Update
The past couple of days have continued to test the Foxes as they contended with inclement conditions.  Blowing snow and white-outs were common but still they pushed on completing 31km on Saturday and 33km Sunday.

The weather is improving but incredibly it is improving too much!  The forecast is for +4 degrees today and tomorrow which will make walking hard due to the heat and also results in slushy conditions under foot.

Thanks go to the Met Office for their daily help in forecasting the conditions which the Foxes will be experiencing.

The Foxes nutrition is holding up well and giving them the energy to push on.

The Foxes hope to cover a record 45km today.

Podcast
The next instalment of the Foxy podcast is being recorded tomorrow morning and will be live from Wednesday.
