Hi everyone. I’m on day 5. All good so far, still have good visibility which is great although I did feel like I was climbing up a never-ending hill for 9 hours. I was listening to music for most of the day and just daydreaming. Today I was thinking about my journey to this point, the fact that I had this idea 2 and a half years ago when I knew absolutely nothing about the polar world. I created the name Polar Preet 2 years ago, my partner created my website, it was really hard getting support at the start which is why I’m so grateful that I have it now. I spent so much money, all of my money plus my life savings on a lot of the training and all my leave on the training and it was really tough at times but it was all worth it because I’m actually here now. You would be amazed at what you can achieve if you believe in yourself.
Hi everyone, just checking in for day 3. Still feeling good, its getting winder now and I find myself gripping tightly onto my items. The last thing I want is anything to get blown away by the wind, like my down jacket that I put on every time I stop for a break. I dont stop for more than 10 minutes at a time as it just gets cold. The tent also takes a little bit longer to put up in the wind and as soon as I’m in the tent its time for my admin. Melting snow so I can have water and cook my food, doing my daily check-in calls, any personal and kit admin and go to sleep.
