Ordinary Men Doing Extraordinary Things - North Pole Expedition 2012

We're on the move again

Posted on 10 April 2012 09:46

We’re on the move again………

Hi Everyone.

So we stayed in the tents all day on day 4. Visibility and weather just too bad. Waking up the next morning – we were covered in ice and snow and had to chisel ourselves out of the tents.

Whilst it was really tough just staying put and waiting – it absolutely was the best thing to do as the ground ice had then firmed up and was perfect for trekking.

The start of the day was quite tough – getting over the newly formed ice etc. However, we did 10 miles yesterday and we’re feeling good!

Hopefully, we crack another 10 miles today and then we should be just 5 miles from our goal! Talk to you soon

Six Ordinary Men

Brian, Alex, Andrew, Paul, Nigel and John

Wow - what a fantastic effort. Best of all it seems that you are enjoying hte approach with some (cold I guess but) great weather. It seemed like you were all feeling a bit down with things but this latest blog sounds really up beat! Savour the experience - trecking to Base Camp of Everest mades me wish I had taken more time to look around and take it all in. You will only be there once, savour every single moment. Best of luck for the final push to the top of the world ! RTO&A;
