AMUNDSEN TEAM
Distance to the Pole: 641 nmi
LISTEN TO THE AUDIO REPORT
In Association with the Royal British Legion
Lou Rudd reports for the Amundsen team today, on a day of conditions in stark contrast to yesterday’s. Bright sun, warm temperatures (relatively speaking) and no wind whatsoever, all attributed to the team’s best day yet of travel. Henry and Lou clocked an excellent 7.4 nautical miles as they finally begin to build up momentum. Keep it up chaps!
We also get a rather personal insight into some of the more “intimate” hazards of trekking through the Antarctic. It’s a lesson to all us fellows to keep a hat handy in cold weather.

SCOTT TEAM
Distance to the Pole: 699 nmi
LISTEN TO THE AUDIO REPORT
Today’s Scott team report comes from team leader Mark Langridge, with high winds blustering all around. A brief message today but filled with the characteristic Scott team optimism and high morale that we’re all getting used to. The guys clock up 9.23 nautical miles, just 0.4 short of their team best, an excellent result given the relatively steep ascent from 98 to 225ft above sea level. Good work guys, keep it up.
