Greenlandic Settlements

Since leaving Tasiilaq we have paddled along the fjord network that lies to the north. The highlights so far have been spotting humpback whales, sunny settled weather and spectacular icebergs. The weather has even been warm enough for a short evening swim.

Tasiilaq Campsite

This is a slightly scruffy site located between the helipad and the rubbish tip. However, across the water towards the peaks of Angmagssalik island are amazing. We will stay here for one night. Tomorrow we will sort kit, pack our kayaks and head off.

Blog updates will be sporadic from now on as we do not know how much mobile Internet access we wil have along the way.

Arrived!

We have just arrived in a cold and blustery Kuluk.

Warm clothes have been pulled on as we wait for our boat transfer to Tasiilaq.

Meet The Team # 8 - Jules

Jules is Dave's wife.



Having recently retired as chair of Shetland Canoe Club, she still plays a key role regularly helping with paddling sessions.

Meet The Team # 7 Dave

Dave has also travelled from Shetland where he works as a coastguard.

Meet The Team # 6 - Martin

Martin has arrived in Iceland following a long journey from his home in Shetland.




He brought good news that the supply ship has arrived at Tasiilaq. It's like Christmas for the locals because this is the first fresh supplies since last October. This also means that my kayak has arrived.

Meet Team # 5 - John

John's birthday was yesterday and we celebrated at the house of Stephanie's friends Dora and Hurdor.



John normally spends his time trying to go fast keeping fit and training for races so he is looking forward to slowing it down a bit and enjoying the scenery.
