Day 9: Modern technology meant that we were prepared for the day of constant rain that lay ahead. The Garmin InReach gave us a fairly accurate forecast every day and today’s was to be the complete opposite of the last eight days! Rain from beginning to end. Forecasts have been known to be very wrong and we hoped this was, but no, it was as accurate as the other days had been. Rain it did, all day.

The guide book said that, although this was the last day the scenery was worth taking your time over as most people rush through this last day eager to finish after nine days on the trail… well there was very little scenery to be seen as the cloud blanketed all the mountains above 500m. So like most people I put my head down and covered the 20km in just over five hours, without any breaks! I’m not going to complain, as we’ve had exceptional weather, for this time of year. Hopefully we’ll get to see some of the scenery looking back from Sisimuit during our stay.

The hotel is excellent, good beer and food… it is nice to eat fresh food again. The rehydrated food we have been eating was very good, in fact, far better than it ever used to be, but Reindeer Stew from a vacuum packed bag bares no comparison to the rare Reindeer steak that I ate in the hotel restaurant!

A successful walk, where next???
