\nWhat a beautiful first day of holiday! We dropped off our overnight kit at Sorling on the south end of Cumberland East Bay and then stayed on the boats and were dropped off at Corral with our day bags. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nFrom there we walked south along the coast back to Sorling which is about 7km. It took us a good amount of time even without 30kg rucksacks. We wore snow shoes until we had to down climb steep sections as there are 3 steep sided valley to traverse and two coves. The first cove is called Sadebugten and the ones after that seems to be un named. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nOne of the coves had a small number of penguins. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe reindeer tracks were handy for finding a route. (picture by Sam)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nEventually we dropped down onto Sorling Beach on the North side and made it to out overnight gear. Poor Tommy ended up falling into a stream and filling his boot up which we never got dry so he had frozen boots for the next 4 days. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe sky had only a small number of clouds and was brilliant blue which was very pleasant during the day but made for a cold night around -10 we recon. I set about melting snow for water while the guys dug a deep well through the snow to get to a stream. By the time we used the water from the nalgene bottle there was about 5mm of ice on the inside of the bottle!<\/p>\n
