Captain Scott at the South Pole Fry's Cocoa & Chocolate Sledging party camping - the sleeping tent Camping for the night. Immediately on finishing a day's march the four members of the sledge team would unpack the sledge as quickly as possible. First the tent poles would be erected over the floor cloth, and the tent spread over them. Large lumps of snow were then dug up and placed round the skirting of the tent to weight it down.
