Stupid, but brave.

Certainly am, hence the solo and unsupported nature of the trip.

But I'm not Robert Falcon Scott - thank Christ!

Did you see that bird on the Top Gear North Pole Challenge? Kite boarded to suplement her speed. You can get up quite a speed.

Turkey, for goodness sake.

What's the point of having traditions if people go off and do the complete opposite....

Caught the 2nd half of a documentary thing re-creating the Scott/Amundsen race to the south pole the other day.

Upshot was that Amundsen was a competant leader who had planned properly and allowed a decent margin of error. Scott was a good leader of men but was let down by bad planning and over optimism.

That and the fact that Amundsen used dogs all the way there and back and Scott decided to man haul from the halfway point.

Come to think of it, you're man hauling all the way arn'y you?.....

Tradionally we have bacalhau (dry cured cod) on Xmas eve, and Xmas day we have roast baby goat. Yum!

Polar bear? I'll be on the way back to the exit point by then (hopefully!)

No mate, I'm taking enough food to enable a small pygmy tribe to get by for a year

Or a polar bear a couple of weeks
