| 01 June 2006 Wednesday 31st This is just a quick call to say we did 34.9 km today, leaving only 65km to go. Where the land was flat we find it going up and down more. Patricia, my mum, managed to sort out two of the three stages of our flights. All six of us are booked from Kangerlussuaq to Kusuluk for the 7th June, less than a week away, and then on to Reykjavik leaving Kusuluk at 14.30 on the 7th. We shall be staying overnight in the youth hostel we stayed in on our way here. Love to all our families and friends, Anna and Co, 7.45 pm here on Wednesday, 31st May, 2006 Thursday 1 June This is just a short postscript to last night's short report. Our satellite phone is damaged. Fortunately, we will be down within five days. We have our radio and beacon, so no worries. The Bootless Brigadier (Anna) And finally, for interest... Vesa Luomala, one of the two Finns who recently crossed the ice, leaves a useful message for the team (on this site's messageboard) - to help them with the last part of their journey. Co-ordinates we used for glacier exit Just in case the team wants to check with their own coordinates, I'll send here the co-ordinates we used for exit route on 13th-15th of May. Anna mentioned they think there will be some glacier lakes. Yes there are, a lot, already three weeks ago! The co-ordinates:
