Carol (FAC) from Mosman, Sydney 05/06/2006
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


ASTON FAMILY from HILDENBOROUGH 04/06/2006
Our biggest warmest huggiest congratulations to you all. What an achievement. To cross the icecap not once but twice. No one, no one will want to beat that record. Look forward to seeing you all home safe and sound on Monday. Until then all our love.


Rob from Tonbridge 04/06/2006
Hi Jo and all the team. Nearly there or hopefully there now and you will be pleased to know that it is finally warming up here! I am in ore of what you have done and glad Jo survived her dip in the water. Take care, Rob x


Katie & Aner from Tel Aviv 04/06/2006
By the time you get this you should be safely on your way home or maybe even home. Rach I am so happy to hear your babbling brook from the frozen wastes and I can''t wait to see your glamour modelling shots on your return. Lots of love and congrats to you all xxxx

Hello sister, thought it was about time i got my act together and send yu a message as after all, yu''ve trecked across the greenland icecap, so iv trecked in to the office to say im so proud of yu. Im a bit dissapointed that yu girls were too ''girly'' to use the kites! Everyone bac at home has been listening to your pod cast''s and it has sored straight to number one in the charts. Congratulations to yu all.... Spence kisses.


Lorna from Exeter 04/06/2006
Hi Guys, sorry the weather didn''t allow you to make an attempt on the fastest crossing. We''ll try and organise some better conditions for you next time! That aside, we''re all extremely proud of you and what you have achieved!

Guy from Adventure First Aid 04/06/2006

Sally and Doug from Christchurch N.Z. 03/06/2006

Love from the N.Z. Martins


claire from st albans 02/06/2006
Jo, trust your gammy feet to play up again! I knew your feet where dodgie when you had to vaseline them up every night in Namibia. I''m sorry that your fellow foxes too had have to endure the sight of your not so pretty feet!!! Only one more day to go. Keep your peckers up as my Granny Grace would say. C xx


Rhona and Kristjan from London and Reykjavik 02/06/2006
Just heard your latest podcast on the lab computer. You sounded very chipper Rachel and hungry as usual - remember all those delicious meals in Mexico - a meal awaits you on your return. Best of luck for the final furlong. Love and best wishes to all the foxes. Rhona and Kristjan


The two grizzlies from Ashcombe 02/06/2006
Fantastic effort Foxes, as far as were concerned you''ve broken every record in the book, can''t wait to see you. Good luck for the last push. Lots of love from the two bears.xx


Emily from London 02/06/2006

Kate Mages from London 01/06/2006
Hi Jo and the other Foxes, Well done for walking 57km in one day I can''t even imagine how anyone can manage that! Jo, lucky you haven''t been eating lentils and bran flakes or I reckon you would be carrying lots of pooey tissues around with you!! Ha ha! looking forward to seeing you again once you have done all you press engagements. Love Kate


Jane from London 01/06/2006
Well done Rachel (and all you other foxy ladies). I''ve just heard the podcast. I hope you don''t have to swim for your rations on the way home. Can''t wait to see you on TV. I''m sure you will all look super foxy despite the lack of sleep and general knackerdness. Love from Jane, Richard and Billy.


Tom from The Vikings 01/06/2006
Awesome work Miss Pugh et al. Keep it up and well done. Tom and Katie

Go Rach and the foxy ladies! Sending you big love and support, am thinking of you all.


Amy from London 31/05/2006
You ladies are doing fantastically well and I''m really enjoying hearing all about it. I almost feel like I''m there myself.Or that the Arctic has come to the UK. xx


Jojo Stead from Brisvegas 30/05/2006
Hello Jo and foxy ladies, 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. Jojo x


Morten Lindholm from Kangerlussuaq 30/05/2006
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 Morten, Old camp Guide


Charlie from Brighton 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


Luke from Bedford, England 30/05/2006
Keep going Foxes. All that training means that Jen doesn't need a kite anyway. 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.


Guy from Adventure First Aid 29/05/2006
Hi foxes... glad Jen is OK after foxy flight... take care and no more bar games of see who can fly the furthest... save it for when you next come to Devon! Guyx


Nick from San Francisco 29/05/2006
Hi Foxes, Sounds like you guys are making amazing progress in the face of adversity - seriously, no wind? What's that all about? Can't wait to hear the next podcast and speak to you when you get back. Thinking of you all. Nick


Carol from Mosman, Australia 28/05/2006
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


Stella from Brighton 27/05/2006
You ladies should have been sponsored by the makers of gaffer tape! Glad to hear you sounding so positive and happy on the podcast. I hope you get some wind soon. Good luck all of you, and love to Rachel. Stella.x

Lian from New York 27/05/2006
You guys are crazy, in the best possible way. Keep going.


Claire from St Albans 26/05/2006
Hi Jo & fellow Foxes. Hope the blister popping sess was fun! Jo, having seen the state of your feet in Africa, I can imagine that they are in one hell of a state now! I just wanted to let you know that Toby & I completed on the house today. Officially moving in tomorrow. It's our last night with Mr & Mrs S tonight! C xx


Richard Madden from Lewes 26/05/2006
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!


Fred from Kent 26/05/2006
Go girls, thinking of you and hoping for more wind to speed you along the way! There is plenty in Kent at present. Enjoy and take care. x x x


Rhianon Williams from London 25/05/2006
Hi Rachel Well not only are you a record breaker but you are also a 'stunning looking' record breaker. As before I'm wishing you all the very best, mum tells me that her office crowd are tuning in and keeping up to date with your trek. Can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks. Bye for now, love & hugs to you all, Rhi x


Emma Warren from Reading 25/05/2006
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


Rhona and Kristjan from London and Reykjavik 24/05/2006
Despite the lack of wind - we've plenty of it here - we're hoping that you'll have a swift return to base. Good luck to Rachel and all of you, it is great to keep up with you via your websites, e-mails, podcasts. What a team. Love Rhoey and Kristjan.


