Arctic Challenge latest - boys doing good…

The pictures don’t look great - grey weather, fog and icy temperatures. Our team is really up against it, as well as some gruelling race conditions, they are going against some of the best enduro race teams in the World.

They are currently on the Expedition Stage of the Race - bascially a 120km run over two days. This is after 3 previous days of mountain biking, icefjord paddling and glacier trekking - so they won’t exactly be ‘fresh-legged.’ Add to this the fact that they have to orientate themselves in a harsh terrain (in the fog) and you begin to understand what the guys are going though. One wrong turn in the fog and you’ll be way behind (this happened to Team Salamon) - Team Finisterre is doing pretty well and are currently around ninth.

They are back in a few days so will hear things first hand and how the kit got on. Watch this space.
