Day #9: Telmen Lake to Chjargas Lake

05JUN13:

"We awoke to bright sunshine. Today has been another warm day, driving to another large lake – Lake Chjargas – and on arrival into tonight’s camp the wind was up well before sunset, and strong enough to blow down the large green marquee that the chefs stake out as their kitchen. Dinner will be at least half an hour late tonight. With the wind came the sand-storm, and for 15 minutes our nylon pop-up tents were pulling up their tent-pegs unaided and blowing down towards the water’s edge, we all looked like refugees after a battlefield, covered in a fine grimy dust, with sleeping bags and belongings blowing all over the site."
