The Race is on

After a delayed start (4 days) due to very bad weather, the race is now underway. We had hoped to be able to post an audio blog before the start but that has not been possible. Mark did leave a message to say that all was well and that  the team had come through the final training period very well. We do expect to have an audio blog when the guys reach half way. We will post daily reports on the team's progress. All positive messages of support for the team will be greatly appreciated by them and we will pass these on as often as possible. If you find yourself winging about the cold snap over the next few days, think about the real hardship Mark, Simon and Inge are enduring every step of the way.
