well the warning was justified :
depart

a "fordable" river
gue

back to a bridge :

pont

this should be a path :chemin

a bit less rain :streameclaircie

drying a bit :gg
only thing that was easy to burn with all that rain was dead heather.

so as i said in another post rain 24/24 7/7 for 6 days, water everywhere !!!

reliable clothing is what kept us going in that condition :
BPL wool hoodie and icebreaker beast boxer, a micro fleece and a BPL cocoon vest,
rab drillium vest , ID event gaiters and reed pants were great,
my only problem is with 1,76m 76kg my L rab drillium is too slim cut for me to wear with anything more than a micro fleece and a sleeveless vest so i am searching for another event vest for Greenland this summer so i could bring my cocoon hoodie.

boots and xsocks were full of water from day 1.. but i appart from feet skin, no problem from that after 6 days

my mirage down bag stayed dry in my myog bug bivy under a kifaru paratipi so was more than adequate for nights all above 0°C.

no photos of them, as i only had my olympus 420 and a wide angle, but we never saw that many deers, et least 200 in 6 days.
