Job description: Stay in one place, awake and alert, for the next 11-and-a-half hours to film something that may or may not occur.

Having lost the wolves again and there still not being any sign of pups or mother at the den, it was mooted that the "shape" of the programme might have to alter slightly.

Just as easily as they had vanished some seven-and-a-half days earlier, the wolves suddenly reappeared, apparently without a care in the world.

There was now real concern in the BBC camp regarding the wolves. They'd been gone for seven whole days and the majority of the crew felt that they were not necessarily coming back.

It was my turn to explore the outlying areas, and this time I thought I'd go north to try to get a view over the low-lying plains to the other side where another fiord comes in.

It was Jonny's day to do a bit of exploring and increase our knowledge of the locality, so he followed our tracks east.

As the wolves were still away hunting - it had been 72 hours now - cameraman Mark was eager to capture the other bits of footage which will make up the whole story.

We all agreed that the more we knew about the whole area, the better we would be at trying to capture some of the film sequences that were required.

My duties now were all about supporting the crew as much as they needed: In short, chief bottle washer, cook and camp nag!
