2. First day of my fantastic journey! 12.1.12
05:00am
This morning I got out of my sleeping bag ......it's freezing
cold! I got dressed but I couldn't wash because my water had
frozen. I peeked out of the tent and the wind was about
70mph so I definitely know I'm going to use the kite-skis.
As soon as I got out of my tent a tunnel of ice had formed, and
some icicles like killer parsnips fell and nearly took my head
off, luckily I managed to dodge them!
When me and my partner got out of the tunnel, we just stood
there looking at the snowy mountains with ice like scales on
a fish.
I'll write to you later and let you know how many miles I
cover today.

3. Blizzard on my second day 1 2.1 .1 2
6:00Pm
You will not believe what happened to me
this afternoon it was so surprising and
worrying I nearly wet myself, it was a
blizzard I was just riding along on my
kite-skis and it came.The high pitch
scream nearly deafened me and the
monstrous wind knocked me of my feet like
someone had just thrown a bowling ball at
my ankles. I knew what I had to do so I
got of of my skis and got my spade out, I
dug a big hole so me and my partner could
fit in we dived in and covered ourselves up
we were safe. It was so scary but my tea
made it up to me, but I still have flash
back of the high pitch whine.
Miles travelled today-23
Temperature--28

4. Disaster has struck
1 4.1 .1 2
1 0pm
Disaster struck today! In the blizzard our bikes,kite and skis
all got blown away so we have to walk the rest of the way.The
problem was Niklas fell over and sprained his ankle, when the
rescue helicopter came he got flown over to England so I had
to carry on my own, I am quite worried and scared. I walked
about 2 miles then I came to a ravine so I didn't know what
to do, luckily I saw a video clip of Bear Gryls in this trouble.
So I used his tactics I slid down and dug my hands in and
climbed up the other side.I was back on track hooray. I am so
tired so I am going to go to bed now, I am extremely excited
about tomorrow because I will be on my last 20 miles, night.
Miles travelled today:24
Temperature today:-50
