Update
The Foxes walked 33km yesterday in some of the worst conditions they have had to face to date.  Snow storms meant a complete white-out with no sky, horizon or contrast visible.  Navigation was tested in these conditions but the Foxes persevered and are still on target.

Fortunately the strong winds forecasted appear not to be materialising so the Foxes will be able to push on this weekend.

The Foxes are in good health bar the odd ache and pain.

Monkey business
What helps keep the Foxes motivated is their walkmans.  Each Fox has loaded a 1Gb of their favourite tunes and listens to them as they walk.  Current favourites are Dido, talking books, and fittingly The Arctic Monkeys.  However, Rachel Fox and Jo Fox have suffered from flat batteries for the past two days and due to the poor weather they have been unable to recharge them from their solar charger.

Today the Foxes will be attempting to progress a further 30km which is expected to take 12 hours.
