Finally after weeks of waiting we got the all clear and were back on the plane praying that we wouldn't be turned around again. We had a lovely exit in the canteen from the Union Glacier staff ... Truely lovely people who will be missed. This picture is at Hercules inlet and we waved goodbye to the plane. 2 hours of skiing, pulling full sleds through soft snow was a good intro. Luckily i led and 'broke track' so had a great time skiing to point and paving the track way. Love it! Camp up, fed and watered its so wonderful to be back on trail .... A white one without shops this time. Blinkin fantastic! Oh and did i say, soft snow skiing up hill all the way! L.o.v.e i.t!!!

Leaving UG to fly to the start line at Hercules Inlet.
