We wake early at 6.30am to pack up our gear and then set the tables for breakfast. For breakfast we have a big bowl of porridge, lots of pancakes and maple syrup. We finally manage to get away at 9.00am. The weather is still really bad - I am wearing all my layers. On the unprotected summits the wind is blowing to 50 miles per hour, but most of the walk is protected by the trees.
We arrive at Zealand Hut for lunch - and have lovely fresh baked bread and turkey and vegetable soup which is really yummy. I eat two serves. The track to Ethan Pond follows an old railway so we make fast time and arrive at the lake around 5.30pm and camp on a tent platform next to the lake. There are moose in the area but we have yet to see one. The Barbarians also stay here in the shelter.
