We have now switched off the ‘contact the team’ function on the website , thank you for all your words of encouragement to the team.
What can one say? Inspiration, role model, figurehead? All these terms appear trite and inadequate when we read of your experiences. I am sure that the bond between you all will remain constant, and the times you re tell the stories and revisit the photos will bring this epic adventure back to life. You are a truly remarkable bunch and I know that you have stirred the adventurous spirit in many young people. At the same time you have emphasised the stunning achievement of Shackleton's team 100 years ago. Family, friends, and those who now know you through your exploits are proud of you and look forward to a beer or three on your return. Oh and don't forget my penguin!