Katie & Aner from Tel Aviv 24/05/2006
Rachel you are always beautiful to us, wherever you are. May the winds be with you xx


Captain Sean Chapple FRGS RM from Lympstone 24/05/2006
Hi All, I am now back in the UK with fingers and toes all intact! Great to see your progress and hope to meet up on your return, maybe you would like a visit to the Commando Training Centre (without having to do the endurance course!). Good effort team, happy kiting


Emma from Bournemouth 24/05/2006
Jen and the girls. Can't believe you haven't got any wind! Sam and Nell's sandpit lid has flown off at least 5 times today as its blowing a gale down here in not so sunny Bournemouth!!! Hope your sore hands get better. Missed your interview on Meridian last night - gutted! Thinking of you all the time. Lots of love, Emma xxxxx


Natasha from London 24/05/2006
Hi Rach Hope you are in good spirits - Just imagine George Clooney naked with booze and chocolate at the end! Love Tash x


Guy from Adventure First Aid 24/05/2006
Hi Foxes. Keep going you four. Dont let the wind thing grind you down. Knowing you lot, you will be as positive as ever and racing home anyway... and think, a first female crossing AND the second female crossing all at once.... keep safe...Guy


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


Toby from London 23/05/2006
Hi Jennifer, nice site, nice trip! Look out for them polar bears. Goodluck.


Stephanie from Melbourne for now 23/05/2006
I have truly enjoyed reading about all of the exploits of the arctic foxes...I am very impressed by the determination you guys have showed over the last several weeks. Hard to believe you have done all of that while I have been sitting at my desk job. My best to you Jenny!!


Marion, Gordon and Glen from Goudhurst 23/05/2006
Congratulations on the wonderful first leg of your journey. So sorry to learn the weather is too good over there. Perhaps we could do a swap - send us your nice weather and we can send you the high winds we have been having here! We are keeping everything crossed for you and hope Cath's wind dancing has the desired effect! Love and best wishes from us all.


Laura from Teston 23/05/2006
Hiya Jo, Felicity, Rachel and Jenny Congratulations so far. Just seen you all on TV. Good to see you all looking well esp Jo peeping out of your tent. Keep it going and here's to a successful return journey with lots of GOOD LUCK and best wishes Love from Laura and all the Pilbeam familyxxxx


Alex from Cardiff 23/05/2006

Dear Jo & all the foxes. Well done on the first leg & have my fingers crossed for strong winds for a speedy second leg. My orange foxes t-shirt is fab! Lots of love, Diane


Kim from London 22/05/2006
What!? No wind!? Rubbish! The biggest tests come in the face of disappointment, so keep those heads high girls and enjoy your successes so far. We are behind you all the way even if the wind isn't!


Samantha from London 22/05/2006
A few weeks ago I saw a young woman pulling a tyre behind her at Bushy Park. I thought it seemed rather an extreme thing to do, but today I found out about your trip through the met office website and have now discovered that she was one of the Foxes in training! Congrats on completing the first leg of your trip and all the best for the return leg. Rather you than me!!


Cath from Tonbridge 22/05/2006
What, no wind!? Boo -what a shame. We're having more than enough here for you in Tonbridge...and rain and thunder! Rubbish! No sitting in the garden with Pimms as I planned :o( Luckily there seems to be a lot of surplus warm Foxy kit lying around at Pippins, so I have stolen it all - ha ha! Thanks! About to go and do a wind dance for you. love Cath x


Taryn Munro from Pacific Pines 22/05/2006

Congratulations Foxy ladeez! Top Buzz! Still can't believe where you are and what you've achieved (albeit with the help of gaffer tape; I always knew there was no probem it couldn't fix!) All the best for the return leg. Can't wait to hear all about it Rach xx


AK from Wimborne 17/05/2006
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.


Luke from Providence, Rhode Island, US 17/05/2006

Becky and Holland from Ashcombe 17/05/2006

Carol (FAC) from Sydney, Downunder 16/05/2006
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


Jenny Dean from Buckfastleigh 16/05/2006

Claire Wright from St Albans 16/05/2006

Amelia Paul from Bristol 15/05/2006
Hey there Rachel - and the other foxes, well done for getting this far. Been listening to the podcasts, you come across so well! When you get back Rach, there will be a scan picture of my little baby at 12 weeks for you to see! By the time I see you I will have a bump and a half! Good luck for the rest of the expedition, I am thinking of you all... Can't wait to see you and catch up in person Rach! Aaron sends love too.

Cate Dodkin from London 15/05/2006
Loving the website Pugh! I have passed the address to all the OTC boys in Iraq who are having a bit of a bad time, its certainly keeping them entertained! Good luck and keep the spirits up, lots of love, Cate


Evil from London 15/05/2006
Rachel and Foxes, you are making phenomenal progress. Every day I wonder how you are and what it must be like for you. What you are doing is so a-w-e-s-o-m-e. Every day I hope for your safe return and that your knicker elastic is still holding out. Love, E.


Jane and James from London 15/05/2006
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


Marloes from London 15/05/2006
Hi Jenny, it sounds amazing! Enjoy, you superwoman! X


Ross & Nick from Toronto 15/05/2006
Hello Foxy-Fox Rachel & all other Foxy Ladies - so close to the end...almost there...must push on...so close...can almost taste it. Would be a load easier if you stopped smashing all you equipment! So proud of you - you have done something really special. You even have your own North American fan club now. Can't wait 'til you are riding high all the way home on those crazy kites. xoxoxo Ross & Nick
