Battling the winds
Ironically, the Foxes have spent the past couple of days battling strong winds although sadly these winds were not in the right direction to assist the kiting.  The current winds they are facing have been produced from the ice sheet and not the weather system.

The Met Office says this uncharacteristic weather is set to continue for the next week.

Live on BBC WM
Tomorrow morning the Foxes will be interviewed live on the BBC WM breakfast show from 8:30am.  If you are near Birmingham you can listen in on 95.6FM, or else visit the website to listen live via the internet.

If you miss the live broadcast you can listen again via the BBC's Radio Player.

All details for listening live or at a later date via the internet are available at:

ITV Meridian
The Foxes are being featured on ITV Meridian today (23rd May 2006) at 6.15pm.  Tune in to hear the interview and see footage direct from Greenland!

Podcast
Due to unforeseen problems it has not been possible to record the podcast today which means there will be a slight delay to the release of this weekly catch-up with the Foxes.  More information will follow.
