Greenland: it's
done! Devon
McDiarmid, Derek Crowe and Adrian Hayes arrived at the head of MacCormick Fjord
near to Qaanaaq (Thule) on Saturday 25 July. During the last 100 km the guys
didn’t get much wind and had to sledge-haul most this distance, in area
littered with hidden crevasses and melt water. "It resembled water skiing
more than snow skiing and was a bit more challenging than even we bargained
for!” said Adrian, after 67 days of kite-skiing across Greenland.
Patagonia update:
Turning around
Aussie couple Rob Rigato and Linda Beilharz took 23 day’s food with them for
their expedition on the Southern Patagonia Icecap. Progress across the wet,
deep snow was extremely slow. After much consideration they decided to turn
around after nearly two weeks into the expedition. The two have posted a photo
library with a debrief.
Helen Lloyd’s bike
ride through Africa kicked off On 14 July, UK Helen Lloyd left on a mission to cycle 20
000 km in 2 years from Cambridge in England to Cape Town in South Africa. Her
route will take her through Western Europe, West Africa, East Africa and
eventually Southern Africa.
Young guns sailing the world When American Zac Sunderland
departed on his yacht from Marina del Rey, California on 14 June 2008 he was 16
years old. His dream was to become the youngest person to sail around the
world. Thirteen months later, on July 16, 2009 he arrived back at his starting
point. Another 17-year-old, British Mike Perham, is also on a yacht voyage
around the world and is currently mooring in Panama. He was 16 when he left and
his intention was to sail around the world non-stop, single-handed, unassisted.
Said Mike, “I always knew that some people would try to pit us against each
other and it bugs me when that happens. Was it Zac vs Mike? No. I tell you what
it is. It's two teenagers going out there, living their dream and having the
adventure of a lifetime!”
