May 13 2010

So it's now approaching summer (not that you can tell from the english weather) and i'm surprised how fast time is passing by. All this years polar explorers are back at home after a few successful attempts including Dam and Amelia - congratulations to them for their unsupported, unresupplied trip to geographic North Pole and to previous team mates Lou and Ness on their successful last degree trip.
The ice is now melting fast, Ice camp Barneo has been dissassembled for another year and now everyone is off the ice it is the time for expedition logistics, planning and most importantly fundraising.

Due to the decrease in team mates we have more cash to find and as always this is a tough job so if anyone knows any companies who are keen to get behind us and support us along with our other great supporters please let me know!

Basic Fitness is ongoing - not quite the crazy training schedule yet for example my tyre-pulling is on hold till later in the year! however, i've been out running a bit and have the windsor half marathon in september which i think we are going to run as a team and in addition am trying to arrange a 3 peaks challenge as all these events help whilst also being a bit of a more sociable way to train.

Another Ice Warrior meeting is planned this saturday so hoepfully more news will follow! x
