Simon saw the doctor at a hospital in Tasillaq yesterday and will obviously need ongoing treatment when he returns to the Channel Islands. It is believed to be ligament damage rather than a break.

This morning he and Steve caught a flight to Kulusuk from where they had hoped to catch a connecting flight on to Iceland. However, still dogged by bad luck, the weather again turned for the worse and all flights were grounded. This means they are now spending the night in Kulusuk and are hoping that weather conditions will have improved by tomorrow so they can finally begin the journey home.
