All 4 cars are now at the check point, most of people are a sleep as they drove around last night filming the competitors.   Tess and Pete, the slowest team, which we picked up and drove here have now left the camp. The current leaders have just arrived and the second team is are very close behind.

We will be with Gisli and Kenny in 2-3 hours, they need to do a repair to one of the car but have been taking it easy and are waiting for us.   We have picked up the BBC camera crew and the competition is going very well, we are though picking up the team that is moving slowest and are bringing them to the midway Check Point.   This will reduce the distance between the teams.

Gísli and Kanny are now located 190 kilometers from Start line and they have 630 kilometers to go before they get to the South Pole. They have been transporting the film crew back and forth the way the competitors will be skiing. Some of the teams have been moving really fast, up to 50 kilometers pr. day, and Gísli and Kenny now have to start concentrating on servicing them. Therefore they have to leave part of the filming crew behind. They will wait for Hjalti and Tony which are now 700 kilometers away. Hjalti and Tony have not been able to drive fast for the last few days but now they are now driving into better conditions and hopefully they will be able to drive the last 700 kilometers faster.

DEC 05
Hjalti and Gísli have been feeling mountain sick for the last two days. They are starting to feel better; hopefully this will be over soon!


DEC 02
Today Hjalti and Gísli managed to drive up to the plateau 183 kilometers from Novo, through the crevases area. They found a suitable place for the airport to land and then drove back to Novo. Fuel consumption is approximately 30 liter pr. 100 km. This is big news within this area. Everything is going according to plan!
