November 29th (yesterday)
-3 again last night, not what we wanted at all! More ice on top of the existing ice, no way could we even attempt to make a break. Really getting concerned now. Plenty of fresh water on board but never, have we ever, been in the situation with near full cassettes and nowhere to empty. Not even a convenient tree for hubby nearby without a bit of a trek. Will we have to resort to bucket and chuck it job? So hope not!! The only saving grace is the weather conditions are set to improve. No ice forecast for tonight and the temperature is already on the rise. Never have I been so glad to see the barometer record a temperature of 2.3.

We have to go tomorrow regardless of conditions. Fingers crossed we make it out.
And the Buzzard was back on the pylons today.

If my memory is accurate there are elsan disposal points at Brownhills and Longwood Junction.
The cassette issue notwithstanding, that snowy landscape looks wonderful!
I reckon peeing in a bucket and chucking it overboard is perfectly reasonable - after all, you'll be adding warm water to the cut and helping raise its temperature...
