"sept : 4 : base camp : 0.00 kms Turned out at 600 am for another day of preparations ,located a spirit cooker today, after testing it proved to be a very efficient unit - should hold us in good stead - we ordered 2 more to be picked up on weds, we shall have three - Watters insists on this - he says it would be a folly to scimp on the cooking department and I tend to believe the fellow. I find myself admiring Watters for his tenacity and good spirits. 6 sleeps to go."
