Torres del Paine (Chi.) to El Calafate (Arg.). 8/02 - 10/02 : Broken



220km of nothing but wind, ripio and steppe! Everything was broken; wheels, panniers, racks, spirits, asses. Lunch was such a treat.



Note, sheltering behind the bush.







However the wind wasn´t all bad. It pushed us uphill for 24 miles in 40 mins.






After 2 days, and reduced to managing 10 miles in 2 hours, we could take no more and hitched the final 45 miles in to El Calafate. Even then waiting for 2 hours in gale force winds was pretty extreme!
