15th May

Up quite late and cleared the snow off the tent. It took about 40 minutes to get the tent shipshape due to our sloppiness last night. Once that had been completed we sorted out our food cache and our rope work. Finally left base at 2pm on a short cache run.
Down and across the glacier with Murray leading - he disappeared into 2 crevasses, though not much further in that his thigh. We avoided a couple more, and I fell over because I forgot how to walk in crampons. Stopped and cached the supplies at 5:30pm - digging our freeze dried loveliness about 2 feet into the snow and returned to base camp. The return took about 3 hours, and we arrive at about 8:30.
2 brits just down from mount Hunter said hello and gave us a cuppa.
Cooked food (at least boiled the water and poured it into the food) had tea and boiled and melted water for the morning.
Now 10:30pm and writing this in bright daylight. Just about to turn in........hope to be up at 8 tomorrow to move camp to bottom of ski hill.
