Hi, I'm Chris the Polar Race web guy. I also run the daily scheduled check-in calls the teams make once a night. Well, the boys asked me to put something up on their blog so you guys would know what's going on.
Well, currently they are in the lead, but it's early days yet, and they might not know it. They are making good progress but have been having trouble with the ski bindings and managed to break 4 bindings on their first day out! So they have been making repairs with the materials they have - mostly duct tape and cable ties - in order to be able to continue skiing.
They commented last night that they had seen a number of old polar bear tracks, but nothing more recent than a few days.
They look to be the first into checkpoint and should arrive there sometime during this afternoon (it's only 8:30am local time here at the moment...)
Not trying to plug too much, but their latest positions updated nightly (here, so will have changed first thing in the AM in the UK) and are all plotted on a map over at polarrace.com, so check it out.
