Arrival

Out at Constable Point now. Two days digging out the Weather Haven and containers. There was a lot of snow over the doorway and we built a tunnel down to it with a roof made out of pallets. This is an improvement as it will protect the door from spindrift. The door opens outwards and if it blows and you are inside you can’t get out. Hopefully the protecting tunnel will stop this.

Our camp just before starting to dig

The doorway to the container took a bit of digging

 Still got mountains of kit to sort out and we have to see if the skiddoos still work.

Pulling out the skidoos

Here's a good one. We are currently living in the ‘Hilton” a building which they are renovating - again. Nothing works, but they have just installed some incinerator toilets. Last night, the first time it was used it nearly caught fire so they had to quickly shut it down again before we were all burnt in our beds. You can't escape because you just go out into a snow storm! Who says fires don't start in toilets??

The only working toilet in the place has just run out of plastic an hour ago, so we will have an interesting evening tonight.

Incinerator toilet - incinerated itself!
