Update
It has been a tough couple of days for the Foxes. They were unable to find the Ice Road - originally built a few years ago by a car company to test their cars - so they had to make their own way up the ice sheet. Two days of slogging through rough ice took its toll on their pulks; Jo's broke yesterday and the lines have been constantly breaking too. Nonetheless, persevere they did and with the aid of some gaffa tape they fixed Jo's pulk. Despite all this, and stumbling across crevasses, they're on target.

Spirits were raised yesterday when they finally reached the edge of the ice sheet which meant an end to the rough ice and crevasses and the beginning of the ice sheet.

Foxcast
Rachel has just completed the girls first podcast. While sitting in their tent on the Greenland ice sheet they were interviewed by The Sun. The podcast is due for broadcast later this week. Watch this space for more information.

Sun, no Sun?
To everyone who went out and bought The Sun newspaper yesterday expecting to find the Foxes (or The Ice Babes as The Sun is calling them) on page 3, we can only apologise. Foxy HQ has just been told the article was pulled until a firm date on the podcast is known. The story is due for publication in the next couple of days. We'll keep you posted.
