To all,

I have made an account of the past few months for you. I hope it will make for an equally exciting read as the journey I am experiencing.

---TURN 1----

Week 1: I found a telescope this week, it must have been left behind by a previous expedition. It was a rather ornate, gold and silver plated telescope. It has made life much easier, especially with finally reaching my end goal of finding the mystical golden woldy; an artefact that is only heard about in legends, containing all the power in the world, for who ever wields the golden woldy, controls the world, or so the legend goes.

Week 2: I encountered a savage, wild husky last week. It looked weak, unable to fight. I decided it would be on my conscience if I let it die, so I slowly fed it back to health. It now follows me everywhere and I have decided to teach it at least some manners. Yesterday I managed to get it to sit. I've found it useful for warmth at night. A companion in this harsh environment is a comfort.

---TURN 3---

Week 3: I decided to back track this week since I saw another group take the region I was going to take for king and country. On my way back I found another telescope. I figured a telescope company had in fact decided to take a short cut around the globe in order to sell their telescopes for less. They must have dropped some in order to reduce the weight on their backs. Alas, I assume they must have died in the blizzards of this hostile continent.

---TURN 4---

Week 4: After back tracking a couple of hundred kilometres I've finally reached the region's peak. I planted the company flag and found a shelter under a overhang where I could pitch a tent. James Cook snored all night. At least I was warm though. I plan on moving south again in my search of the Golden Woldy.
