Sarah's version

Think steves blog makes it all seem a bit like a walk in the park..... Don't think I have ever been quite so exhausted in my life- or as cold. For 4 nights I have gone to bed wearing the same clothes as I have worn all day, plus a down sleeping bag and a quilt or two. (Merino wool top is amazing as it doesn't smell despite being worn continuously 24 hours a day for 6 days- or maybe I have just now got immune!). But am still cold! But hardly surprising when snow comes in through the cracks in the walls and the temperature inside is still around minus 10. It really does make you appreciate all the luxuries we have that we just take for granted most of the time. N0 water for washing because everything is frozen over and toilet facilities somewhat challenging- especially for girls........ Despite this it is all worth it as we are having some amazing experiences. Crossing

 the high pass felt like an amazing achievement. But am looking forward to warming up a bit!
