Day 28 update
Yesterday the Foxes walked 38.5km in 13 hours.  Mostly they were walking uphill and battling sustrugi (hard packed snow dunes) which meant it was a tough day for the Foxes.

The Foxes have decided to walk until midnight at the latest now due to the rapid temperate drop which accompanies the setting of the sun (even though the sun never actually sets on the Foxes).

Increasingly, the Foxes are noticing they are feeling hungry regularly, even after eating.

Day 29 update
Yesterday the Foxes walked 42.2 km in 13.5 hours under glorious blues skies.  Still there is absolutely no wind but the Foxes have come to expect this.

However, today they are forecast some wind and, moreover, it is expected to be in the right direction which means, fingers crossed, they might have a chance to get their Flexifoil kites out for the first time other than in practice.
