hilton hasn't burnt down yet. It sucks it down and burns everything just a few inches below the seat - scary. I think I preferred the plastic bag in a bucket.

Fire in the Hole!
