Day 4 - 3rd May 2006

Picture caption: ICE ROAD - the ice road constructed by VW winds from Point 660 to the ice sheet.  The Foxes had problems locating this road which meant they had to take a different route, causing problems to the equipment such as pulk breakages. Picture by Grant Sonne-Clifford.

Update
The Foxes are progressing well and managed to walk 30km yesterday in 12 hours.  The weather has dipped to the coldest thus far on the trip although this hasn't caused any problems.

The Foxes have noted that today was the first day that they actually felt hungry.  They have energy and nutrition bars provided by High 5 with them but the continuous physical exertion is finally beginning to show itself.

The pulks and traces are continuing to be cause for some concern but with gaffa tape, super glue and good team work they have surmounted each failing of the equipment and are still on target.

Foxcast goes live

Pictures from Greenland Foxy Friend
Thanks to Foxy Friend, Grant Sonne-Clifford, from Greenland who contacted Foxy HQ with the pictures which he's taken over the past few years while working in Greenland.  While we can't say they depict the terrain the Foxes are currently negotiating they do provide a nice insight into Greenland's topography.  Thanks Grant!
