Manhaul trip !






Hey everyone,

I've just got back from a week long manhaul trip to a part of the island that can't be accessed by ski-doo as there are too many crevasse's and the snow bridges that span them can't support the weight of a machine. My sledge weighed in at 102kg plus my rescue items on my harness that had to carried at all times! We managed to summit four of the peaks in that area, the first one 'Sighing Peak' has only ever had three parties on record that have topped her! We covered over 40 miles in the two towing days and I lost 5kg in all so happy days there!

I hope all's well with everyone back home and the sun has come out to play more than last year?

Bye for now,

Gray.

Howbiz Gra, nice pics, keep taking them. Anyway bud congrats on the weight loss, the other ladies down at weight watchers are spitting teeth. Your nephew/niece (its not mixed up it just hasn't been born yet, 1 week 2 go omg) will be very proud of you, we all are but your lack of beardage is slightly concerning (stay out of the wind and it'll grow back). Keep well li'l bra and we'll see you soon

Well done son!! You must be having the time of your life. We all miss you very much but we wish we were there with you, rather than the other way round. You're looking good - even without facial hair! Take care, and keep up the good work(?!?)
Love Dad
