| Hi there little Niece:
Have you ever heard of the "Day Spa"! Yes, it''s one of those amazing places where they charge you lots of money to be plunged into freezing water that is soooooo vey good for the circulation (and complexion). At least it would have given your team mates a break from having to create you your own special Day Spa in the middle of the frozen north. I think you owe them at least a facial to repair those wonderful suntans you must all be sporting now!!
Lots of love, FAC xxxx |

| Foxy Jen,
An utterly excellent achievement...across the whole of Greenland and back without a single cream bun in sight...I''m enormously impressed. It makes crossing The Sea of Dreams on El Cap look like a vicarage tea party!
See you in the Peak sometime for *more* dicing with death. i salute you all!
smiles,

I have been wearing my foxy t-shirt lots and telling all the Antipodians about what you guys are doing.
I must have got soft living down here as I am complaining about the cold a lot this winter however, I am thinking of you guys out there in the real cold on the ice cap. Keep it up as you are doing really well.

You are covering some really impressive distances day after day! |

| James and Jane from London |
30/05/2006 |
| The toughest ******* I know! Massively impressed and much more so as the weather is against you. This is an expedition of endurance, no glory and no record but maximum respect and admiration from all that hear your story. Well ******* done. Sorry for using expletives but what you are doing requires words outside etiquette. |

30/05/2006 |
| Hello Rachel. Glad to see that your great muscle building expedition is going extremely well. Listen, if you really wanted to beat me and Stella at arm wrestling, the gym would have sufficed. Mini-Foxy Friend Milo sends his love and is constantly looking out for you on Pingu. I haven't the heart to tell him he's got his arctics mixed up. Or has he? I'm not sure myself now. Bring back some of their famous Glacier Mint's to prove you've been.
Hoping you're all safe and well. You should all be very proud of yourselves.
Lots of love Charlie and Milo xxxx |

| Hi, Girls,
Congrats with your succes.. I just want to tell you that the depot (the north face duffle) which you places at p.660 upon departure is safely places in the old camp for you.. I was forced to pick it up 9 days ago as the melting water had taken it downstreams...It was lying in a very big sea of icecold water..so I am not sure whether the video still works..it was all soaking wet.. but it is here now...and we (I am) are waiting for your arrival..
Hugs

| Hi there Crazy Ladies - I knew you should have taken my kitty kats with you to keep your little tootsies warm at night! I am sure you are all dreaming of luxuriating in the biggest, longest, hottest bath England has to offer - perhaps you can set another world record of how long the 4 all British, all female team can stay in a bath together!!! Seriously, we all know you are going to get back in time to connect with your flight - if not they had better just hold that darn flight up for you!! Keep focused, keep up your spirits and know we all are very proud of the way you are handling your return trip. Lots of love to everyone, take care. Auntie C xxx |

| Hi there Arctic Foxes! This just a message to wish you well from all at OE magazine which Felicity writes for. I am currently ghost writing a book for a Channel Four Survival Series......which seems a bit strange as I'm comfortably sitting here in my breezy eerie writing all about the intricacies of digging a snow cave while you're all out there doing it for real. I feel like I need a refresher course...good luck with the remainder of the expedition! |

| Hi Jen, It's good to see you're still going strong despite the cold and lack of wind. I was thinking of you while I was on hoilday in Tunisa, soaking up the sun, while you girls are pushing yourselves physically and mentally in such cold conditions. Maybe you should treat yourself to a beach holiday when you get home, and show off your toned legs!! Well done girls. Keep going. m xxx |

| Carol (FAC) from Mosman Downunder |
24/05/2006 |
| Hi there Foxies - by now you are on the trek back and we are keeping fingers and toes and anything else the ambidexterous amongst us can cross - for lots of good winds blowing in the right direction. Knowing you four (or at least one of you well) I am sure you will be using the return leg and those intimate nights in your tent, planning a bigger and better attack next year!!!
Oh no you say - I've heard that before from Jo when she swore never to do another marathon!!
I know it's disappointing that the wind gods didn't get your message but heh - you could be sitting in an office!!!
Lots of love - take care, looking forward to more podcasts and news. FAC xxx |

| Well done ladies, and congratulations on your crossing! I'm dead jealous -- I'd loved to have achieved something similar but like Jo the old knee keeps playing up, so I guess talking about it with her Dad and Mum will have to do for me. |

| Wow... favourite Little Niece, Felicity, Jenny and Rachel - how proud am I. Well done you awesome foursome. I have just got out of my snuggly warm bed into the freezing cold night (around 18 degres celsius) to send you a "fantastic--ally well done, amazing feat, incredibly proud" message from Favourite Auntie C from downunder. Was talking to Big Max earlier to see if they had heard, and then found out a little later this evening, that you had made it! I have been "yippieing" around the apartment - too late to ring up all my friends - so poor Rumbeau and Daisie have borne the brunt of my excitement. Going back to my snug doona now with the biggest smile from ear to ear all over my face. Now for the big monster feast, lots of rest, get those feet, gear and bodies back into shape to really show everyone what stuff you are made of. Go Foxieesss - lots and lots of love, FAC xxx |

| A true bunch of British fighters. Your progress is ever impressive, am pretty amused with all the damage you're causing though. I guess your equipment will be worthless by the time you get back so there will be no profits on ebay! Oh well, at least you can come back with a record under your belt, pretty priceless....rock and roll girls. xxx |

But just spent four days with Tim, Si and Iain in Bordeaux at vineyard. You would have loved it. And all the time I was trying the local produce (ahem) I was thinking how much you would have enjoyed it. When you complete your amazing trip we shall have to go. Love you lots. Keep trekking. Rx |

| Rachel - a treat to hear your voice on the podcast. I thought I had to buy a MP3 player to hear it, not just borrow some speakers, what a fool! Thinking of you every day, I don't let myself complain when I'm pushing the buggy up the hill because I'm just glad Milo doesn't weigh 50 kilos. I hope your speaker charger is working again. Very proud of you all!. Much love Stella.x |

| Hello! This message is for Rachel Pearson. My name is Sharon S. I am from Toronto, Canada. I work with a gentleman name Nick. While on the subway with him, I noticed his Arctic Foxes pin, and enquired what it was about (thinking it had something to do with the Mozilla Firefox search engine). Nick was so delighted that someone finally noticed the pin, and went into great explanation talking about his friend in London who is going on a journey to cross the Greenland ice-cap!!! He also noted I should write you an e-mail, and check out this website.
Hence, I have followed through with my promise.
Congratulations, and best of luck!
Warm Wishes,
Sharon S

Although we are obviously hugely excited about your rendez-vous, I must admit that my cheers have been a softened slightly once I found out your dirty little secret to "smash the record" held by Canadian ladies. Don't smash it too badly - obscure winter sports are all that we have over here....loads of love and a big wiggle too... R & N |

Hope things are going well. Jo, Take That were amazing! Within seconds I knew it was worth the trip to Birmingham!

| Hey chunky and the other spunkies. What's the contingency plan for a polar bear surprise during midnight toilet trips out into the frozen night? Do you radio back for assistance (given your hands are full)? Drop your bundle and run? Lay a paper trail on the way out so you can find your way back? Or stay inside the tent and hold till morn?
I am so excited for you and cant wait to follow you online. Cheers, Andy |

Thanks for your email. I am not at all surprised that you are undertaking something this huge and exciting - well done, you will be in my thoughts and I can't wait to hear more. Maybe you could stop off in Melbourne when The Foxes attempt something in The Antarctic?? We would love to see you.
Lots of love and luck for a successful journey
