Karl at Komsomolskiy
On Saturday 6th October Karl arrived at Komsomolskiy after walking the 474 km / 295 miles from his last waypoint at the Valinistiy mining camp. The track created for the mining trucks had been a lot better than expected and Karl had been able to maintain a reasonable pace, although carrying all his equipment and rations in a rucksack had given him some testing times. He has now moved up to Pevek to pick up supplies that he’d sent ahead. Just at the moment there is some confusion as to the run out date on Karl’s permits, however hopefully this will be sorted out within a week. The weather had been very good for the last leg but had got progressively colder. It is now snowing, which is exactly what Karl wants as he is going to build a sled for his equipment and the next 500 km leg to Bilibino. To get a flavour of the walk please check out the ‘Latest Photos‘ page on Karl’s website.
