Return of the Sun!

And our shadows were cast wherever we stood... Although we had to walk up a hill to see it, we were granted an audience with the Sun, at about 2 o'clock - the first glimpse for what seems like a long time. It came beaming at us through the gap between Stork Middle and Stork North, silhouetting Orca, and staying visible for about 20 mins. here's a few pictures -



The Sun poking it's way through a mountain gap, the skiidoo tracks of other Sun-hunters cheese-wiring the plateau.



Tris and Pete looking North from a peak on reptile. Looking directly at the sun!



Tris enjoying a bit of UV despite the cold. He'd just had his HF radio set out and we were listening to a chap from France - unfortunately Tris's little 5 watt set wasn't powerful enough to respond. very nice day out. rob
