Speed record attempt in motion
Sunday, September 4, 2011 at 4:59PM Instead of a very wordy account of my recent expedition across the Greenland icecap with my team-mate, Wilki, we've used our hastily filmed footage to put together an eleven minute video for you to enjoy. Hopefully it illustrates the very challenging conditions which were, at times, extremely dangerous as well as frustrating - pushing the 8 day 9 hour record from our grasp. The lack of sleep was also a major factor and I'm sure you can tell this from some of my commentary!
Thanks to all those who sent us messages of support to our tent - you wouldn't believe how motivating they are after a day of 15 hours hauling, covering upwards of thirty or forty miles.
Anyhow, here it is!

WHAT EXCEPTIONAL FELLOWS YOU BOTH ARE! SUCH MOTIVATION AND FORTITUDE TO ENDURE SUCH TRAVISTIES AND STILL CONTINUE ON! YOU ARE BOTH HEROES INDEED! I'VE ENJOYED YOUR POLAR EXPEDITION SO MUCH! I'M SENDING IT ON TO OTHERS I KNOW. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH.
...I wondered why the surface of the crevassefield is mostly grey? Besides you made a fine job! Tanx
